Vejii Announces Commencement of Trading on OTCQB Market and Provides Update on DTC Eligibility
VANCOUVER, BC, Jan. 21, 2022 /CNW/ - Vejii Holdings Ltd. (CSE: VEJI) (OTC: VEJIF) ("the Company'' or "Vejii"), a North American online marketplace for plant-based and sustainable products, is pleased to announce that the Company's common shares (the "Common Shares") will begin trading on the OTCQB market (the "OTCQB") effective as of January 21, 2022 under the symbol "VEJIF". The Common Shares will continue to trade on the Canadian Securities Exchange (the "CSE") under the symbol "VEJI".
Vejii has filed for eligibility for electronic clearing and settlement of the Common Shares through the Depository Trust Company ("DTC") in the United States and expects to receive a response in the coming weeks. Vejii will provide an update once it obtains eligibility from DTC.
DTC is a subsidiary of the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation, and manages the electronic clearing and settlement of publicly traded companies. Securities that are eligible to be electronically cleared and settled through the DTC are considered "DTC eligible." This electronic method of clearing securities speeds up the receipt of stock and cash, and thus accelerates the settlement process for investors.
"We are very pleased to have received approval from OTC Markets Group to trade our shares on the OTCQB and we look forward to receiving DTC eligibility in the near future as we start our US investor awareness campaign. We launched Vejii in the US in the last year and have developed significant US commercial operations through Shopvejii.com and our recent acquisitions of VeganEssentiials.com and VEDGEco.com. We view being able to trade on the OTCQB as an important aspect of developing a following with US investors," said Kory Zelickson, CEO of Vejii.
