The OTCQB is recognized by the Securities and Exchange Commission as an “established public market” for determining the public market price when registering securities for resale.

In Addition, the company announces that it has granted an aggregate of 850,000 incentive stock options to consultants of the company, exercisable at a price of thirty-five cents with the exercise periods of one year and three years from the date of grant.
