Cardax Voluntarily Suspends SEC Reporting Obligations
Expected savings to support core business strategies
HONOLULU, Aug. 11, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Cardax, Inc. (OTCQB:CDXI) announced today the filing of a Form 15 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") to voluntarily suspend its reporting obligations under Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act").
The Board of Directors determined after careful consideration that this action is expected to be in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders, as it should reduce legal and accounting expenses and allow for the reallocation of employee time to advancing core business strategies.
The Company's obligation to file periodic and current reports with the SEC, including Forms 10-K, 10-Q, and 8-K, will be immediately suspended upon filing the Form 15.
Cardax common stock is currently quoted on the OTCQB, but following suspension of Exchange Act reporting, the Company anticipates its common stock will be quoted on the OTC Pink Open Market (the "Pink Sheets"), although it can give no assurance that any broker will continue to make a market in the stock.
David G. Watumull, the Company's CEO, commented: "After weighing our options, we are voluntarily suspending our reporting obligations to make more efficient use of the Company's resources. The expected savings in legal fees, accounting costs, and management time should help us execute our core business strategies."
