You left out a important of the listing requirements for the OTCQB.
"Current Disclosure.
Make current disclosure available pursuant to one of the following reporting standards: a. SEC Reporting Standard; b. Regulation A Reporting Standard; c. Bank Reporting Standard; d. International Reporting Standard; or e. Alternative Reporting Standard."
Initially a company was required to be a SEC filer but the OTCM decided it was far more important to include more companies as it was just meaningless income stream.
I didn't think anyone still believed that the OTCQB was uplisting - the SEC doesn't acknowledge any importance of being listed as OTCQB.
