NeuroVive share upgraded to OTC Markets Group – OTCQX Best Market in the US
NeuroVive Pharmaceutical AB (publ), the mitochondrial medicine company, has announced that the company’s share has been upgraded to trading on the OTC Market Group’s best market, OTCQX in the US. The upgrade implies increased accessibility and transparency for US investors and potential partners in the world’s largest pharmaceutical market.
Since March 2014, US investors have been able to trade NeuroVive shares online on the OTC market. The shares became quoted on the Pink Market in June 2015. The subsequent upgrade to OTCQX represents a further seal of approval as there are increased regulatory requirements that enable trading and companies found on OTCQX are distinguished by the integrity of their operations and diligence with which they convey their qualifications.
The upgrade is a part of NeuroVive’s strategic focus on increasing its presence in the US and raising awareness of the company amongst investors and potential partners. NeuroVive’s current projects include a pre-clinical study in traumatic brain injury (TBI) alongside prestigious University of Pennsylvania (PENN).
“US interest in NeuroVive has increased in recent years, and we believe that the upgrade to OTCQX will help to accelerate this trend as we move forward. Awareness of the company is likely to increase further in the US as our development programs progress, including those carried out alongside US partners. It’s important to have a presence on a credible and well-functioning trading platform in order to convert that interest into strengthening our international ownership structure,” commented NeuroVive’s CEO Erik Kinnman.
The NeuroVive share is registered with OTC’s reporting service for foreign securities in New York under the ticker symbol NEVPF:US. NEVPF’s share price can be monitored at www.otcmarkets.com or through US brokers.
