Toronto, Ontario–(Newsfile Corp. – August 4, 2022) – SPARQ Corp. (TSXV: SPRQ) (OTCQX: SPRQF) (the “Company“) is pleased to announce that, effective as of August 4, 2022, the Company’s common shares commenced trading on the OTCQX® Best Market (“OTCQX“) under the symbol “SPRQF”. The Company’s common shares will continue to trade on the TSX Venture Exchange as its primary listing under the symbol “SPRQ”.

OTCQX provides value and convenience to U.S. investors, brokers and institutions seeking to trade SPRQF. OTCQX is OTC Markets Group’s premier market for established, investor-focused U.S. and international companies. To be eligible, companies must meet high financial standards, follow best practice corporate governance, demonstrate compliance with U.S. securities laws, be current in their disclosure, and have a professional third-party sponsor introduction.

In addition, the Company also announced that its common shares are now eligible for electronic clearance and settlement through the Depository Trust Company (“DTC“). DTC eligibility accelerates and simplifies the settlement of trades for U.S. investors and brokers, enabling the common shares to be traded over a wider range of brokerage firms. The Company expects that securing DTC eligibility, in tandem with trading on OTCQX, will provide greater visibility and convenience of trading for U.S. investors.

Praveen Jain, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Obtaining a quotation on OTCQX and securing DTC eligibility represents an important milestone for the Company as we seek to grow our U.S. investor base by increasing liquidity and building awareness of SPARQ’s capital markets profile.”
