VANCOUVER, British Columbia – July 22, 2025 – TheNewswire - Carrier Connect Data Solutions Inc. (TSX.V:CCDS; OTCQB:CCDSF; WKN: A40XB1) (the “Company” or “Carrier”), a data center company on a mission to roll up Tier II/III data centers internationally that specialize in delivering co-location, announces that it has qualified for trading on the OTCQB® Venture Market ("OTCQB") in the United States operated by the OTC Markets Group Inc. Effective on July 17, 2025, common shares of Carrier began trading on the OTCQB under the symbol "CCDSF" and continued to trade on the TSX-V under the symbol "CCDS" and on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange under the symbol "F5Z0".

The OTCQB allows established international companies listed on a qualified foreign exchange to leverage their existing reporting standards and make disclosures available in the United States - utilizing the exemption from registration under Section 12(g) of the United State Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), provided by Rule 12g3-2(b). Under Exchange Act Rule 12g3-2(b), international companies are exempt from SEC registration and reporting if they are a "foreign private issuer" (as defined in Exchange Act 3b-4) and make whatever information is required by their home market regulator publicly available to U.S. investors in English. To qualify for the OTCQB, companies must be current in their reporting obligations, follow best practice corporate governance, and demonstrate compliance with applicable securities laws.

The Depository Trust Company ("DTC") is a depository for securities and facilitates electronic settlement of transfers in the United States ("U.S."). The Company also announces that it has been granted DTC eligibility for the trading of its shares. In the U.S., DTC eligibility will help enhance the Company's potential investor base and offer a more convenient trading experience for current and future shareholders.

"Accessing the OTCQB enables Carrier Connect Data Solutions to expand its access to U.S. investors," said Mark Binns, CEO. "Given the Company's global market opportunity, and our recent Share Purchase Agreement signing with Nexion in Australia, we believe cross-trading between the TSX-V, OTCQB and FSE will enhance liquidity and our commitment to delivering value for our shareholders."
