(CSE:AUSA, OTC:AUSAF) ("Australis" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that the Company's common shares have commenced trading on the OTCQB® Venture Market under the ticker symbol "AUSAF". The Company will continue to trade on the Canadian Securities Exchange (the "CSE") under the symbol "AUSA".
"The posting of our shares on the OTCQB, a well-known U.S. securities trading platform, should provide additional liquidity for Australis by allowing U.S. investors to more easily invest in our common stock," said Michael Carlotti, CFO of Australis. "As we continue to aggressively expand our presence within the U.S., the trading of our shares on the OTCQB platform is timely as we anticipate increasing interest in Australis by U.S. investors looking to align with a progressive U.S. growth company."
Australis is also in the process of applying for eligibility for book-entry delivery and depository services of the Depository Trust Company ("DTC"), to facilitate electronic settlement of transfers of its common shares in the United States. DTC eligibility will help enhance the Company's potential investor base and offer a more convenient trading experience for current and future shareholders.
