DORADO, Puerto Rico, June 18, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Green Spirit Industries Inc. (OTCQB:GSRX) (“Green Spirit” or the “Company”), an operator of retail cannabis dispensaries which is in the process of expanding its business to include the cultivation, extraction, manufacture and delivery of cannabis and cannabinoid products, announced today that its stock commenced trading on the OTCQB Market (OTCQB) on June 13, after successfully uplisting from the OTC Pink Market.

The Company believes that the move to 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 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 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 anticipate that trading on the OTCQB will raise our visibility within the investment community and will help to broaden our shareholder base,” stated Les Ball, CEO of Green Spirit. “Uplisting to the OTCQB is a significant milestone for any company, as it provides shareholders and potential investors with greater transparency and liquidity, and exposes Green Spirit to institutional investors which, historically, do not invest in Pink Sheet companies.”

The OTCQB is a venture market designed for early-stage and developing US and international companies. To be eligible, companies must be current in their reporting and undergo an annual verification and management certification process. To learn more, visit OTCQB.
