FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 13, 1999--
NorStar Group, Inc. (OTC BB:NSTG) confirmed today that the Company has already been in the process of taking steps to become a fully reporting company as part of its strategy to build shareholder value in the Company.
"NorStar's goal is to build a solid Internet company, of which our shareholders will be proud, and becoming a fully reporting company is only one part of that goal," said Jay Sanet, NorStar's Director of Corporate Development. Sanet went on to say: "As NorStar achieves its business objectives we anticipate that the Company will meet the listing requirements of more prestigious exchanges within the financial marketplace. NorStar expects to become fully reporting, which will bring it into compliance with OTC Bulletin Board eligibility rules long before the NASD's schedule for the Company's category becomes an issue."
"NorStar Group, Inc. is in full support of the steps the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. is taking to insure more accurate financial information is available to all investors," added Sanet.
Rules 6530 and 6540 of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (NASD) have been amended and approved by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). These amendments require that companies whose securities are quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board must report their current financial information directly to the SEC. Companies not in compliance would no longer be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board (OTCBB) which is operated by the NASD.
The OTC Bulletin Board is a quotation service that displays real-time quotes, last-sale prices, and volume information for approximately 6,500 domestic and certain foreign securities which include national, regional, and foreign equity issues; and warrants, units, and American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) not listed on any other U.S. national securities market or exchange. Over half the companies currently quoted on the OTCBB do not file any public reports. Prior to the present amendments, there was no requirement for an issuer quoted on the OTCBB to make current, publicly available reports with the SEC or other regulator.
Through selective acquisitions and partnering alliances, NorStar Group, Inc. (OTC BB:NSTG) is positioning itself to be a leading provider of interactive, virtual reality, entertainment, educational, and business products and services. NorStar is also the co-developer and sole marketer of a proprietary lightweight, comfortable and affordable virtual reality headgear, The Cybervisor(TM), which is designed for home and school.
