I Googled the benefits of uplisting to the OTCQB. One of the benefits caught my eye: "Mergers & Acquisitions Currency - When engaged in merger or acquisition talks, your company’s stock will be viewed as a more attractive bargaining chip if it is listed on a national exchange. This will allow you to negotiate more favorable terms and less dilution for your shareholders."
Makes me wonder if a merger is in the back of the Doc's mind....hmmmm.
