$MNTR Moves to OTCQB Venture Stage Market Feb 10th

Mentor Capital, Inc. (OTC Pink: MNTR) reports it received confirmation from OTC Markets Group that on February 10, 2015, Mentor Capital will move up to the OTCQB venture stage marketplace for early stage and developing companies under the newly modified ticker (MNTR). Mentor Capital CEO, Chet Billingsley, observes, “As we move to provide significant public market liquidity for medical marijuana company founders, it is important for participating institutional and public investors to have confidence in those associated cannabis related business disclosures. Mentor will now be able to provide that transparency into the otherwise uncertain marijuana sector by the combination of the required OTCQB certification, OTC Markets company profile postings, full EDGAR SEC reporting, and the SEC recognition of OTCQB as an Established Public Market.”

At this milestone, Mentor Capital is pleased to recall that in the fifteen years since the company reorganized in 2000, the market capitalization of the firm has increased 4,850% which corresponds to a 29.5% annualized growth, although future results will vary.

To ensure that certain shareholders, or often their estates, still holding residual warrants from the year 2000 have an alternative opportunity to participate in the historical upside in value that has occurred over time, the company is authorizing a partial redemption, all as provided in the reorganization order, of up to 1% per month of any unexercised warrants from 2000, if any. The ordered redemption price is 10 cents per warrant which may be paid by the company or its shareholder designees and flows through to the original holder or estate. During ongoing months, designees, if any, may exercise the redeemable warrants, if any, at 50% of the closing bid price at the end of the preceding month. Certain shareholders to whom this partial redemption may apply will be further noticed at their last known address with participation details, if any, all in accordance with the reorganization order.

About Mentor Capital: The company seeks to take significant positions in medical marijuana and cannabis companies to both provide public market liquidity for founders and to incubate private cannabis companies that have the potential to be spun off as stand-alone pubic companies.
