TORONTO, ON, Nov. 07, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — via NEWMEDIAWIRE – Tree of Knowledge International Corp. (“Tree of Knowledge”) (CSE:TOKI) (OTC:TOKIF) has received approval from the Depository Trust Company (DTC), making its shares DTC eligible. In addition, the company’s common shares have been approved for trading on the OTCQB effective immediately under the symbol TOKIF.
DTC provides depository and book entry services, along with a settlement system for equities in the United States and across the globe. The organization is a member of the U.S. Federal Reserve System and a registered clearing agency with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. In addition, major U.S. stock exchanges, including Nasdaq and NYSE, require DTC eligibility to be listed on the respective exchanges. Shares can now be purchased through online brokers with DTC eligibility. The OTCQX offers established companies the advantages of being publicly traded in the U.S. with lower cost and complexity than a U.S. exchange listing. Investors benefit from convenient trading through their preferred broker or financial advisor, transparent pricing with real-time quotes, and trusted disclosure that is made broadly available to broker-dealers and market data providers. To qualify for the OTCQX market, companies must meet high financial standards, follow best practice corporate governance, demonstrate compliance with U.S. securities laws and meet certain other requirements.

“Receiving DTC eligibility is a major step for Tree of Knowledge,” stated CEO Michael Caridi. “This will allow us to expand our investor base and reach new investors in the US market with our business. This also will create opportunities for successful forward movement of our strategic plan.”
