OTC Markets Group and Canadian Securities Exchange Partner on IPOs

OTC Markets Group Inc., operator of financial markets for 10,000 U.S. and global securities, and the Canadian Securities Exchange (CSE), announced that they will launch a strategic alliance that will offer a new program for issuers looking for an efficient IPO experience in Canada and cost-effective access to North American investors. This solution will offer issuers the CSE's IPO listing and trading services, coupled with the U.S. disclosure distribution and secondary trading on OTC Markets' OTCQX Best Market/OTCQB Venture Market.  The resulting combination will offer an alternative for international companies seeking to raise capital, build global investor awareness and have their shares trade in two of the world's largest financial markets.
