Upgrading to the OTCQX Market is an important step for companies seeking to provide transparent trading for their U.S. investors. For companies listed on a qualified international exchange, streamlined market standards enable them to utilize their home market reporting to make their information available in the U.S. To qualify for OTCQX, companies must meet high financial standards, follow best practice corporate governance and demonstrate compliance with applicable securities laws.
Rob Laidlaw, Founder, Chair and CEO of VerticalScope stated, “Having direct access to the OTCQX quotation and trading platform is an important milestone, making it easier for our U.S. employees and investors to invest in VerticalScope by eliminating the requirement of maintaining a Canadian trading account. Additionally, we are confident that the transparent and efficient OTCQX platform will increase exposure and profile with U.S. private and institutional investors, representing a stepping stone towards a potential senior exchange listing in the U.S. as we continue to scale our digital enthusiast community platform.”
JWTT Inc. acted as the company’s OTCQX sponsor.
