"As Advisor to GS Chain, we recognised that improving investor outreach and developing a broader shareholder base within the United States would be crucial to GS Chain in meeting its growth targets", said Brian Stockbridge, CEO, First Sentinel Corporate Finance.  "Thus, we recommended a cross-trade on OTC as an easy step in accomplishing this."
