Star Metro - Nepra Foods Applies to Upgrade to OTCQB Venture Market

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / March 13, 2025 / Nepra Foods Inc. (CSE:NPRA)(FSE:2P6)(OTC PINK:NPRFF) ("Nepra" or the "Company"), a specialty food company delivering innovative, allergen-free, and gluten-free ingredient technologies, is pleased to announce it has applied to upgrade its U.S. listing from the OTC Pink Market to the OTCQB Venture Market under the trading symbol NPRFF. This move reflects Nepra's commitment to enhancing transparency, liquidity, and accessibility for its growing investor base.

The OTCQB, recognized by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission as a public market, requires stringent reporting and compliance standards. Nepra's application follows a period of strategic progress, including the recent appointment of industry pioneer Mark Retzloff as Chairman of the Board, signaling the Company's intent to accelerate growth in the allergen-free food sector.

A Step Forward for Investors

"The OTCQB upgrade application is a key milestone for Nepra as we work to broaden our reach and strengthen investor confidence," said Billy Hogan, CEO of Nepra Foods. "This move aligns with our mission to deliver value-not just through our innovative ingredients, but also by ensuring greater visibility and trading convenience for our shareholders."

Pending approval, the OTCQB listing will provide:

• Enhanced Liquidity: Improved trading efficiency for U.S. investors, mirroring benefits seen in Nepra's prior OTCQB tenure in 2022.

• Increased Transparency: Adherence to higher disclosure standards, offering clearer insights into Nepra's operations and growth.

• Broader Access: Expanded opportunities for non-Canadian investors to engage with Nepra's vision of nutritious, allergen-free foods.
