Los Angeles, CA, Jan. 17, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via NEWMEDIAWIRE -- VirTra, Inc., (“VirTra”) and Avalon GloboCare Corp. (“Avalon”), two client companies of Boustead Securities, LLC (Member: FINRA/SIPC) (“Boustead”), earned spots on the 2018 Uplist , highlighting fifty-eight companies that graduated from the OTC Markets to the NASDAQ or NYSE in 2018. VirTra made the list for its March 29, 2018 uplisting from the OTCQX to the NASDAQ Capital Market. Avalon uplisted from the OTCQB to the NASDAQ Capital Market on November 5, 2018.
VirTra, a global provider of training simulators for the law enforcement, military, educational and commercial markets, engaged Boustead as its NASDAQ sponsor and underwriter. VirTra produces realistic and highly effective virtual reality and simulator technology for global markets to train for judgmental use-of-force and de-escalation techniques.
Avalon, a leading global developer of cell-based technologies, similarly retained Boustead as its underwriter, financial advisor and NASDAQ sponsor for uplisting from the OTC Markets to a senior national exchange. Dr. David Jin, President and CEO of Avalon GloboCare, noted that the benefits of a national exchange listing include increasing global visibility and access to significant partners, while enhancing shareholder value. Dr. Jin commented, “We are rapidly advancing a variety of cell-based therapies, particularly within the field of CAR-T cell therapy, while leveraging our proprietary exosome technology platform and aggressively expanding within the regenerative medicine market. We look forward to driving value for shareholders in the months and years ahead.”
Avalon’s mission is to accelerate and develop innovative and transformative cell-based technologies. In choosing to uplist to NASDAQ, Avalon engaged Boustead because of the investment bank’s track record and extensive relationships with investors in both the U.S. and Asia and highly experienced and reputable executive team.
“Boustead is proud to have assisted both Avalon and VirTra to uplist to NASDAQ in 2018. We look forward to seeing the growth and progress that these companies can achieve in 2019 and beyond, with the momentum provided by increased access to public investors,” commented Keith Moore, CEO of Boustead Securities.
