It recognizes the substantial efforts and successes of our employees and the board in continuing to create value for our shareholders,” said Gabriel de Alba, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Frontera. “The board and management believe the inclusion of Frontera on the Composite Index should increase the company’s exposure to a broader range of potential investors and should provide better trading liquidity of the company’s stock for shareholders.”
