The OTCQB is a leading market for early-stage and developing U.S. and international companies. Recognized as an established public market by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and operated by OTC Markets Group, Inc., the OTCQB has helped companies build considerable shareholder value including enhanced liquidity and valuation. Investors may benefit from efficient trading through their preferred broker or financial advisor, transparent pricing with real-time quotes, and trusted disclosure that is made broadly available to broker-dealers and market data providers.

DTC is a subsidiary of the Depository Trust and Clearing Corporation, a United States company that manages the electronic clearing and settlement of publicly traded companies. DTC Eligibility incorporates an electronic method of clearing securities that speeds the receipt of stock and cash, and thus accelerates the settlement process for certain investors. DTC Eligibility simplifies the process of trading and transferring SAGA shares between brokerages in the United States.

This is an important milestone towards broadening our market presence across the United States as we engage with this significant shareholder audience.

DTC eligibility allows current and prospective shareholders of SAGA a reliable, cost-efficient, and timely method for clearing and settlement of our common shares."
