I asked your questions and here is the response I received:
"OTCQB companies must have at least one market maker quoting the security through our Pink Quote system. If they do not, a 211 would be required. However, a vast majority of the quoted securities in the OTC space have at least one market maker in our system.
If a company is late on its filings, they are moved to Pink Sheets Limited or Pink Sheets No Information (depending on the last filing date) until the situation is rectified. FINRA still has the ability to add Es to the symbol if the company is also quoted on OTCBB. If it is only quoted on Pink Quote, no E would be added.
