Margaux Resources Enhances Market Profile with DTC Eligibility on OTCQB
CALGARY, January 19, 2017 - Margaux Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:MRL, OTCQB:MARFF) ("Margaux" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that effective January 17, 2017 it has secured Depository Trust Company ("DTC") eligibility for its common shares listed on the OTCQB Market. "Being DTC Eligible makes us accessible to an even broader range of investors and is expected to assist with our goal of increasing the liquidity and convenience of trading our shares within the US." said Tyler Rice, President and CEO.
DTC eligible securities are eligible to be traded and settled electronically in the US, allowing faster and more efficient settlement of trades through broker-dealers. As previously announced by OTC Markets Group on December 1, 2016, Margaux's shares are qualified to trade in the U.S. on the OTCQB market under the symbol "MARFF." This electronic method of clearing securities accelerates the receipt of stock and cash, and thus streamlines the settlement process for investors and brokers, enabling the stock to be traded over a much wider selection of brokerage firms by coming into compliance with their requirements.
The DTC is one of the world's largest securities depositories. The DTC, founded in 1973 and based in New York City, is organized as a limited purpose trust company and provides safekeeping through electronic record keeping of securities balances, holding over thirty-five trillion dollars' worth of securities on deposit. While there is no requirement that any security be held at DTC to trade, many brokerage firms and issuers want to take advantage of the efficiencies and costs benefits that DTC offers. In contrast many stock exchanges require DTC eligibility prior to listing of a security.
