The Company is pleased to announce that trading of its
common shares commences at market open today, January 19,
2016 on the OTCQX® Best Market in the U.S. under its
existing ticker symbol "SIAF." SIAF upgraded to OTCQX from
the OTCQB® Venture Market.
The OTCQX® Market is the top tier of the U.S. over-the-
counter markets operated by OTC Markets Group. It is
reserved for established investor-focused companies meeting
high financial and governance standards, and sponsored by
professional third party advisors. SIAF has qualified to
trade on OTCQX U.S. Premier, for which eligibility standards
are higher still. For comparison, as of December 31, 2015,
there are 942 companies traded on the OTCQB market and 98
companies traded on OTCQX U.S. Premier, of which only 17 are
non-bank companies.
With OTCQX admission, OTC Market Group's Blue Sky Monitoring
Service provides SIAF a customized daily audit of the
Company's compliance status in all 50 states. Blue Sky
compliance is mandatory for broker-dealers and registered
investment advisors to solicit or recommend a security to
investors.
The Company's CEO Solomon Lee commented, "I am very pleased
to have our Company's securities traded on the OTCQX U.S.
Premier Market tier. Along with our recent admission to the
Oslo Bors' Merkur Market, trading on OTCQX will improve the
Company's ability to attract institutional investors from
the U.S. and Europe. By meeting the stricter standards in
each aspect of qualification for both venues, the Company
creates greater exposure to the investment communities on
both sides of the Atlantic, offering improved accessibility
and liquidity. We are proud of our story, delivering solid
and growing financial returns providing natural, sustainable
protein foods in China."
