Oragenics Announces New Trading Symbol “OGEN” and Trading of Shares on Both the OTCQB and OTCBB

TAMPA, Fla.-- Oragenics, Inc. (OTCQB: OGEN) (OTCBB: OGEN) (www.oragenics.com) today announced that its new trading symbol on the OTCBB is “OGEN”. The Company’s shares are also trading on the OTCQB, an inter-dealer quotation system for publicly traded companies that are current in their SEC required filings, and its OTCQB trading symbol has also changed to “OGEN”.

“We believe the symbol change to “OGEN” better aligns our stock symbol with our brand name and while our shares trade on the OTCBB, the quotation of our shares on OTCQB remains a positive development because it provides access to the larger number of market makers and better trading platform that we believe the OTCQB provides,” said Dr. John Bonfiglio, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. The OTCQB is owned by a private company, OTC Market Groups, Inc., which distinguishes its trading platform from the OTCBB on the basis of being more efficient by being an electronic trading platform rather than telephonic. Shareholders and potential investors can now obtain detailed trading information regarding the Company, including real-time bid and ask quotes, at http://www.otcmarkets.com/stock/OGEN/quote.
