John, this is what it says on the OTC Markets web site..... Beginning in 2014, OTC Markets Group is making changes to make OTCQB a better venture stage marketplace for early and developing U.S. and international companies. Companies will be required to meet eligibility standards aimed at improving the information available to investors. To be eligible, U.S. and international companies must be current in their reporting, meet a minimum bid test of $0.01, and undergo a new annual verification and management certification process.
