TROY, Mich. -- (Business Wire)

Zivo Bioscience, Inc. (OTCID: ZIVO) ("ZIVO" or the "Company") announced today that it is transitioning its common stock to quotation on the OTCID marketplace.

Zivo Bioscience begantrading on OTCID as of Monday, May 11, 2026.

Transitioning to OTCID is a common step for companies seeking to maintain public trading while aligning with a marketplace that offers streamlined reporting requirements, improved flexibility, and continued visibility for investors. Companies moving to OTCID typically do so to promote continued trading, maintain shareholder access to liquidity, and operate within a disclosure framework that supports their stage of growth and operational needs.

The OTCID marketplace is an OTC Markets tier for companies that publish baseline disclosure and maintain current information through OTC Markets’ disclosure systems. As part of the transition, the Company will continue to make available required corporate and financial information through its OTC Markets disclosure page in accordance with applicable OTC Markets standards.

“This transition supports our commitment to transparency and continued access for our shareholders,” said John B. Payne, CEO. “Completing OTC Markets’ review process and moving to OTCID allows us to focus on advancing our scientific and commercial objectives while maintaining an efficient public‑market presence.”

All existing shareholders will retain their positions through the transition, and no action is required on their part.

Shareholders may stay up to date on company news, announcements, and insights, please connect with us on Facebook, X, and LinkedIn, or by regularly checking the Company’s disclosure page on the OTC Markets website, where filings, financials, and updates are posted.
