San Francisco, USA / California, November 7th,
2024, Chainwire
Tony Vejseli, along with Figure Markets Holdings
Inc. and GXD Labs, LLC (collectively
“the Group”), today issued a response to Ionic Digital’s recent
FAQ published on November 1, which aimed to
address shareholder inquiries. The FAQ release followed an
in-person meeting between the Group and Ionic Digital’s board of
directors on October 28 in White & Case’s offices in midtown
Manhattan.
The Group acknowledges Ionic Digital’s attempt to clarify with
shareholders through recent communication after a period of limited
updates. However, the Group raised concerns that certain details
provided in the FAQ do not accurately reflect the current state of
Ionic Digital’s governance, mining costs, and shareholder potential
liquidity. The Group has issued a rebuttal to the
Company’s FAQs, expressing reservations about several responses
that the Group believes may mislead shareholders and lack the full
transparency needed to maintain confidence.
The Group remains committed to enhancing transparency around
Ionic Digital’s financial and operational metrics to safeguard
shareholder interests. To that end, the Group has proposed a
special meeting for shareholders to discuss a potential change in
the board of directors, suggesting the replacement of board members
Tom DiFiore, Scott Duffy, and Emmanuel Aidoo.
“Unfortunately, again, Ionic Digital’s response is
littered with inaccuracies which leave shareholders asking more
questions rather than getting the answers to which they are
entitled,” said Mike Cagney, CEO and Founder of Figure Markets.
“The promotion of the board of directors' self-interests must be
stopped. The only way to maximize value and liquidity is to
effectuate change which necessitates the dismissal of these board
members from their duties.”
Shareholders are invited to review the Group’s rebuttal to the FAQ and
consider supporting the proposed special meeting by completing the
form to participate in
the vote on potential board adjustments.
