VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / December 9, 2019 / Cielo Waste Solutions Corp. (CSE:CMC)(OTCQB:CEIWF) ("Cielo" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that the Company has been approved to trade on the OTCQB Venture Market ("OTCQB"), a United States trading platform that is operated by the OTC Markets Group in New York. The Company will trade on the OTCQB under symbol "CEIWF" and the Company's common shares will continue to trade on the Canadian Securities Exchange under the symbol "CMC".
"We anticipate that in addition to our CSE listing, trading on the OTCQB will raise our visibility within the U.S. investment community and will help us to broaden our shareholder base by facilitating easier access for U.S. investors to acquire shares in Cielo," said Mr. Don Allan, President and CEO. The Company is in the process of changing its trading symbol and obtaining DTC eligibility, which is expected to occur in the near future.
The OTCQB is recognized as an Established Public Market by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and is a leading market for U.S. and international companies in the entrepreneurial and development stage. To be eligible, companies must be current in their financial reporting, pass a minimum bid price test, and undergo an annual company verification and management certification process. The OTCQB quality standards provide a strong baseline of transparency, as well as the technology and regulation to improve the information and trading experience for investors. As a verified market with efficient access for U.S. investors, OTCQB helps companies build shareholder value with a goal of enhancing liquidity and achieving a fair valuation.
OTC Markets Group is an American financial market providing price and liquidity information for roughly 10,000 over-the-counter securities. The group has its headquarters in New York City. OTC-traded securities are organized into three markets to inform investors of opportunities and risks: OTCQX, OTCQB and Pink. Cielo has now been approved to initially trade on the OTCQB. This is a significant milestone for the Company, which we believe should provide current shareholders and prospective investors with greater access and liquidity.
Operational Update:
On November 28th, Cielo announced that it had entered into a Supply of Services Agreement with Canadian Pacific (TSX: CP) (NYSE: CP) ("Agreement"). The Agreement entitles Cielo to receive scrap railway ties from CP to use as feedstock in the production of high-grade renewable fuels, in one of its future follow-on waste to energy green refineries. Over the past approximately 18 months, Cielo has worked with CP to obtain a number of scrap railway ties for due diligence testing and has consistently achieved positive preliminary results.
Since the Grand Opening of Cielo's refinery in Aldersyde, Alberta ("Aldersyde Refinery"), the Company has made multiple design changes to enhance its operations.
Don Allan stated, "We understand that the delays in getting the Aldersyde Refinery operating on a continuous flow basis has been frustrating for our stakeholders however, during this time, we have made significant design changes that we are confident will result in even greater results than we'd originally believed were achievable. In addition, we are in the process of finalizing the site selection for our joint venture refineries with Renewable U Energy and Seymour Capital. Having the six-year Services Supply Agreement now in place with CP has spurred on other feedstock suppliers into accelerating their discussions with Cielo. We are also focused on increasing our shareholder base and providing additional liquidity for current and prospective investors. We believe Cielo's dual listing in the U.S. should assist in this regard. These are very exciting times for Cielo as we move ever closer to revenue and advancing the building of our first five joint venture refineries moving forward."
