Before the opening bell, Content Checked Holdings, Inc. (OTCQB: CNCK) announced the engagement of Bonwick Capital Partners LLC as its financial and corporate advisor. Bonwick is a full-service broker dealer focused on providing top tier service to institutional clients across sales and trading, investment banking and corporate advisory business lines. Moving forward, Bonwick is expected to play a key role in Content Checked’s financial, corporate and mergers and acquisitions strategy, as well as the company’s planned application submission for uplisting to the NASDAQ exchange later this fiscal year.
“We are excited to work with Bonwick Capital in helping us execute our growth and financial strategy and with what has always been an important part of our corporate development plan: an uplisting to NASDAQ,” Kris Finstad, president and chief executive officer of Content Checked, stated in this morning’s news release. “Our planned uplisting to NASDAQ will allow us to tap into much broader capital market resources and further solidify our short- and long-term goals of successfully executing our business strategy.”
Ahead of its planned uplisting, Content Checked will be required to comply with a number of corporate governance standards set forth by NASDAQ. These include the engagement of an audit committee, appointment of independent directors and detailed management and officer compensation requirements. As a Financial Industry Regulation Authority (FINRA) registered broker/dealer and a Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC) member firm, Bonwick’s consulting services are expected to play a key role in expediting the company’s progress toward meeting these requirements and facilitating sustainable growth.
In recent weeks, Content Checked has turned much of its attention toward increasing its visibility among both institutional and retail investors. Last month, the company partnered with leading New York City-based capital markets advisory firm PCG Advisory Group for its capability to provide valuable insight and exposure to Content Checked’s products, partnerships and development pipeline. With a growing focus on enhanced investor relations and plans in place to uplist to a national exchange before the end of the year, Content Checked is making tremendous strides toward executing on its growth strategy and maximizing returns for shareholders.
