VANCOUVER, British Columbia, June 13, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Crop Infrastructure Corp. (CSE:CROP) (OTCMKTS:CRXPF) (“Crop” or the “Company”) announces that it has secured The Depository Trust Company (DTC) eligibility for its shares traded in the United States under the symbol CRXPF. The Company’s common shares traded on the OTC Market in the United States, under the symbol “CRXPF” are Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) eligible, effective June 12, 2018. The DTC will facilitate electronic settlement of transfers of its common shares in the United States.
Michael Yorke, CEO of Crop states: “Crop is registering its shares with DTC as a fundamental step towards establishing the company with the American investment community. The DTC’s electronic settlement of our shares is critical to having an effective market. Our goal is to graduate to a more senior exchange in the future, and expand our business endeavors globally.”
About DTC
The DTC is a subsidiary of the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation and manages the electronic clearing and settlement of publicly traded companies. Securities that are eligible to be electronically cleared and settled through the DTC are considered “DTC eligible.” This electronic method of clearing securities speeds up the receipt of stock and cash, and thus accelerates the settlement process for investors and brokers. Securities that are not DTC-eligible are often not accepted for trading at many brokerages due to the amount of paperwork and manpower required to execute and settle trades, thus making it more difficult for a significant percentage of investors to access the shares. Additionally companies that are approved for DTC electronic transfers often experience higher trading volumes in their stock given the additional accessibility and availability of shares for trading.

This news release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any of the securities described herein in the United States. The securities described herein have not been registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “U.S. Securities Act”), or any state securities law and may not be offered or sold in the “United States”, as such term is defined in Regulation S promulgated under the U.S. Securities Act, unless registered under the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or an exemption from such registration requirements is available.
The securities of the Company are considered highly speculative due to the nature of the Company’s business. The Company is indirectly involved through its business in both the medical and recreational cannabis industry in the United State where local state law permits such activities. As a result of the conflicting views between state legislatures and the federal government regarding cannabis, investments in cannabis businesses in the United States are subject to inconsistent legislation and regulation and therefore there are risks of federal government enforcement. Marijuana-related practices or activities, including the cultivation, possession or distribution of marijuana, are illegal under U.S. federal law.

While such estimates and assumptions are considered reasonable by the management of the Company, they are inherently subject to significant business, economic, competitive and regulatory uncertainties and risks.
