NEW YORK, Dec. 23, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- (OTCQX: OTCM), operator of regulated markets for trading 12,000 U.S. and international securities, today announced (“Bancorp”) (OTCQX: GLBZ), the holding company for The Bank of Glen Burnie (the “Bank”), has qualified to trade on the OTCQX® Best Market. Glen Burnie Bancorp previously traded on Nasdaq.
Glen Burnie Bancorp begins trading today on OTCQX under the symbol “GLBZ.” U.S. investors can find current financial disclosure and Real-Time Level 2 quotes for the company on .
The OTCQX Market enables U.S. regional and community banks to lower the cost and complexity of being a public company. Through streamlined market standards tailored for banks, OTCQX provides transparent trading, visibility, and easy access to company information for stockholders. To qualify for OTCQX, community banks must meet high financial standards, follow best practice corporate governance, and demonstrate compliance with applicable securities laws.
“We are excited to join the more than one hundred investor-focused banks currently trading on OTCQX, the highest level market of OTC markets. We are confident that this platform will enable us to continue providing our stockholders with both transparency and efficient trading. This change allows our management team to reduce the regulatory burden and compliance costs while reallocating resources to better serve the needs of our clients and communities,” said Mark C. Hanna, President and CEO. “We anticipate significant cost savings and efficiencies resulting from Bancorp’s U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) deregistration and delisting from Nasdaq.”
On December 12, 2025, Bancorp announced its intention to voluntarily delist Bancorp’s common stock (and related common stock purchase rights) from Nasdaq and its intention to subsequently voluntarily deregister its common stock with the SEC, in order to terminate and suspend its reporting obligations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Bancorp based its decision to delist and deregister from Nasdaq on Bancorp’s intention to provide liquidity to its stockholders following the delisting by having its common stock traded on the OTCQX.
Raymond James & Associates, Inc. acted as the company’s OTCQX corporate broker.
