MIAMI, Jan. 25, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Xtreme Fighting Championships (“XFC” or “the Company”), the first publicly traded premier international mixed martial arts (“MMA”) organization, announced it has received approval to change its ticker symbol from “DKMRD” to “XFCI”. XFC’s common shares now trade on the Over-the-Counter (OTC) market under the new symbol “XFCI”. XFC has traded under the ticker "DKMRD" since the Company's initial OTC listing.
Emerging mid-COVID under new leadership and a roster of the next great MMA professional fighters, the XFC spent 2021 building its platform and network of international broadcast and pay-per-view partners to prepare for a 2022 strategic re-launch. This new ticker symbol is a key component of the Company’s re-launch while it maintains its sights set on a targeted NASDAQ uplisting by the end of 2022.
“We are extremely pleased to see that our ticker symbol now better aligns with our brand and vision, which will strengthen our visibility with institutional and retail investors and provide consistent recognition across all our audiences and fans,” said Steve Smith, CEO of the XFC. “We remain committed to our strategic plans for growth and maximizing shareholder value by expanding our number and magnitude of fights, growing our roster of the next generation of world-class fighters, and accelerating our top and bottom line to walk the talk on being the fastest growing league in the world’s fastest growing sport, MMA.”
XFC's most recent event, YoungGuns 4, took place Dec. 10 in front of a capacity crowd at The DeltaPlex Arena in Grand Rapids, Michigan, LIVE on FOX Sports 2, with replays on FS2 and FOX Deportes. XFC will reveal its complete 2022 schedule of fights later this month, pending final negotiations with new broadcast partners, including its first Pay Per View (PPV) fight slated for March 2022
No action is required by existing Xtreme Fighting Championships shareholders with respect to the ticker symbol change. The Company’s common stock will continue to be listed on the OTC as XFCI.
