Mina Mar Marketing Group Expands Long Term IR Services to NASDAQ Small Cap Issuers

MISSISSAUGA, Ontario, May 20, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Mina Mar Marketing Group Inc. (MMMG) is expanding its portfolio to include reporting issuers, specifically NASDAQ small cap-listed companies.

The listing criteria for the NASDAQ (National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations) market was changed on April 1, 2011. These new requirements are lower than in the past, which works in favor of smaller companies. This new revelation has provided a prime opportunity for MMMG to expand its reach.

There's a lot of potential in both the OTC Markets and NASDAQ. Securities for issuers with OTC Link (OTCQX, OTCQB and OTC Pink combined) traded more than $144 billion in volume in 2010, according to OTC Markets, making it the third largest American equity trading venue after NASDAQ and the New York Stock Exchange.

BX Venture Market

The Securities Exchange Commission has approved the BX Venture Market (www.bxventure.com), which is expected to launch later this year. This new listing market will provide companies that wouldn't otherwise qualify for an exchange listing the opportunity to list and trade their shares in a well-regulated and transparent environment. It's a new listing alternative that supports capital formation for early stage and smaller companies.

For companies already trading on OTC Markets or contemplating an initial exchange listing, or for those delisted from a national securities exchange, the BX Venture Market will provide a new and better regulated listing alternative. Listing standards for this market will require companies to comply with many of the same corporate governance requirements that are required for listing on other securities exchanges and to maintain basic quantitative standards.

MMMG is pleased to offer its global strategic communications, marketing and investor awareness services to an even larger group of investors via the OTCBB and NASDAQ markets.

MMMG delivers solutions that drive business results. Contact us today regarding your OTCBB- or NASDAQ-traded company.
