January 06 2022 - 5:00AM
Consolidated Uranium Inc. (the "Company", “CUR” or
“Consolidated Uranium”) (TSXV: CUR) (OTCQB: CURUF) has
been requested by OTC Markets Group Inc. (“OTC Markets”) to issue
this statement about promotional activity concerning its common
shares (the “Common Shares”).
On January 3, 2022, OTC Markets informed the
Company that it became aware of certain promotional activities
concerning the Company and the Common Shares traded on the OTCQB
Marketplace, including the distribution of three promotional
newsletter e-mails published by The Wolf of Penny Stocks, Penny
Picks and Epic Stocks Picks discussing the Company, its projects
and the global uranium market. The publications also contained
links to, and summaries of recent news releases issued by CUR. OTC
Markets provided examples of the promotional material for
reference.
The Wolf of Penny Stocks, Penny Picks and Epic
Stocks Picks are third-party marketing and advertising firms
retained by the Company’s investor relations’ firm, Emerging
Markets LLC ("EMC"), to provide content distribution and
advertising services. Each of the newsletters presented factual
statements regarding the Company, its business and industry.
The Company provided EMC with publicly available
source information for the newsletters and did have editorial
control over the materials, including reviewing the materials for
factual accuracy prior to their dissemination. The Company does not
believe the statements in the newsletters were false or misleading.
The appointment of EMC, the nature of the relationship between CUR
and EMC as well as the compensation to be paid to EMC was publicly
disclosed in a news release on July 26, 2021 which can be found
under the Company’s profile on SEDAR and on the Company's
website.
Neither EMC nor any of its principals currently
own any securities, directly or indirectly, of the Company nor have
any current intention to acquire any securities of the Company.
Further, the Company understands this
promotional activity may have coincided with increased trading
activity in the Common Shares beginning on December 30, 2021. The
Company does not believe the promotional activities were a factor
in any increase in trading volume in the Common Shares. Rather, the
Company attributes the increase in trading volume to a news release
issued by CUR during that week, which investors can find on under
the Company’s profile on SEDAR and on the Company's website.
In the last 12 months, the Company has worked
with EMC, Mars Investor Relations and Swiss Resource Capital to
provide investor relations, public relations services, marketing,
or other related services, details of which have been publicly
disclosed in news releases issued by CUR on July 26, 2021, June 10,
2021 and October 29, 2020, respectively.
After an inquiry by management, one of the
Company's executive officers, directors sold shares of the Company
within the past 90 days. To the knowledge of the Company, no
controlling shareholders and third-party service providers have not
sold or purchased shares of the Company within the past 90
days.
The OTC Markets has further requested that the
Company state whether it has issued any shares or convertible
instruments allowing conversion to equity securities at prices
constituting a discount to the current market rate at the time of
the issuance. As disclosed in its public filings on SEDAR, the
Company has from time to time issued shares or convertible
instruments allowing conversion to equity securities at prices
constituting a discount to the current market rate at the time of
the issuance in accordance with the policies of the TSX Venture
Exchange. Please refer to the Company’s Annual Information Form
dated December 29, 2021, which is filed under the Company’s profile
on SEDAR, for a full list of such share issuances.
