OTC Markets Adds Caveat Emptor Symbol to its Publication of Quotes on BITCF
VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / April, 19, 2017 / First Bitcoin Capital Corp. (OTC PINK: BITCF), the most prolific cryptographic creator of tokens on the Bitcoin Blockchain, received notice from OTC Markets of unusual market activities in its common shares.
Skull and Bones
The Company received notice yesterday from OTC Markets that the publication of quotations in BITCF will include a caveat emptor due to:
“Public Interest Concern – OTC Markets Group has determined that there is a public interest concern regarding the security. There is unusual or unexplained trading activity in your security.”
“The Caveat Emptor symbol (a Skull and Crossbones icon) will remain on your company profile until OTC Markets Group believes there is no longer a public interest concern. The Company must continue to qualify for OTC Pink Current Information or OTCQB by doing the following:
“Non-SEC Reporting companies must use the OTC
Disclosure and News Service to make adequate current information available pursuant to the OTC Pink Basic Disclosure Guidelines and publish an Attorney Letter pursuant to the Attorney Letter Guidelines. The attorney letter must include responses to Exhibit B, Items 14 & 15. Non-SEC Reporting companies must also verify their company profile on www.otcmarkets.com.”
The Company recognizes that the demand for its shares has been over exuberant, which brought about the needed warning to investors. We believe this exuberance has been caused due to the markets recognizing that BITCF is emerging as the foremost public company in the Bitcoin space compounded by the upward momentum in the cryptocurrency’s growing popularity.
According to a call to OTC Markets, filing an opinion letter from SEC counsel will not immediately remove the warning icon as it will remain for at least 30 days as a matter of policy, however, the company has retained competent SEC counsel and expects to file the required opinion letter this week and meet all of other OTC Markets’ disclosure and compliance requirements.
