HANOVER, MD, Dec. 06, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Processa Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (OTCQB: PCSA), a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company developing products to improve the survival and/or quality of life for patients who have high unmet medical need conditions, announced today that its stock has commenced trading on the OTCQB Market (OTCQB) after successfully up-listing from the OTC Pink Market.
The Company believes its listing on the OTCQB will provide enhanced investor benefits including higher reporting standards, greater access to analyst coverage and news services, and more comprehensive compliance requirements.
The OTCQB is considered by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) as an "established public market" for the purpose of determining the public market price when registering securities for resale with the SEC. The OTC Pink is not considered as such and most broker-dealers will not trade or recommend OTC Pink stocks. Because the OTCQB dramatically increases transparency, reporting standards, management certification and compliance requirements, the majority of broker-dealers trade stocks on the OTCQB. Historically this has resulted in greater liquidity and awareness for companies that reach the OTCQB tier.
“We are very pleased to be trading on the OTCQB as it will provide our shareholders and potential new investors with greater transparency and liquidity in our common stock; will broaden our shareholder base; and will help to generate enhanced exposure of our Company among institutional investors who typically would not invest in Pink Sheet companies," stated David Young, CEO of Processa Pharmaceuticals.
