DanCann Pharma A/S’ shares commence trading on the OTCQB venture market in the United States
COPENHAGEN, Denmark, 5 December 2022 - DanCann Pharma A/S (SS: DANCAN) ("DanCann Pharma" or the "Company"), a Danish company powered by cannabinoids, hereby announces that the Company has been welcomed by OTC Markets Group for trading on OTCQB in the US - an important step for DanCann Pharma into the US capital markets improving access for US-Investors to DCPXF-shares.
DanCann Pharma has been approved and qualified to trade on the OTCQB Venture Market under the symbol "DCPXF". OTC Markets Group is an operator of regulated markets for trading 12,000 US and international securities providing international companies with the opportunity to make their shares more easily accessible to US investors. US investors can now find the current financial disclosures and real-time level two (2) quotes for DanCann Pharma on www.otcmarkets.com.
The trading on OTCQB marks an important step for DanCann Pharma in providing more transparent trading and tapping demand from US investors. The purpose is to increase visibility and accessibility in the US capital market thereby providing greater liquidity and value to the Company’s shareholders.
Jeppe Krog Rasmussen, Founder and CEO of DanCann Pharma, comments:
- The timing is perfect. We have just received EU-GMP-approval of our high-end production facilities Biotech Pharm1 and is ready to start production of biomaterial for export. As we continue to grow and wish to position DanCann Pharma as a leading contributor to the medicinal cannabis market, we have experienced considerable interest over time in the Company from US-based investors. To leverage on this interest and increase visibility and accessibility in the US capital market, we decided to join the OTCQB market. We are looking forward to the opportunities this will bring to the Company, as well as the value we believe it will bring for our shareholders.
As DanCann Pharma is listed on a qualified foreign exchange already (Spotlight Stock Market), the streamlined market standards enable DanCann Pharma to utilize the home market reporting to make company information available in the US through OTCQB. To qualify for trading, DanCann Pharma has meet financial standards, follow best practice corporate governance, and has demonstrated compliance with applicable security laws.
Shares traded on the OTCQB market is sourced via the Spotlight Stock Market (Scale Segment), which is expected to have a positive effect on the overall trading of the DanCann Pharma shares. Joining the OTCQB venture market will facilitate US investors to trade in DanCann Pharma’s ordinary share in US dollars, with a US ticker symbol (DCPXF), and during US market hours.
Jeppe Krog Rasmussen comments:
- DanCann Pharma is uniquely positioned as a Danish/European company working within medicinal cannabis and therapeutic cannabinoids. The company is not backed by joint venture constellations or other funding from the USA or Canada. DanCann Pharma already hold a number of permits and has signed collaboration agreements with producers and distributors in Europa and North America. We believe there is latent interest at the US markets to invest in our Company’s progress.
DanCann Pharma’s share remains listed – and will continue to trade – on the Spotlight Stock Exchange and no new ordinary shares will be issued as part of the process. Joining the OTCQB venture market will allow easier trading access for US investors, which the company believes will increase liquidity and revenue in the share as well as the possibility to broaden the shareholder base. North America is a world leader within biotech and cannabis which makes investing in an established and fast-moving Danish market contributor even more relevant.
Jeppe Krog Rasmussen elaborates:
- So far, we have had a successful journey based on a large number of loyal investors. However, as DanCann Pharma is increasing in size and professionality, we wish to reflect this in our investor-base. We hope that our introduction in the US venture market will open for a number of semi- institutional and in the future looking towards more institutional investors. The OTCQB dual quotation marks an important step in our effort to provide US investors with easier access to the DanCann Pharma share. US investors can now – finally - trade the DanCann Pharma share in US dollars and during US hours.
