Cyplasin Biomedical Announces migration to OTC Link Exchange

EDMONTON, March 7 /PRNewswire/ - Cyplasin Biomedical Ltd.,(OTCQB: CPBM) (Frankfurt XYI1:FRA) is a product-oriented, specialty pharmaceutical company focused on developing products for the multi-billion dollar hepatitis C virus (HCV) market announced its shares are now being exclusively quoted on OTC Markets Group's OTC Link™ platform.

This change was not caused by any action or inaction by Cyplasin, which continues to be in full compliance with all of its U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) reporting requirements.  OTC Link is the world's largest interdealer quotation system for broker-dealers. Launched in 2010, OTCQB® was created to allow investors to easily identify U.S. reporting OTC companies.

OTCQB is the 2nd highest tier of the OTC marketplace, classified by development-stage companies that are current in their reporting obligations to the SEC or U.S. banking or insurance regulator. The platform supports an open network of competing broker-dealers that provide investors with the best prices in more than 10,000 OTC securities. In 2010 alone, securities on OTC Link traded over $144 billion in dollar volume, making it the third largest U.S. equity trading venue after NASDAQ and the New York Stock Exchange.

According to otcmarkets.com, in the past 30 calendar days, there have been 837 publicly traded companies that have moved from being dually quoted (OTCBB and OTC Link) to being quoted exclusively on the OTC Link platform.  However during the transition, some financial Web sites may report Cyplasin Biomedical under the symbol (CPBM.PK) which is not correct.

There are three tiers in the OTC Marketplace.  The first tier is OTCQX and is for companies that have SEC reporting requirements and that meet certain asset/financial standards.  The second tier is OTCQB and is where Cyplasin currently trades.  Companies within this tier do not meet the higher asset and other listing requirements of the first tier; but still have full SEC reporting obligations. In order to maintain the OTCQX or OTCQB level a company must always be current with its SEC reporting requirements.  The third tier is designated OTC Pink, which is the market for speculative trading.
