VVC Applies for Trading on the OTCQB Market in the United States

TORONTO, March 28, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- VVC Exploration Corporation ("VVC" or the "Company") announces that it has made an application for the trading of its common shares on the OTCQB Venture Market (“OTCQB”) in the United States ("U.S."). The application is moving towards the final stages of the process, and we will continue to keep Shareholders informed on the progress in a timely basis.

The Company's common shares are listed on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol "VVC" and is current trading in the U.S. on the Pink Sheets under the symbol "VVCVF", having been upgraded from the Grey Market.

Management believes that a further upgrade to the OTCQB Market would represent a significant step towards our larger business goals and would provide additional liquidity to the VVC shares allowing U.S. investors easier trading options.

The OTCQB is a leading market for early-stage and developing U.S. and international operated by the OTC Markets Group Inc. For our application to be successful, VVC must be current in its reporting obligations, undergo a verification and management certification process, meet a minimum bid price test and other financial conditions. The OTCQB market is recognized by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission as an established public market, and will provide investors who cannot access trading on the TSX Venture Exchange with alternative access to VVC’s Shares through regulated U.S. broker-dealers.
