Environmental Clean Technologies Ltd (ECT.AX) To List on US OTCQB Market

Melbourne, June 17, 2026 AEST (ABN Newswire) - Environmental Clean Technologies Limited (ASX:ECT) (ECTHF:OTCMKTS) announced it has commenced the process to list on the OTCQB Venture Market, under the ticker "ECTHF". The OTCQB listing is a deliberate step to establish ECT's presence in the United States, one of the Company's largest and most significant near-term commercial markets for its REM PFAS remediation technology platform.

HIGHLIGHTS

- ECT has commenced the process to list its shares on the U.S. OTCQB Venture Market.

- The listing is a strategic step to further establish ECT's presence in the United States, the largest and one of the most immediately addressable markets for the Company's Rapid Electrothermal Mineralisation (REM) PFAS remediation technology.

- ECT has engaged Viriathus Capital LLC as its U.S. Corporate Adviser to manage the listing process.

- The U.S. listing positions ECT to engage with U.S. environmental regulators, potential strategic partners, and commercial counterparties as the Company advances toward pilot-scale deployment of its REM technology.

- The OTCQB listing is also expected to provide U.S. retail and institutional investors with direct access to invest and trade in ECT shares in U.S. dollars during U.S. market hours, enhancing liquidity and broadening the Company's shareholder base.

To facilitate the process, ECT has engaged Viriathus Capital LLC as its U.S. Corporate Adviser to manage the Company's OTCQB listing process and expects to commence trading in Q3 2026, subject to OTC Markets Group approval and satisfaction of applicable listing requirements.

Commenting on the listing, ECT Chairman, Faldi Ismail, said: "The commencement of our OTCQB listing process is a natural next step for ECT as we build commercial momentum behind our REM technology platform. The United States is one of the most significant and most urgent PFAS remediation markets in the world, and the listing will ensure that U.S. investors can participate directly in ECT's growth.

"The listing also opens doors beyond capital markets, positioning us to engage directly with U.S. environmental agencies, potential partners, and commercial counterparties who are actively looking for solutions to the PFAS problem. We are at an early but critical stage of commercialising a technology that addresses a challenge the market has not yet solved, and establishing our U.S. presence now, as we advance toward pilot-scale deployment, will position ECT well."

As previously announced, ECT has secured, and is commercialising, its PFAS remediation technology following the acquisition of an exclusive licence from Rice University for the application of Flash Joule Heating (FJH) technology to remediate PFAS-contaminated soil, and has subsequently expanded that licence to cover the application of FJH to PFAS-contaminated adsorbents, such as granular activated carbon (GAC), used in water treatment. Laboratory trials have demonstrated greater than 96% defluorination efficiency and PFOA removal of up to 99.98%.

The United States represents one of the largest and most immediately addressable markets for ECT's technology. PFAS contamination is pervasive across the U.S., affecting military installations, industrial sites, and municipal water systems. The U.S. EPA's finalisation of maximum contaminant levels for PFAS in drinking water means water utilities and site operators are now compelled to act. There is currently no scalable, in-situ solution for permanently destroying PFAS in soil. ECT's REM technology is being developed precisely to address that gap.

Listing on the OTCQB will allow ECT to access U.S. and global investors directly, strengthen the Company's profile in the world's largest capital market, and support direct engagement with U.S. environmental agencies, potential commercial partners, and strategic counterparties, and strategic counterparties as the Company advances toward pilot-scale deployment of its REM platform.
