VANCOUVER, BC, Oct. 12, 2021 /CNW/ - Filament Health Corp. (NEO: FH) (OTCQB: FLHLF) ("Filament" or the "Company"), an exclusively-natural psychedelic drug discovery company, today announced its common shares have been approved for uplisting and trading on the OTCQB® Venture Market ("OTCQB"). The Company has also received approval from the Depository Trust Company ("DTC") to make the Company's common shares eligible to be electronically cleared and settled through DTC ("DTC Eligibility").
Effective today, the Company's common shares are quoted on the OTCQB under the symbol "FLHLF," and will continue to trade on Canada's NEO Exchange under its existing symbol "FH."
