Seminar on Global Trends in the Capital Markets and Strategies for Accessing U.S. Investors to Be Held at the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange
By Ccg Investor Relations, PRNEMonday, January 25, 2010
The Benefits of a Level 1 ADR and an OTCQX listing to be discussed
TEL AVIV, Isreal, January 26 - CCG Investor Relations, (www.ccgir.com) a leading global investor
relations firm, and Gelbart Kahana, Israel's largest investor relations firm,
will host a seminar at the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange on January 28, 2010 to
discuss global trends in the capital markets and how Tel Aviv listed
companies can gain access to U.S. investors and diversify their shareholder
base.
"Now is an excellent time for some of Israeli's finest emerging and
established companies to consider broadening their exposure to U.S.
institutional and retail investors," said Crocker Coulson, President of CCG
Investor Relations. "Many compelling investment stories have yet to be told
to U.S. investor's with an appetite for companies with solid management teams
and attractive growth stories. There is considerable evidence that having an
OTCQX ADR significantly improves companies' liquidity and value, while
opening up a new realm of U.S. retail and institutional capital to invest
into their stock."
Topics of discussion include the valuation and performance trends of
U.S.-listed Israeli companies and an introduction to the benefits of a Level
1 ADR traded on OTCQX (www.otcqx.com), the premier tier of the OTC
market. OTCQX provides international companies a visible cross-listing in the
U.S. without the duplicative regulatory burdens of a traditional U.S.
exchange listing.
