YANGAROO Inc. (OTC: YOOIF, TSX-V: YOO) illustrates how Canadian interlisted small-cap technology issuers trade on the US Pink Sheets with F-suffix ordinaries.
US brokers trade Canadian cross-listed shares via 5-letter symbols ending in "F". Unlike ADRs (which end in "Y" and represent custodial certificates), F-shares are the actual common shares of the Canadian company.
Filings for YOOIF are lodged with Canadian SEDAR+ regulators as well as furnished to the SEC under Rule 12g3-2(b) exemptions.
Unlike bankrupt or dormant OTC shell vehicles, YANGAROO has ongoing commercial revenue from broadcast television distribution and advertising delivery workflows in North America.
Why is trading volume sometimes low on YOOIF in the US?
Most volume occurs on the Canadian home exchange (TSX-V: YOO). US retail brokerages route orders through OTC market makers who cross-trade with Toronto.
Where do I find financial statements and filings for Canadian OTC stocks like YOOIF?
Unlike US domestic stocks that file on SEC EDGAR, Canadian dual-listed companies file official audited annual financials and MD&A reports with Canadian provincial regulators via SEDAR+ (sedarplus.ca) under SEC Rule 12g3-2(b) exemptions. Reports are also mirrored on the OTC Markets Disclosure Portal.
