Can an issuer reserve a symbol? ( otcbb.com ) No, symbols may not be reserved for OTC securities. A symbol preference can be requested on the Form 211. If a requested symbol is not reserved for use on Nasdaq or restricted, we will advise the issuer that the symbol is available at that time, but that we reserve the 'right' to change their symbol should a Nasdaq applicant want to use it. There can be no guarantee that the OTC issuer will retain that symbol indefinitely. What are the listing requirements for the OTCBB? ( otcbb.com ) Because the OTCBB is a quotation service for NASD Market Makers, not an issuer listing service or securities exchange, there are no quantative listing requirements that must be met by an OTCBB issuer. However, new Eligiblity Requirements are in effect for both foreign and domestic issuers. Effective April 1, 1998, all foreign issues and ADRs must be registered with the Securities & Exchange Commission (SEC) pursuant to Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Effective January 4, 1999, domestic issues quoted on the OTCBB are limited to the following securities: * securities of issuers that make current filings pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act ("Act"); * securities of depository institutions that are not required to make filings under the Act, but file publicly available reports with their apropriate regulatory authorities; securities of registered closed-end investment companies; and securities of insurance companies that are exempt from registration under Section 12(g)(2)(G) of the Act. OTCBB issuers do not need to send copies of the quarterly or annual filings to either the NASD, The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. or the OTCBB. From: otcbb.com
