Mountain Valley MD Holdings Announces Application for OTCQB Listing in U.S., Provides Update on Warrant Exercises

TORONTO, Jan. 11, 2021 /CNW/ - Mountain Valley MD Holdings Inc. (the "Company" or "MVMD") (CSE: MVMD) (FRA: 20MP) is pleased to announce that it has submitted an application to have its common shares listed for trading on the OTCQB market (the "OTCQB"), a U.S. trading platform that is operated by the OTC Markets Group in New York. The listing of the Company's common shares on the OTCQB remains subject to the approval of the OTCQB and the satisfaction of applicable listing requirements.  This includes the filing of a Form 211 with the governing US securities regulators (i.e. FINRA), which has also been completed and is awaiting clearance, and application for DTC eligibility to enable trading on the OTCQB.

The OTCQB is recognized by the Securities and Exchange Commission as an established public market providing public information for analysis and value of securities.  As a verified market with efficient access for U.S. investors, OTCQB helps companies build shareholder value with a goal of enhancing liquidity and achieving a fair valuation.

"Recently we have had significant interest from U.S. based biotech and pharmaceutical industries, so listing MVMD on the OTCQB is an important step to provide easier access and trading capability in our Company's common shares for both institutional and retail investors," stated Dennis Hancock, President and CEO of Mountain Valley MD Holdings.  "This will contribute to one of our core strategies to enhance liquidity, building on the significant progress we have made over the past quarter."

The Company will continue to trade on the Canadian Securities Exchange under its existing symbol "MVMD" and in Frankfurt under its existing symbol "20MP".

Warrant Exercise Update
The Company also confirms that it has recently begun to receive exercises of warrants from its shareholders, issuing 3,982,570 common shares for gross proceeds of $1,393,899.  The significant majority of the Company's warrants are scheduled to expire during the 2021 calendar year, with the majority of those expiring on February 21, 2021.  All exercises will be disclosed ongoing in the Company's financial statements and related disclosure documents.

"Seeing our shareholders starting to exercise their warrants leading into this expiration period is a strong validation of their confidence in our business plan and our proven ability to execute against our objectives," continued Dennis Hancock.  "Mountain Valley MD has zero debt and our incredibly strong cash position enables us to continue our focus on execution with minimal financial distraction."
