OTC Markets Group Welcomes VerticalScope Holdings Inc. to OTCQX

OTCM, T.FORA

NEW YORK, July 17, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- OTC Markets Group Inc. (OTCQX: OTCM), operator of regulated markets for trading 12,000 U.S. and international securities, today announced VerticalScope Holdings Inc. (TSX: FORA; OTCQX: VFORF), a technology company that has built and operates a cloud-based digital platform for online enthusiast communities, has qualified to trade on the OTCQX® Best Market. VerticalScope Holdings Inc. upgraded to OTCQX from the Pink® market.

VerticalScope Holdings Inc. begins trading today on OTCQX under the symbol “VFORF.” U.S. investors can find current financial disclosure and Real-Time Level 2 quotes for the company on www.otcmarkets.com.

Upgrading to the OTCQX Market is an important step for companies seeking to provide transparent trading for their U.S. investors. For companies listed on a qualified international exchange, streamlined market standards enable them to utilize their home market reporting to make their information available in the U.S. To qualify for OTCQX, companies must meet high financial standards, follow best practice corporate governance and demonstrate compliance with applicable securities laws.

Rob Laidlaw, Founder, Chair and CEO of VerticalScope stated, “Having direct access to the OTCQX quotation and trading platform is an important milestone, making it easier for our U.S. employees and investors to invest in VerticalScope by eliminating the requirement of maintaining a Canadian trading account. Additionally, we are confident that the transparent and efficient OTCQX platform will increase exposure and profile with U.S. private and institutional investors, representing a stepping stone towards a potential senior exchange listing in the U.S. as we continue to scale our digital enthusiast community platform.”

JWTT Inc. acted as the company’s OTCQX sponsor.
