CALGARY, Alberta, Sept. 12, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Tanager Energy Inc. (“Tanager” or the “Corporation”) (TSX-V:TAN) (OTCQB:TANEF) is pleased to announce that effective September 8, 2017, the symbol for trading of Tanager’s common shares in the United States on the OTCQB® Venture Market (“OTCQB”) has changed from “MNIRF” to “TANEF”. Tanager continues to trade on the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSX-V”) under the trading symbol “TAN”.
Effective August 25, 2017, Tanager’s common shares were upgraded and approved for trading on the OTCQB in the United States.
The OTCQB in the United States is similar to the TSX-V in Canada for early stage and developing international companies. To be eligible for the OTCQB, companies must be current in their financial reporting, pass a minimum bid price test and undergo an annual company verification and management certification process.
The OTCQB provides more efficient access to U.S. investors, helping Canadian companies to build shareholder value with a goal of enhancing liquidity and share valuation. In addition, investors have access to more transparent pricing information through the availability of premium Real-Time Level 2 quotes. This, in turn, leads to more efficient trading for investors. Through trading on the OTCQB, companies can engage a far greater network of U.S. investor, data distributors and media partners, ensuring U.S. investors have access to the same high-quality information that is available to investors in Canada, but through U.S. platforms and portals used to conduct research.
The corporate and securities law firm of Berns & Berns acts as the Corporation’s OTC Markets Sponsor.
Tom M. Crain, Jr., interim CEO of Tanager, stated, “Our new trading symbol of “TANEF” on the OTCQB is more closely identifiable with Tanager’s name. Trading our common shares on the OTCQB is a significant step forward for Tanager. It will enable us to expand our U.S. shareholder base as well as offer the company’s existing U.S. shareholders a more transparent and efficient platform to obtain quotations and trade in Tanager securities.”
Neither the TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulation Services Provider (as the term is defined in the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.
Tanager Energy Inc. is an oil and natural gas and mineral exploration company headquartered in Calgary, Alberta, with executive offices in Houston, Texas. The Corporation’s common shares are listed on the TSX Venture Exchange under the trading symbol “TAN” and OTCQB as “TANEF”.
