HARBIN, China, April 12, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Tongli Pharmaceuticals (USA) Inc. (OTCBB/OTCQB: TGLP) announced today that, pursuant to FINRA Rule 6440 and SEC Rule 15c2-11, the company has been cleared today by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) OTC Compliance Unit to have quotations for its common stock entered on the OTC Bulletin Board (OTCBB), effective with the opening of trading on April 12, 2011. In March 2011, the OTCBB ceased quoting the company’s shares due to a lack of market markers, although the company’s stock continued to be quoted on the OTCQB Market operated by OTC Markets Group, Inc.
Mr. Mingli Yao, Chairman and CEO of Tongli Pharmaceuticals, commented, “We are very pleased that the process of moving back on to the OTCBB has been completed. It is important to note that the reason our stock was removed from the OTCBB in the first place had nothing to do with our operations, sales, profits, SEC reporting status or similar matters. In fact, our shares were never moved to the so called ‘pink sheets’ and continued to be quoted on the OTCQB. We are hopeful that the move back to the OTCBB will help to attract a broader and more sophisticated shareholder base for our company as we continue with our primary focus of growing sales of our traditional Chinese medicines in China and delivering profitable results of operations to create value for our stockholders.”
