Has the pandemic changed investor relations forever? At the most recent <a href="https://bit.ly/3pFip6S">Virtual Investor Conference</a> hosted by <a href="https://www.otcmarkets.com">OTC Markets Group</a>, the answer was a resounding yes.
&ldquo;The pandemic forced the investor relations industry to essentially become virtual,&rdquo; said Scott Powell, president and CEO of Skyline Corporate Communications. &ldquo;Conducting virtual roadshows for IPOs and secondary offerings would&rsquo;ve been unfathomable just a few years ago, but is completely acceptable today and has been enabled principally by technological advances.&rdquo;
Powell&rsquo;s comments were made at the Small Cap Growth Virtual Investor Conference, where he outlined who is benefitting the most from this change. Discussing topics crucial for investors such as how the pandemic has changed IR, how it has changed for the better, and how individual and retail investors may now be in a better position than ever before, gaining valuable information and access to management.
According to Powell small and micro-cap companies are probably receiving some of the biggest benefits from these changes in IR. &ldquo;This new virtual world of investor relations gives these smaller public companies a much-needed resource and many new tools to have their voices more widely heard by a more diverse investor audience.&rdquo;
Powell&#39;s remarks were highlighted by the 15 virtual investor presentations and live Q&amp;A that followed. Here are a few takeaways:
<ul>
<li>Meritage Hospitality Group, Inc. (OTCQX: MHGU, MHGUP): Meritage, the largest Wendy&#39;s Co (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/wen#NASDAQ">WEN</a>) franchisee in the world, guided it would hit $91.7 million EBITDA by 2025. That represents a 96% gain from last year&#39;s EBITDA. They also expect to operate 600 restaurants by the end of 2025, up from 346 at the end of 2020. Additionally Meritage is the world&rsquo;s largest Wendy&#39;s Co (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/wen#NASDAQ">WEN</a>) franchisee.</li>
<li>Mace Security International, Inc. (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/mace#OTCQX">MACE</a>): The non-lethal personal defense company presented statistics and forward-looking targets. Mace President &amp; CEO Gary Medved said that Mace became debt free on June 30, had already introduced multiple new products in the last few quarters, is releasing more throughout the year and is approaching its goal of a 15% minimum EBITDA. The company is leaning into omni-channel sales. Digital sales increased 60% in the first half of 2021 compared to 2020, and the company is targeting direct-to-consumer growth of 200-500%. Mace is additionally a member of the <a href="https://www.otcmarkets.com/files/2021_OTCQX_Best_50.pdf?utm_source=Homepage&amp;utm_medium=OTCM%20Website&amp;utm_campaign=Best%2050">2021 OTCQX Best 50</a>, a ranking of the top-performing OTCQX companies in the prior calendar year.</li>
<li>Gaucho Group Holdings (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/vino#NASDAQ">VINO</a>): Gaucho, owns a number of luxury brands in South America. The company touted that its Algodon properties now accept bitcoin as payment.</li>

The universe of public companies open to U.S. investors is a lot larger than most people realize.&nbsp;
There are nearly 18,000 securities available in the U.S. Over 11,000 of these trade on OTC Markets, while the rest trade on national exchanges like NYSE and Nasdaq.&nbsp;
For many retail investors, the experience of using their brokerage to trade an exchange-listed security may not be all that different than trading a security on OTC Markets but there are some key differences in how the markets function.&nbsp;
<h3>The Structure Of OTC Markets</h3>
OTC Markets is divided into three main markets&mdash; OTCQX, OTCQB, and Pink&mdash;with each tier having different standards. The goal, according to OTC Markets Group, is to create more efficient markets by organizing securities &ldquo;based on the quality and quantity of information companies disclose.&rdquo;
OTCQX, the highest tier, is home to the largest companies like Meritage Hospitality Group, Inc. (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/mhgu#OTCQX">MHGU</a>). Many of these companies also have a primary market in another country (such as Roche Holdings (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/rhhby#OTCQX">RHHBY</a>) and Adidas (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/addyy#OTCQX">ADDYY</a>)). It&rsquo;s also where a lot of community banks trade, like Coastal Carolina Bancshares Inc (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ccnb#OTCQX">CCNB</a>) and Lyons Bancorp, Inc. (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/lybc#OTCQX">LYBC</a>).&nbsp;
OTCQB, the middle tier, is where smaller, emerging companies trade, such as Nextech AR Solutions (OTCQB: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/nexcf#OTCQB">NEXCF</a>).&nbsp;
The Pink Market is an &ldquo;Open Market,&rdquo; where any company, from large-caps like Nestle (Pink: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/nsrgy#Pink">NSRGY</a>). to a reorganizing JC Penney (Pink: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/jcpnq#Pink">JCPNQ</a>), can trade.&nbsp;
<h3>Who Participates In The OTC Markets?</h3>
Securities on OTC Markets can be bought and sold by any investor, from large institutions to individual retail investors through a registered broker-dealer. Investors and broker-dealers are amongst a few key groups that are a part of the market.
COMPANIES
There are over 11,000 securities traded on the various tiers of OTC Markets.&nbsp;
Many of these securities are ADRs for major international institutions like BNP Paribas (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/bnpqf#OTCQX">BNPQF</a>) and AXA (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/axahy#OTCQX">AXAHY</a>). These companies are primarily traded in their home countries, but have ADRs that trade on OTC Markets to give U.S. investors better access and diversify their shareholder base.&nbsp;
Many companies with securities on OTC Markets fall into a number of common industries. This includes community banks like&nbsp;Bank of San Francisco (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/bsfo#OTCQX">BSFO</a>), and metals and mining companies like Standard Lithium (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/stlhf#OTCQX">STLHF</a>) and Impala Platinum (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/impuy#OTCQX">IMPUY</a>).&nbsp;
OTC Markets also serves as a home for many innovative industries that fall outside the established guidelines of a national exchange. This includes the cannabis industry which is well-represented. Because U.S. cannabis operators are unable to list on an exchange while cannabis is classified as a Schedule I drug, many have their securities traded on OTC Markets. Other innovative industries like crypto can be found as well. Grayscale&rsquo;s portfolio of products, including the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/gbtc#OTCQX">GBTC</a>) and Grayscale Ethereum Trust (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ethe#OTCQX">ETHE</a>) trade on the OTCQX Market.&nbsp;
BROKER-DEALERS
Unlike exchanges, which match buyers and sellers through a number of centralized locations, OTC Markets consists of a network of over 90 broker-dealers who trade directly with one another. These are the same broker-dealers that also trade exchange listed securities.
Investors can place orders through these broker-dealers, who can either fill the order themselves or connect with other broker-dealers through an alternative trading system such as OTC Link. This system allows broker-dealers to communicate, negotiate trades on behalf of clients, and post quotes to the public. Orders can also be placed through OTC Link ECN, which combines the Broker-Dealer network model with the anonymity of traditional markets.&nbsp;
The aggregate bids and asks posted by different broker-dealers for a given security are then consolidated to define the market for that security.&nbsp;
REGULATORS
In addition to the qualifying standards placed by OTC Markets for the OTCQX and OTCQB markets, there is also federal regulation of OTC Market participants.&nbsp;
All broker-dealers are regulated by FINRA. These regulations include rules that, among other things, require a broker-dealer to get the best possible price for a customer when executing an order and prohibit them from front-running customer orders.&nbsp;
Some securities that trade on OTC Markets are also &ldquo;SEC reporting&rdquo; meaning they are registered with and regulated by the SEC. Both organizations also regulate the OTC Link trading system.&nbsp;
When trading a security on OTC Markets, it&rsquo;s important to understand how the market&rsquo;s different players interact with each other. Each participant contributes to the liquidity and efficiency of the market and can affect how, when, or if your buy or sell order gets executed.&nbsp;
