Elixinol Global Limited (ASX:EXL)

SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA, NSW, AUSTRALIA, September 18, 2018 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Elixinol Global Limited (ASX: EXL, OTCQX: ELLXF), an Australian listed company operating globally in the industrial hemp, dietary supplements and emerging medicinal cannabis sectors, is pleased to announce that it has commenced trading on the “OTCQX Best Market” in the United States under the symbol “ELLXF”.

Trading on the OTCQX underpins the Company’s strategy to increase awareness of Elixinol Global in the US and broaden its investor base in a market where consumer interest and demand for hemp-derived products is growing at a rapid rate.

Paul Benhaim, Elixinol Global’s CEO said, “We already have strong brand awareness in the US thanks to our subsidiary Elixinol USA. Listing on OTCQX will bring increased exposure for Elixinol Global as the parent-company and provide US-based investors with the opportunity to take part and invest in a company with exceptional growth and one that is well positioned to continue to lead the sector.”

He continued, “Trading on the OTCQX will also facilitate ease of trading for our US investors, in local currency and in local time.”

EXL’s listing on the OTCQX comes off the back of the Company’s 1H FY2018 half year results, which showed solid revenue growth (up 110% on 1H FY2017) and a maiden profit, making it the only ASX listed cannabis company to report a profit.

“Our growth strategies are set to be supported by major regulatory developments unfolding worldwide that will have a significant impact on the industry, including the pending US Farm Bill. If passed by the US government and signed by the president, industrial hemp will be categorised as an agricultural commodity and removed from the DEA’s list of schedule 1 drugs. This will facilitate further consumer demand from hemp-derived CBD products, and drive additional sales and marketing opportunities for Elixinol in the US.”
