(OTCQX: VAPO), a global medical technology company specializing in the development and commercialization of its proprietary Vapotherm high-velocity therapy® products for patients of all ages experiencing respiratory distress, has qualified to trade on the OTCQX® Best Market. Vapotherm, Inc. voluntarily transferred to OTCQX from the New York Stock Exchange.
Vapotherm, Inc. begins trading today on OTCQX under the symbol “VAPO.” U.S. investors can find current financial disclosure and Real-Time Level 2 quotes for the company on www.otcmarkets.com.
Trading on the OTCQX Market offers companies efficient, cost-effective access to the U.S. capital markets. Streamlined market requirements for OTCQX are designed to help companies lower the cost and complexity of being publicly traded, while providing transparent trading for their investors. To qualify for OTCQX, companies must meet high financial standards, follow best practice corporate governance, and demonstrate compliance with applicable securities laws.
Commenting on the move to OTCQX, Joseph Army, Vapotherm’s CEO, stated, “We have been evaluating our options for some time and have concluded that, for Vapotherm, the cost of an NYSE listing, and the management attention required to maintain compliance with NYSE listing standards, outweighs the benefits of trading on that exchange. Eliminating the effort required to maintain compliance with NYSE size and price standards will better enable us to focus on our customers, our business, and the patients whose lives are enhanced as a result of our work.
