“Listing on the OTCQB® venture exchange marketplace is an important milestone for the Company,” said Grant Ewing, CEO of the Company. “Qualifying for OTCQB® is a natural step for the Company towards broadening exposure of Blue Star’s activities in the U.S. It also demonstrates our commitment to increasing the investor base while providing our current and future U.S. investors convenient access to the same ease of trading, timely news and information enjoyed by investors in Canada.”
The Company also reports that it is in the process of completing its application for DTC eligibility through the Depository Trust Company “(DTC”) for electronic settlement and transfer of its Shares in the United States.
