GAMG Approved for OTCQB Venture Market and Appoints Steven Horne as Chief Growth Officer
OTCQB qualification advances the Company’s capital-markets strategy as GAMG expands its executive leadership team
Rockville, MD — October 1, 2026 — Global Asset Management Group, Inc. (OTC: GAMG) (“GAMG” or the “Company”), a diversified asset management and holding company, today announced that it has been approved to trade on the OTCQB® Venture Market, operated by OTC Markets Group, under its existing symbol “GAMG.” The commencement and continuity of quotations remain subject to applicable market activation processes, broker-dealer participation, market conditions, and regulatory requirements.

The OTCQB Venture Market is designed for entrepreneurial and development-stage U.S. and international companies that satisfy specified eligibility, financial reporting, disclosure, annual certification, bid-price, shareholder, public-float, transfer-agent, and other applicable requirements.

OTCQB qualification does not guarantee increased investor participation, trading volume, liquidity, capital availability, analyst coverage, or market value.
The OTCQB qualification supports GAMG’s broader capital-markets strategy and may assist the Company in:
|
| · | Reaching a broader range of prospective investors; |
|
| · | Improving awareness of the Company and access to its public disclosures; |
|
| · | Supporting engagement with capital-markets participants; and |
|
| · | Advancing future strategic acquisitions and asset-expansion initiatives, subject to financing, due diligence, definitive documentation, required approvals, and other customary conditions. |

The Company’s long-term objectives may include qualifications for a higher-tier market or listing on a national securities exchange. Any such advancement would be subject to satisfaction of applicable financial, governance, market, regulatory, and other requirements, and no assurance can be provided that it will occur within any particular timeframe or at all.
CEO Commentary
Richard Balles, Chief Executive Officer of GAMG, stated:
| “OTCQB qualification represents an important advancement in GAMG’s capital-markets strategy and reflects the disciplined work undertaken to strengthen the Company’s reporting, governance, and public-market infrastructure. We remain focused on thoughtful capital allocation, strategic acquisitions, operational execution, and the creation of sustainable long-term shareholder value.” |
