Acacia Diversified Holdings, Inc. is now DWAC/FAST eligible

CLEARWATER, Fla., April 13, 2017

This DTC approval should change the transactional process from weeks to hours.  DWAC/FAST approval also eliminates the risk associated with the loss and replacement process of physical share certificates.

In addition to being expeditious, another side benefit is many companies approved for DWAC/FAST electronic transfers may experience higher trading volumes in their stock given the additional accessibility and availability of shares for trading.

"We are please, to share this improvement and efficient step with our shareholders," said Richard K. Pertile, Acacia's Chief Executive Officer.  "Saving our shareholders cost and time, in facilitating more trading in the open market and enabling us to expand our shareholder base is paramount."

Richard K. Pertile, who has been overseeing the business of the company since January 14, 2016, states, "In addition to being DWAC/FAST eligible, I am excited to let our shareholders know our latest financial filings, the annual report on for 2016 on Form 10-K, are now available for all to review on the OTC Markets trading platform and on the company web site at: www.acaciadiversifiedholdings.com."
