2015-05-05 02:03 ET - News Release

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / May 5, 2015 / New Age Farm Inc. (CSE:NF) (OTC: NWGFF) (www.newagefarminc.com) ("New Age Farm" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that the common shares of the Company have been made eligible for book-entry delivery and depository services of The Depository Trust Company (the "DTC") to facilitate electronic settlement of transfers of its common shares in the United States. For the US markets, the Company's common shares will trade under the symbol NWGFF and the CUSIP number is the same for both the US and Canada: 64157D108.

DTC Eligibility means that a public company's securities can be deposited through DTC. DTC serves as the centralized clearinghouse for more than 50 exchanges and equity trading platforms in the U.S., maintaining multiple data and operating centers worldwide and providing strong business continuity and around-the-clock support. Their depository provides custody and asset servicing for securities issued from 131 countries.

Carman Parente, President and CEO of New Age Farm states "the eligibility process enhances capital market efficiencies and reduces the cost incurred in trading New Age shares in the US. With our shares now trading electronically, investors can instantly benefit from greater liquidity and faster execution speeds. Securing DTC eligibility reflects our ongoing efforts to support our growing investor base in the U.S. and abroad."

Benefits to New Age shareholders as a result of becoming DTC approved include reducing the time for stock deposits and withdrawals into brokerage accounts while eliminating the inherent risks associated with the loss and replacement of physical stock certificates. Most large U.S. broker-dealers and banks are DTC participants.

New Age Farm also announces that it has granted 250,000 stock options to certain consultants at an option exercise price of $0.20 per option share, expiring five years from date of grant.
