"We are pleased to welcome Blockchain Mining as the first Tel Aviv Stock Exchange-listed company to begin cross-trading on the
OTCQX Best Market this year," said Jason Paltrowitz, Executive Vice President of Corporate
Services at OTC Markets Group. "As evidenced in a recent study conducted by Oxford Metrica, OTCQX provides international companies with increased US ownership, improved
liquidity in their home market and enhanced shareholder value. We look forward to supporting Blockchain Mining as the Company
builds visibility and long-term shareholder value in the U.S. public markets."
"Blockchain Mining is delighted to have been accepted on the OTCQX Best Market. Creating further exposure to U.S. investors is
of key strategic importance as we continue to progress our operational expansion. This action has been part of a plan to
build an active trading market for BLCM in North America, allowing investors to hold and trade
the ordinary shares directly. As previously disclosed, the ordinary shares traded on OTCQX will replace the current ADR
program," said Wes Fulford, Chief Executive Officer for the Company."
Blockchain Mining was sponsored for OTCQX by J.P. Galda & Co., a qualified third-party firm responsible for providing
guidance on OTCQX requirements and recommending membership.
The listing of the ordinary shares on the Tel-Aviv Stock Exchange is unaffected by the trading of the ordinary shares in
North America.
