 Phosphagenics Lists on the International OTCQX Market in the U.S.

 

 

Phosphagenics Limited (ASX: POH, AIM: PSG, OTCQX: PPGNY) today announced that its Level 1 American Depository Receipts (ADR) are now trading on the International OTCQX, a new premium market tier in the US for international exchange-listed companies, operated by Pink Sheets, LLC.

 

Launched in March 2007, the International OTCQX provides a gateway to the U.S. securities markets for international companies that are listed on a qualified international exchange and provide ongoing disclosure to U.S. investors.

 

International OTCQX is designed to distinguish reputable international issuers from the thousands of over-the-counter (OTC) securities traded in the U.S. through a strict focus on companies with solid operating businesses that provide credible disclosure to investors.

 

“Upgrading to the OTCQX market enhances our U.S. investor visibility and improves our access to the most liquid market in the world,” said Harry Rosen, President and CEO of Phosphagenics.  “Offering our securities on the OTCQX market significantly enhances our U.S. focus, and complements our recently established U.S. corporate presence and investor relations program, as well as our U.S. business development activities.”  

 

Jane Street Markets acts as a market maker for Phosphagenics’ ADRs, which are deposited with The Bank of New York Mellon, the Company’s Principal American Liaison (PAL).
