Vemanti Group Sets Course To Upgrade Listing Status

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif, April 17, 2018 -- Vemanti Group, Inc. (OTC PINK:VMNT), a technology-driven holding company, today announced the official start of another important initiative. The Company has retained Irvine-based Ramirez Jimenez International CPAs, a PCAOB-registered firm (“RJI”), to perform financial audits for the 2016-17 fiscal years to commence its effort in becoming a fully-reporting company with the Securities and Exchange Commission – with intention on upgrading to the OTCQB or OTCQX and eventually a major exchange, such as the NASDAQ.

Following a successful audit, the Company will make all required SEC filings and, once accepted, will be subject to all rules and regulations applicable to reporting companies under the Exchange Act. The Company’s securities, which are currently quoted on the OTCPink under the ticker symbol VMNT, would then have an opportunity to be quoted on the other quotation platforms offered by the OTC Markets Group (“OTC Markets”) – OTCQB or OTCQX. The Company will maintain an independent Audit Committee and provide annual financial statements audited by a Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) auditor and unaudited interim financial reports, prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).

“We take transparency and shareholder confidence very seriously. It has always been our intention from the start to move to a higher and more recognized exchange. With our fundamentals now stronger than ever and with our business prospects shaping up nicely, completing a financial audit to become SEC fully-reporting is the natural next step for us. We want to show the investment community our commitment to building a sustainable company,” stated Tan Tran, Chairman and CEO of Vemanti Group.

With solid legal and audit representation, the Company is confident that the process can be completed within six (6) months. However, the audit can be subject to delays due to legacy issues; status change can be subject to delays due to SEC comments; and, quotation upgrade applications can be subject to delays due to review and/or revisions from the OTC Markets Group. Regardless, while going through the entire process, the Company will continue to evaluate options to maximize the value of the Company's assets, including opportunities to invest in or acquire one or more businesses that provide revenue opportunities or increased valuation.
