OTCQX and OTCQB Markets for Nordic Issuers
The OTCQX and the OTCQB markets offer Nordic and other foreign companies an alternative to traditional stock exchange listings in the United States. Non-US issuers that
qualify for an exemption from the registration and reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act pursuant to Rule 12g3-2(b) (or are not otherwise required to register a class of securities under the Act);
have their domestic securities listed on a qualified foreign stock exchange such as Nasdaq Copenhagen or the Nordic Growth Market; and
meet certain additional requirements;
can have their securities traded on the OTCQX or the OTCQB markets, without having to register or report to the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
Nordic issuers joining OTCQX will provide investors in the United States access to invest and trade in their equity securities in USD while they are listed domestically in e.g. Denmark in DKK. OTCQX provides an effective alternative to a traditional listing on the New York Stock Exchange and significantly increases trading liquidity in the domestic securities by opening up the US markets.
