NEW YORK, June 14, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Thomson Reuters
has expanded its distribution arrangement with OTC Markets Group to include OTC Markets Group's End-of-Day Pricing Data for
OTCQX®, OTCQB® and Pink® securities. In addition to the Real-Time Level 1 and Level 2 Data that OTC Markets Group already
makes available through the Thomson Reuters Elektron and Eikon suite of products, Thomson Reuters clients now can receive
reliable and comprehensive closing bid, offer and trade data for 10,000 OTCQX, OTCQB and Pink securities via its DataScope
product suite.
OTC Markets Group's End-of-Day Pricing Service will provide Thomson Reuters clients with a daily snapshot of the closing bid
and offer price, market designation and other security information for all OTCQX, OTCQB and Pink securities. End-of-Day
Data may be used for portfolio pricing and valuation, investment accounting, clearing and settlement, client statement

value. OTC Markets Group is the recognized Level 1 price source for valuing OTCQX, OTCQB and Pink securities by the
Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB), International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and the American Institute for
Certified Public Accountants (AICPA).

Pricing Data provides asset and investment managers, broker-dealers and other financial institutions with the closing price data
they need to value OTCQX, OTCQB and Pink securities."
