GUIDELINES FOR PROVIDING ADEQUATE CURRENT INFORMATION
Pink Sheets encourages all issuers of OTC equity securities to make adequate current information available to the public markets. Pink Sheets believes that federal securities laws, such as Rules 10b-5 and 15c2-11 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended from time to time (“Exchange Act”), and Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended from time to time (“Securities Act”), and state Blue Sky laws require issuers to provide adequate current public information. With a view to encouraging compliance with these laws, Pink Sheets has created these Guidelines for Providing Adequate Current Information (“Guidelines”) in order to assist issuers with understanding their disclosure obligations.1
Pink Sheets believes adequate current information must be publicly available when an issuer’s securities are quoted by a broker-dealer under the following circumstances:

At the time of initial quotation in public markets;

At any time corporate insiders or other affiliates of the issuer are offering, buying or selling the issuer’s securities in the OTC market;

During any period when a security is the subject of ongoing promotional activities having the effect of encouraging trading of the issuer’s securities in the OTC market;

At the time securities initially sold in a private placement become freely tradable in the OTC market; or

At any time the issuer’s securities are quoted on OTCQX or included in the Pink Sheets Current Information categories. (This does not include issuers listed on International OTCQX, as such issuers either (i) have a class of their securities registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act and are current in their SEC reporting obligations or (ii) are non-U.S. issuers that are exempt from registration pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 12g3-2(b) and make their home country filings available in English to the public via the Pink Sheets News Service).
These Guidelines may be amended from time to time, in the sole and absolute discretion of Pink Sheets, with or without notice.
