Market Information
There is currently no public trading market for our common stock and no such market may ever develop. While we intend to seek and obtain quotation of our common stock for trading on the OTC Markets, there is no assurance that our application will be approved. An application for quotation on the OTC Markets must be submitted by one or more market makers who:
●
are approved by FINRA;
●
who agree to sponsor the security; and
●
who demonstrate compliance with SEC Rule 15(c)2-11 before initiating a quote in a security on the OTC Markets.
In order for a security to be eligible for quotation by a market maker on the OTC Markets, we will be required to meet a ($0.01) bid price test, provide information based on our reporting standard (SEC Reporting, Bank Reporting or International Reporting), and submit an annual OTC Markets Certification signed by our Chief Executive Officer or Chief Financial Officer.
We can provide no assurance that our common stock ever will be traded on the OTC Markets or, if traded, that a public market will materialize.
Holders
As of March 24, 2020, we had 53 record holders and 8,095,004 shares of common stock issued and outstanding.
Dividends
We have never declared or paid cash dividends on our capital stock. We currently intend to retain all available funds and any future earnings for use in the operation and expansion of our business and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.
