VANCOUVER, BC, March 16, 2022 /PRNewswire/ – Vejii Holdings Ltd. (CSE: VEJI) (OTC: VEJIF) ("the Company'' or "Vejii"), a North American online marketplace for plant-based and sustainable products, is pleased to announce that it has received approval from the Depository Trust Company ("DTC") to make the Company's common shares (the "Common Shares") eligible to be electronically cleared and settled ("DTC Eligibility"). The Common Shares will continue to trade in the United States under the ticker symbol "VEJIF" on the OTCQB Venture Market.

DTC is a subsidiary of the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation and manages the electronic clearing and settlement of publicly traded companies. Securities that are eligible to be electronically cleared and settled through the DTC are considered "DTC eligible." Having DTC Eligibility enables the Common Shares to be distributed, settled, and serviced through DTC's automated processes. Overall, this is expected to simplify the process of trading of the Common Shares while enhancing the liquidity of the Common Shares in the United States.

"Our DTC Eligibility marks another step towards increasing market awareness for Vejii. We are working diligently to showcase the Company as a compelling, and innovative digital platform at the forefront of our industry. Between ShopVejii.com, VeganEssentials.com, and VEDGEco.com, we have established a strong presence in the US market and have built a community of ethically-aligned consumers. We believe that having DTC eligibility will make trading of the Company's common shares more accessible to the US investment community", commented Kory Zelickson, Director, and CEO of Vejii.
