CYBER ENVIRO-TECH, INC IS FILING AN APPLICATION TO UPGRADE TO OTCQB MARKETPLACE

Rhea-AI Summary

Cyber Enviro-Tech, Inc. (CETI) announces the filing of an application to upgrade its trading platform from OTC Pink to OTCQB, enhancing reporting standards and financial transparency. The upgrade process includes specific criteria and aims to provide investors with more reliable information. CETI has a proactive approach to regulatory compliance, exceeding Pink's requirements and aligning with OTCQB standards, reflecting the company's commitment to growth and investor confidence.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., April 2, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- (OTC Pink: CETI), Cyber Enviro-Tech, Inc. (CETI) is pleased to announce it is filing a formal application to upgrade its trading platform from the Pink Open Market (Pink), aka OTC Pink, to the OTCQB (Over-The-Counter Quotation Bureau). This advancement will mark a pivotal step forward as companies listed on the OTCQB market place are required to go through more rigorous reporting requirements including PCAOB* audited financial statements.  In contrast, companies listed on the Pink Open Market are not required to file audited financial statements and certain other mandated Securities and Exchange (SEC) disclosures, which could increase risks to investors due to limited and unaudited financial information.

The upgrade process to OTCQB necessitates adherence to specific criteria to include: maintaining current reporting status, undergoing annual verification and certification, meeting a $0.01 bid test, non-bankruptcy status, having at least 50 beneficial shareholders, and a public float in excess of 10% of the total shares outstanding.  The Company estimates the approval process will take four to eight weeks.

"Since the inception of CETI, formed nearly four years ago, we have consistently maintained our reporting standards to mirror those of entities listed on the OTCQB and other more regulated exchanges," said Kim D. Southworth co-founder and CEO. "In the past two years alone, we have filed two PCAOB audited annual 10-K reports as well as five reviewed quarterly statements.  This surpasses the reporting obligations of Pink and aligns seamlessly with those of the OTCQB market place.  Such proactive measures signify a natural progression for our company.  This heightened regulatory compliance is valuable as CETI embarks on further domestic and international expansion, providing an additional layer of assurance for both existing and potential investors."

For access to CETI's annual and quarterly reports, interested parties may visit the SEC website and navigate to the Filings section.
