Vejii Announces Commencement of Trading on
OTCQB Market and Provides Update on DTC
Eligibility
VANCOUVER BC, January 21, 2022 -- InvestorsHub NewsWire
-- Vejii
Holdings Ltd. (CSE:VEJI) (OTC: VEJIF) ("the Company'' or "Vejii"), a
North American online marketplace for plant-based and sustainable
products, is pleased to announce that the Company's common shares
(the "Common Shares") will begin trading on the OTCQB market (the
"OTCQB") effective as of January 21, 2022 under the symbol "VEJIF".
The Common Shares will continue to trade on the Canadian Securities
Exchange (the "CSE") under the symbol "VEJI".
Vejii has filed for
eligibility for electronic clearing and settlement of the Common
Shares through the Depository Trust Company ("DTC") in the United
States and expects to receive a response in the coming weeks. Vejii
will provide an update once it obtains eligibility from
DTC.
DTC is a subsidiary of the
Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation, and manages the
electronic clearing and settlement of publicly traded companies.
Securities that are eligible to be electronically cleared and
settled through the DTC are considered "DTC eligible." This
electronic method of clearing securities speeds up the receipt of
stock and cash, and thus accelerates the settlement process for
investors.
"We are very pleased to
have received approval from OTC Markets Group to trade our shares
on the OTCQB and we look forward to receiving DTC eligibility in
the near future as we start our US investor awareness campaign. We
launched Vejii in the US in the last year and have developed
significant US commercial operations through Shopvejii.com and our
recent acquisitions of VeganEssentiials.com and VEDGEco.com. We
view being able to trade on the OTCQB as an important aspect of
developing a following with US investors," said Kory Zelickson, CEO
of Vejii.
