Marks Strategic U.S. Capital Markets Milestone
Vancouver, BC, Canada and Breda, Netherlands, November 10, 2025 – Organto Foods Inc. (TSX-V: OGO, OTCQX: OGOFF, FSE: OGF0) (“Organto” or the “Company”), is pleased to announce that it has been approved to trade on the OTCQX® Best Market in the United States, an upgrade from its previous placement on the OTCQB® Venture Market. This advancement reflects Organto’s commitment to extensive disclosure and corporate governance practices, and the Company’s intention to grow its presence in U.S. capital markets.
Key Highlights & Benefits of OTCQX Market Participation
- Higher-Tier Visibility & Credibility: OTCQX is the highest tier of the OTC Markets Group, and qualifying companies must meet rigorous standards regarding audited financials, timely disclosures, and corporate governance. Trading on OTCQX signals to U.S. and global investors that Organto adheres to enhanced benchmarks for transparency and market access.
- Improved Liquidity & Investor Reach: Trading on OTCQX will enable Organto to reach a broader investor universe (including U.S. institutional investors) and may enhance trading liquidity and market-maker participation.
- Maintained DTC Eligibility & U.S. Clearing Access: Organto’s shares remain eligible for clearance and settlement via the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTC), ensuring efficient U.S. market operations.
- Support for Strategic Growth & Capital Raising Initiatives: The upgraded market designation provides the Company with a more robust platform for future capital raises, strategic partnerships, and increased visibility in the U.S. marketplace.
Steve Bromley, Co-Chair and CEO of Organto, commented: “Upgrading to the OTCQX is an important milestone for Organto and our shareholders. It reflects the significant progress we’ve made in recent months in restructuring our operations, enhancing our financial position and positioning our platform for exciting future growth, while at the same time building on our disclosure and governance practices. With this new upgrade, combined with our TSX-V and FSE trading, we believe we are better positioned to expand our investor base, enhance liquidity, and accelerate execution of our growth strategy in the healthy foods sector.”
