LAS VEGAS, April 15, 2019 /CNW/ - Australis Capital Inc. (CSE: AUSA)(OTCQB: AUSAF) ("Australis" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the Company has been approved for DTC eligibility for its common shares traded on the OTCQB exchange under symbol "AUSAF".

DTC is a subsidiary of The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation, which manages electronic clearing and settlement of publicly traded companies. Securities that are eligible to be electronically cleared and settled through the DTC are considered "DTC eligible". Trading of securities through DTC allows for cost-effective clearing and guaranteed settlement, in turn simplifying and accelerating the settle process for investors trading the Company's shares.

"Given Australis is a US focused cannabis company, we chose to list on the OTCQB market to enable US investors to invest directly into our company," said Michael Carlotti, CFO of Australis. "We are pleased our US listing is now DTC eligible as it is the largest securities depository in the world holding over 35 trillion dollars' worth of securities."
