It also exposes our company to clients of firms that do not presently allow their representatives to recommend our common stock. Finally, a listing on the OTCBB will provide a greater opportunity for institutions to become involved in ALNS,” said William King, CEO. “In addition, our previously announced audit work is nearly complete and we should be announcing the latest quarter financials shortly after that.” Continue reading “Alentus Engages Vincent & Rees for Uplisting” »
