“We are pleased to welcome AmeriCann to the OTCQX marketplace,” said R. Cromwell Coulson, President and CEO of OTC Markets Group. “AmeriCann joins the growing number of established U.S. companies that have chosen OTCQX to provide their shareholders transparent trading and convenient access to their news and financial disclosure.”

AmeriCann provides a wide range of essential services to the compassionate medical marijuana industry. As more states approve and regulate cannabis, the company plans to support the industry’s expansion by providing its expertise and capital, with a focus on cultivation and processing facilities.
The company recently purchased a 5 acre parcel of land for $2,250,000 million to develop the Denver Cannabis Center. Plans for this facility include the construction of a 126,000 square foot facility that would include greenhouse and indoor cultivation areas that will be sold to licensed cannabis operators. Additionally, the company has provided $1,000,000 in capital to existing medical cannabis entrepreneurs in Colorado for the expansion of their operations.
Tim Keogh, CEO of AmeriCann stated, “AmeriCann’s management team members have had extensive first-hand experience with compassionate medical marijuana programs for many years. The cost to build the infrastructure to serve new medical marijuana patients is estimated in the billions of dollars. Much of the funding and necessary expertise for this growth will come from publicly traded companies, such as AmeriCann.”
Mr. Keogh added, “To support this important emerging industry, it is important that financially solid public companies trade on quality marketplaces such as OTCQX. The high standards for marketplace integrity and transparency that the OTCQX marketplace provides investors are particularly important for the medical cannabis industry.”
