Organto Foods starts trading on OTCQX

2025-11-10 12:33 ET - News Release

Mr. Steve Bromley reports

ORGANTO FOODS BEGINS TRADING ON OTCQX(R) BEST MARKET IN THE UNITED STATES

Organto Foods Inc. 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 United States capital markets.

Key highlights and benefits of OTCQX market participation

  • Higher-tier visibility and 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 the United States and global investors that Organto adheres to enhanced benchmarks for transparency and market access.
  • Improved liquidity and 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 and U.S. clearing access: Organto's shares remain eligible for clearance and settlement via the Depository Trust & Clearing Corp. (DTC), ensuring efficient U.S. market operations.
  • Support for strategic growth and 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 chief executive officer 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."

Grant of stock options

The company has granted stock options exercisable to acquire up to 200,000 common shares to employees of the company at a price of 67 cents per common share, expiring on Oct. 24, 2030. Of the options granted, 20 per cent will vest immediately and 20 per cent on each anniversary thereafter.

Marketing update

Organto has retained Machai Capital Inc., a marketing, advertising and public awareness firm having an office at 101-17565 58th Ave., Surrey, B.C., to provide the company with a range of digital marketing services. Suneal Sandhu is the president and sole owner of Machai and can be reached at 604-375-0084. Machai will provide digital marketing services with branding, content and data optimization to assist the company in creating in-depth marketing campaigns, tracking, organizing and executing the services through search engine optimization (SEO), search engine marketing (SEM), lead generation, digital marketing, social media marketing, e-mail marketing and brand marketing. The services will be conducted in accordance with the applicable TSX Venture Exchange policies. The marketing campaign will be launched on Nov. 10, 2025, and continue through November, 2026, pursuant to which Machai will receive a base fee of $200,000 plus GST. Machai is arm's length to the company and has no other relationship with the company other than under this marketing agreement. The marketing agreement is subject to TSX-V approval.

The company has also issued 200,000 stock options to Machai at a price of 58 cents, which will vest over one year and expire two years from the date of grant.
