September 4, 2018 (Source) — United Battery Metals Corp. (CSE: UBM, OTC: UBMCF, FWB: 0UL) (“United Battery Metals” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce it has been quoted under its new symbol “UBMCF” on the OTC Markets.
The quotation on the OTC Markets and Depository Trust Company (DTC) eligibility enables U.S. investors to purchase and hold common shares of the Company in their accounts and allows for electronic settlement and transfer of United Battery Metals common shares in the United States.
The DTC, a subsidiary of the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation, manages the electronic clearing and settlement of publicly traded companies. Securities that are eligible to be electronically cleared and settled through the DTC are considered DTC eligible. This electronic method of clearing securities accelerates the settlement process for investors.
“United Battery’s expansion into the U.S. securities markets is a milestone that provides for greater visibility in the large U.S. market, and provides for further liquidity for Canadian and U.S. shareholders,” said United Battery Metals’ Chief Executive Officer Matt Rhoades. “We are confident that being quoted on the OTC Markets and the Company’s common shares being DTC eligible will significantly enhance liquidity for our shareholders and extend investor awareness of our Company throughout the U.S. and beyond.”
The Company’s quotation on the OTC Markets and DTC eligibility of its common shares is part of the Company’s investor awareness program to improve visibility and maximize investor exposure in North America and Europe. It is intended to provide easy access to trading of the Company’s shares to residents of the United States and is the third global venue for United Battery Metals’ common shares that also includes the Canadian Securities Exchange and the Frankfurt Stock Exchange.
