5 terms

otcqx financial

"has qualified to trade on the OTCQX® Best Market."

OTCQX is the highest tier of the over‑the‑counter (OTC) marketplaces where shares of companies that aren’t listed on major stock exchanges trade. Think of it as a “premium shelf” for OTC stocks: companies must meet stricter financial and disclosure standards, which can mean clearer information, potentially better investor confidence and somewhat easier trading than lower OTC tiers. Investors watch OTCQX listings as a signal of relative transparency and credibility among OTC-traded firms.

otcqb financial

"upgraded to OTCQX from the OTCQB® Venture Market."

OTCQB is a tier of the over‑the‑counter (OTC) market where smaller or developing companies list their shares for trading without being on a major stock exchange. Think of it like a well‑kept side street market: companies must meet basic reporting and transparency checks so investors get more information than the lowest OTC tier, but trading is usually less liquid and riskier than on big exchanges. Investors care because OTCQB listings can offer early access to growth stories but come with higher price swings and greater chance of limited resale options.

level 2 quotes technical

"financial disclosure and Real-Time Level 2 quotes for the company"

Level 2 quotes show the full list of buy and sell orders at multiple prices throughout the market, not just the single best bid and ask. For investors, this reveals how much supply and demand exists at different price points—useful for judging liquidity, spotting potential price moves, and placing or timing larger trades; think of it as seeing the entire checkout line instead of only the person next to the cashier.

corporate governance regulatory

"follow best practice corporate governance, and demonstrate compliance"

Corporate governance is the system of rules, roles and oversight that determines how a company is directed and controlled, including the responsibilities of its board, executives and shareholders. Like the steering wheel and map for a car trip, it shapes decisions, sets checks on power and defines who can hold leaders accountable; strong governance reduces risk, builds trust and helps investors judge whether a company is likely to protect capital and deliver reliable returns.

securities laws regulatory

"demonstrate compliance with applicable securities laws."

Securities laws are the rules and enforcement systems that govern the buying, selling and disclosure of stocks, bonds and other investment products; think of them as the traffic laws for financial markets that set what must be disclosed, forbid fraud and require fair dealing. They matter to investors because they help ensure companies provide accurate information, reduce the risk of deception or insider advantage, and make it easier to compare investments and seek remedies if something goes wrong.
