ROCHESTER, N.Y., May 31, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Natcore Technology Inc. (TSX-V: NXT; OTCQB: NTCXF; Frankfurt: 8NT) has reached its first anniversary as a fully reporting issuer with the U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission.

Natcore initially became a fully reporting company after filing an SEC Form F-1 Registration Statement, effective as of May 26, 2015.  The company's recent filing of Form 20-F brings it current with all of its required filings.

"This anniversary brings benefits to Natcore's shareholders, particularly those residing in the U.S.," says Tom Scarpa, Natcore's Senior Vice President/Investor Relations. "Probably the most tangible of these is the reduced holding period."

Under SEC rule 144, the holding period for American participants in a private placement was twelve months. Now that Natcore has reached its one-year anniversary as a fully reporting issuer, that holding period is reduced to six months. For Canadian participants, the holding period is unchanged at four months.

"There is a broader benefit as well," says Scarpa. "This milestone should strengthen investor confidence in the company, both among private and institutional investors."

Becoming a fully reporting issuer in the U.S. significantly expanded Natcore's eligibility for both analyst coverage and investor interest. Many institutional investors are unable to acquire the securities of a company that is not fully reporting with the SEC. By becoming fully reporting, Natcore created new opportunities for acquisition of their securities by institutional investors.
