(COMTEX) B: Cerro Dorado, Inc. Announces Trading Symbol Change in Acc B: Cerro Dorado, Inc. Announces Trading Symbol Change in Accordance With Phase-In Schedule for New Amendment to Rule SALT LAKE CITY, May 17, 2000 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- On January 4, 1999, the NASD obtained approval form the SEC to limit quotations on the OTC/BB to the securities of companies that report their current financial information to the SEC, pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act of 1934. The NASD Eligibility Rule, designated Rule 6530, provides for a phase-in period for companies quoted on the OTC/BB as of January 4, 1999. The phase-in period for all companies will be between July 1999 and June 2000. The phase-in is being done on an alphabetical basis. The phase-in date is set for January 12, 2000 under amended NASD Eligibility Rule 6530. The Company is nearing completion of its audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1999. Upon issuance of the audited financial statement, the Company intends to promptly file a Form 10-SB with the Securities and Exchange Commission through the SEC's Electronic Data Gathering analysis and Retrieval (EDGAR) system to register its common shares under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act of 1934. Following the effective date of the registration, the Company will become a reporting issuer under Section 13 of the Exchange Act and will be eligible for continued trading on the OTC/BB. Inasmuch as the SEC review of the Form 10-SB will be conducted over a period of a few months, the Company shares will be traded on the OTC/BB until May 19, 2000 and thereafter on the NQB electronic "pink sheets" until such time as SEC review of the Form 10-SB filing is completed and trading is resumed on the OTC/BB. Interested persons should note that the Company's stock-trading symbol, OTC/BB CDCH, had an "E" appended to its trading symbol on or about April 19, 2000 which will continue on their symbol through May 19, 2000, OTC/BB CDCHE. Once the Company begins trading on the NQB electronic "pink sheets" after May 19, 2000, and when the shares resume trading on the OTC/BB, the trading symbol for the Company's shares will resume as CDCH.
