Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - September 19, 2018) - PowerBand Solutions Inc. (TSXV: PBX) (OTCQB: PWWBF) (FSE:
1ZVA) ("PowerBand" or the "Company"), a leading online auction and remarketing platform to buy and sell used
vehicles, is pleased to announce that the Company's common shares traded in the United States, under the symbol PWWBF, are
Depository Trust Company ("DTC") eligible.
DTC is a subsidiary of The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation, which manages electronic clearing and settlement of publicly
traded companies. Securities, such as PWWBF's, that are eligible to be electronically cleared and settled through the DTC are
considered "DTC eligible." Trading of securities through DTC allows for cost-effective clearing and guaranteed settlement, in turn
simplifying and accelerating the settlement process for investors trading PWWBF's shares.
Securities that do not have DTC eligible status are often not accepted for trading at many brokerages due to the amount of
paperwork and staff required to execute and settle trades, which makes it more difficult for a significant percentage of investors
to easily access the shares in question.
PowerBand's CEO, Kelly Jennings, commented, "We are very pleased to have obtained DTC eligibility. This status will greatly
simplify the process of investors and brokers trading and exchanging our stock in the United States, which will benefit PowerBand
and our shareholders. We also expect that being DTC eligible will improve our overall share liquidity and the attractiveness of
PowerBand's shares on the market, particularly as we introduce our online auction vehicle remarketing marketplace into the United
States."
DTC is a member of the U.S. Federal Reserve System, a limited-purpose trust company under New York State banking law, and a
registered clearing agency with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
In addition to the trading in the U.S., PowerBand's shares continue to trade on the TSX Venture Exchange (TSXV: PBX) and the
Frankfurt Stock Exchange (FSE: 1ZVA).
