Medbox, Inc. Moving to Fully Reporting Status With SEC

HOLLYWOOD, Calif., Aug. 27, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Medbox, Inc. (Pinksheets: MDBX) (www.medboxinc.com) announced today that it is taking steps to become a fully reporting company in order to achieve an upgrade to NASDAQ's OTC Bulletin Board, and to provide shareholders with more detailed information on a quarterly and annual basis.

"Achieving fully reporting status is a key milestone and important event to move ahead in regards to attracting new investment and funding on-going production," Dr. Bruce Bedrick, CEO of Medbox stated. "Furthermore, the ability to uplist our shares and move to more visible marketplaces is achievable with these filings."

The company has completed a preliminary audit and is preparing the necessary forms to become recognized as a fully reporting company beginning in First Quarter, 2013.

"Our entire company and the products and services we offer revolve around transparent business operations. Thus, it is fitting that we honor that policy of transparency and provide complete disclosure of our financials to the public markets. This process is therefore mandatory for us if we are to achieve our goals," Bedrick stated. "I believe that a listing on the OTCBB will enhance investor interest and confidence, lower our cost of capital, and make our stock more attractive to institutional investors. As the Company continues to progress toward this listing we will update our shareholders accordingly."
