Argo Blockchain Commences Trading on the OTCQB Venture Market in the United States
Argo Blockchain has received approval to commence trading on the OTCQB Venture Market under the ticker symbol ARBKF starting January 13, 2021. This will complement its existing shares trading on the London Stock Exchange. The OTCQB supports companies meeting specific financial reporting and verification criteria, enabling Argo to enhance visibility among US investors. This cross-trading initiative aims to broaden the company's shareholder base as interest in the cryptocurrency market grows. No new shares will be issued, and existing trading on the London Stock Exchange remains unaffected.
- Increased access to US institutional and retail investors.
- Potential for a broader shareholder base.
- Enhanced visibility in the US market as cryptocurrency interest rises.
- None.
Argo Blockchain (LSE: ARB), the leading cryptocurrency miner based in the UK, is pleased to announce that it has received approval from the OTC Market Group Inc. to commence trading on the OTCQB Venture Market under the ticker symbol “ARBKF” at the opening of the trading day on 13 January 2021. Argo’s shares will continue to trade on the London Stock Exchange.
The OTCQB offers transparent trading in entrepreneurial and development stage companies that have met a minimum bid price test, are current in their financial reporting and have undergone an annual verification and management certification process.
Trading on the US OTC market has no impact on existing Argo ordinary shares trading on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange and no new ordinary shares will be issued as part of the cross-trade. Argo will continue to rely on the announcements and disclosures it makes to the London Stock Exchange and will have no Sarbanes-Oxley or SEC reporting requirements.
