Nowadays some people call that uplisting. Ha, ha, ha. What a joke. It used to be that going from the Pinks to the OTC was nothing more than a tier change. In the old days the OTCBB is where OTCs and Pinks traded, but things have changed, and the meaning of certain terms has also changed.
And look at today's press release. Barry Henthorn is liberally using the term NASDAQ in a way that it will give a false impression.
At the top there is the NYSE and the NASDAQ. Then there are secondary exchanges.
That's very different from the OTC, which has four tiers with multiple sub-tiers. If you want to call the different tiers of the OTC uplisting, that's fine by me. But it really is misleading to make such a claim. Of course, with time, the meaning of words changes. In the days when the OTCBB was king in the lower echelons of trading, they would have laughed at anyone calling this an uplist.
