HONG KONG--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Global leader in cordless Professional Tools, DIY Tools, and Outdoor Power Equipment, Techtronic Industries Co. Ltd. (“TTI” or the “Group”) (stock code: 669, OTCQX: TTNDY, TTNDF) is pleased to announce it has qualified to trade on the OTCQX Best Market, previously trading on the PINK market. TTI’s ordinary shares will continue to trade on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (SEHK) under the stock code: 669.

Techtronic Industries Co. Ltd. begins trading its American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) on May 16 on the OTCQX Market under the symbols “TTNDY” (5:1 ordinary) and “TTNDF” (1:1 ordinary). U.S. investors can find current financial disclosure and Real-Time Level 2 quotes for the company on www.otcmarkets.com.

Upgrading to the OTCQX Market is an important step for companies seeking to provide transparent trading for their U.S. investors. For companies listed on a qualified international exchange, streamlined market standards enable them to utilize their home market reporting to make their information available in the U.S. According to OTC Markets, companies must meet high financial standards, follow best practice corporate governance, and demonstrate compliance with applicable securities laws to qualify.

Mr. Joseph Galli, CEO of TTI, commented, “We are delighted to begin trading on the OTCQX market. Hong Kong remains the domicile of TTI’s primary exchange listing, but this new development will add greater liquidity to both our ordinary shares and our ADR program, while making the stock more accessible to a broader global investment community.”
