Kontrol Energy Announces Application for OTCQB Listing

TORONTO, ON / January 11, 2019 / Kontrol Energy Corp. (CSE:KNR, FSE:1K8), ("Kontrol" or the "Company") a leader in energy efficiency technology and solutions industry, is pleased to announce that it has submitted an application to have its common shares trading on the OTCQB Venture Market (the "OTCQB"). The listing of the Company's common shares on the OTCQB remains subject to the approval of the OTCQB and the satisfaction of applicable listing requirements.

The Company believes that being listed on the OTCB will expand the Company's presence in the U.S. and provide current and future U.S.-based shareholders with greater access to and ease of trading in Kontrol’s common shares. The Company will continue to trade on the Canadian Securities Exchange under its existing symbol "KNR" and in Frankfurt under its existing symbol “1K8”.

"Admission to the OTCQB is part of our strategic growth and our focus on introducing the Company to a broader range of institutional and retail investors in the U.S.," stated Paul Ghezzi, CEO Kontrol Energy. "Currently we have an office in New York City and approximately 20% of the Company’s consolidated revenues are generated in the US. With the company now on a $16 Million revenue run rate, it is an opportune time to provide U.S. investors with a platform to more easily invest in Kontrol’s common shares.”
