Alternative Reporting Standard:
Pink® Basic Disclosure Guidelines
Federal securities laws, such as Rules 10b-5 and 15c2-11 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”) as well as Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933 (“Securities Act”), and state Blue Sky laws, require issuers to provide current information to the public markets. With a view to facilitating compliance with these laws, OTC Markets Group has created these Pink Basic Disclosure Guidelines (“Guidelines”). These Guidelines set forth the disclosure obligations that make up the “Alternative Reporting Standard” for Pink companies. These Guidelines have been designed to encompass the “Catch All” information required in Rule 15c2-11, however they have not been reviewed by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission or any state securities regulator.
