Consistent with Long-Term Strategic Plan, Uplisting Will Increase Capital Market Visibility and Enhance Access to Growth Capital
Costa Mesa, California, Dec. 07, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Clean Energy Technologies, Inc. (OTCQB:CETY) ("CETY" or the "Company") a clean energy company offering products and solutions in the renewable and energy efficiency markets announced today that the Company has initiated necessary actions to list its shares on the NASDAQ Stock Market ("NASDAQ") under the anticipated symbol "CETY."
"The Board of Directors and management are pleased to announced plans to uplist our shares to the NASDAQ Stock Market," said Kam Mahdi, CEO of Clean Energy Technologies. "We believe the uplisting will provide several key strategic benefits that will serve the best interest of all our shareholders at a time when the Company is poised for growth."
By up-listing to NASDAQ, the Company believes it will gain visibility in the capital markets and allow for increased sponsorship from worldwide institutional investors as well as increased liquidity in the trading volume in our stock. By improving capital market access for existing and prospective investors and increasing the ability to raise the capital to drive growth, the move to a national market will bring significant value to the Company. The requirements necessary to complete the uplisting include, but not limited to, the following:
- Concurrent Equity Financing to Strengthen the Balance Sheet
The Company must have sufficient cash to support operations and meet the minimum stockholders' equity requirement as a condition of the uplisting. Raising the required capital concurrently will significantly improve the strength of the Company's balance sheet.
- Reverse Stock Split
In order to meet the minimum trading price and other requirements necessary for listing on a national exchange, a reverse split will be affected. This split combined with the planned uplisting should make CETY's stock more attractive to investors that may have been prohibited from purchasing them on lower exchanges.
"This is an historic and important time at the Company. I believe that we are positioned to accelerate revenue opportunities on multiple fronts, and this move to the NASDAQ is a key element of the overall growth strategy," Mahdi went on to say.
