VANCOUVER, BC and BREDA, THE NETHERLANDS / ACCESSWIRE / June 2, 2021 / Organto Foods Inc. (TSX-V:OGO) (OTC PINK:OGOFF) (FSE:OGF) ("Organto" or "the Company"), an integrated provider of organic and value-added organic fruits and vegetables today announced that its shares are now eligible for electronic clearing and settlement in the United States through the Depository Trust Company ("DTC").
DTC is a subsidiary of the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation, one of the world's largest securities depositories, and manages the electronic clearing and settlement of publicly traded companies in the United States. Securities that are eligible to be electronically cleared and settled through the DTC are considered "DTC eligible." This reduces costs and accelerates the settlement process for investors and brokers, allowing the stock to be traded by a larger group of brokerage firms by complying with the DTC standards.
"Having our shares eligible for electronic clearing and settlement in the United States is an important step in our strategy that we believe will expand our potential investor base in the United States," commented Steve Bromley, Chair and Co-CEO. "Given our unique positioning in fast growing healthy foods markets combined with the strong growth we have been and continue to experience, we look forward to introducing Organto to additional investors in the United States and making our stock more accessible to them."
ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD,
Steve Bromley
Chair and Co-CEO
