NEW YORK, June 2, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- OTC Markets Group Inc. (OTCQX: OTCM), operator
of the OTCQX®, OTCQB® and Pink® markets for 10,000 U.S. and global securities, today announced the launch of the OTCQX® Dividend Index (.OTCQXDIV), a new
benchmark for tracking the performance of US and International Companies trading on the OTCQX Market that pay a regular
dividend.
The OTCQX Dividend Index, currently comprised of over 100 U.S. and Global companies, is designed to highlight for income
seeking investors the range of dividend paying companies traded on the OTCQX Best Market. These companies range from the
largest global champions to local community banks. The Index is market capitalization weighted. Eligible securities
include current members of the OTCQX Composite Index that pay a regular dividend.
"Investors are seeking income opportunities and our OTCQX Best Market offers a range of high quality, investor focused,
companies they can't find on a traditional stock exchange," said R. Cromwell Coulson, President
and CEO of OTC Markets Group. "With the launch of our OTCQX Dividend Index, investors now have a tool for identifying and
tracking the performance of these income paying securities."
