Trading Continues Under Ticker "QRON"
NEW YORK, NY, Aug. 12, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via NEWMEDIAWIRE – Qrons Inc. (OTCQB: QRON) an emerging biotechnology company developing advanced stem cell-synthetic hydrogel-based solutions for the treatment of traumatic brain injuries, including concussions and penetrating injuries, announced today that its common stock commenced trading today on the OTCQB Venture Market (OTCQB) after successfully upgrading from the Pink Market.
While Qrons has been a fully reporting company since its inception, the Company believes that the move to OTCQB will provide investor benefits including enhanced reporting standards, greater access to analyst coverage and news services, management certification and more comprehensive compliance requirements.
Jonah Meer, Qrons' Chief Executive Officer, commented, "We anticipate that the broader exposure afforded by the OTCQB Venture Market will raise our visibility within the investment community, assist in increasing the liquidity of our common stock and help to broaden our shareholder base. Upgrading to OTCQB is a significant milestone for any company, as it provides shareholders and potential investors with greater transparency and liquidity and will help generate exposure of our company to institutional investors.”
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 at www.otcmarkets.com
