iSIGN Media Solutions Inc. ("iSIGN" or "Company") (TSX VENTURE:ISD), a leading provider of interactive mobile advertising solutions that serves advertisers, manufacturers, retailers and advertising agencies throughout North America, provided an update today on its plans to begin trading in the U.S. Announcing a commencement date of March 1, 2012, the company intends to trade on the over-the-counter OTCQX marketplace exchange within 45 days.
In December 2011, iSIGN announced an agreement with Ellenoff Grossman & Schole LLP to act as the company's agent in obtaining a listing on the OTCQX marketplace in the U.S. The move was planned to make it easier for U.S.-based investors to trade iSIGN stock and to diversify the company's shareholder base.
"We're excited about the prospect of trading in the OTCQX marketplace," said Alex Romanov, iSIGN's Chief Executive Officer. "U.S. markets tend to respond very favorably to the type of innovative technology iSIGN offers, and all indications are that we can expect to trade at a level of three to five times our current Canadian exchange value."
iSIGN has made other preparations for expanding the company's base of operations in the U.S. The company's office in Tampa, Florida will drive the new market expansion. In addition, iSIGN recently announced its selection of SSPR as its public relations agency of record to spearhead brand awareness and media outreach initiatives.
"Our fantastic team in Tampa has already made great strides in building the U.S. market," Romanov added. "The partnership with SSPR, a highly regarded agency that has deep expertise in the technology and media space and experience as the agency of record for one of the largest daily coupon sites in the world, will support our efforts to grow our customer reach and increase U.S. trading levels."
