Cabinet Grow, Inc. Announces DTC Eligibility and Up-Listing Approval to OTCQB Marketplace
Upgrades Financial and Corporate Disclosures; Management Reiterates Debt Elimination Strategy
IRVINE, CA / ACCESSWIRE / August 27, 2015 / Cabinet Grow(R). (PINKSHEETS:CBNT), a developer and marketer of cabinet-based horticultural systems, announced the Company has secured eligibility by The Depository Trust Company (DTC) for its shares, effective August 26, 2015. Cabinet Grow also announced the Company has been approved to be up-listed to the OTCQB(R) Venture Marketplace and reiterated its strategy to be debt free in 90 days. The Company, based in Irvine, Calif., makes cabinet-based horticultural systems. The self-contained design and construction of the hydroponic and soil-based grow cabinets makes the process of home growing automated and simplified.
“We are pleased to announce that we have obtained DTC eligibility, while at the same time being up-listed to the OTCQB Marketplace,” said Sam May, chief executive officer of Cabinet Grow, Inc. “Cabinet Grow is committed to the high level of financial and corporate disclosure that is required for this listing category, and this is demonstrated in our rapid up-list to the OTCQB,” May said. “These accomplishments further validate our continued commitment to our shareholders and we believe that trading on the OTCQB and being DTC eligible will enhance trading liquidity and broaden our shareholder base as we continue to escalate market adoption of our horticulture products, solutions and related verticals.”
In addition, Cabinet Grow management has reiterated its strategy to eliminate corporate debt prior to year-end. The Company has finalized an agreement with its primary lender which limits debt conversions without the Company’s consent for 90 days following the agreement effective date and implements a maximum of $50,000 of debt conversions per month for three months beginning on day 91. There are no conversions in the 90 ninety days after effective date without Company approval.
“These milestones open the doors to institutional investors and market makers who were not previously able to buy and sell shares of our Company. Electronic trading is the standard in today’s financial markets, and becoming DTC-eligible greatly simplifies the process of trading and exchanging our common stock. Meeting the increased compliance and information requirements of OTCQB provides our investors greater confidence in the information disclosed by the Company and ensures our commitment to accountability and transparency. We will continue working towards our goals of up-listing in the future to a stock exchange such as the NASDAQ. Our ability to set higher goals and standards as a company is a direct result of sustained guidance from trusted contractors and advisors such as; VStock Transfer Agents, Legal and Compliance, Brooks and Associates, and Barry Hollander our CFO. As a public company, we rely heavily on these relationships and are optimistic we can build a strong company culture rich with the same integrity and courage demonstrated by our partners that will continue to serve our shareholders for years to come,” May added.
