Tom Attenborough is absolutely correct. The facts are that listing on an exchange in the United States can open a company up to various levels of litigation risk (such as Sarbanes-Oxley) which brings with it potentially crippling costs. There is however, an alternative where issuers can get the best of their home market by maintaining their primary listing and benefiting from a less litigious environment while also accessing the depth of the U.S. capital markets. This is achieved by leveraging the SEC foreign private issuer exemption 12g3-2(b) utilised by UK household names including Sainsbury's, EasyJet, Marks & Spencer, Tate & Lyle, Imperial Brands, Britvic and Kingfisher. #listlocaltradeglobal #otcqx #otcqb OTC Markets Group
