Relevium Technologies Inc. (TSX.V: “RLV”, OTCQB: “RLLVF” and
Frankfurt: “6BX”) (the “Company” or “Relevium”), announced today
that it has been made aware of and requested by the OTC Markets
Group, Inc. to comment on recent promotional activity concerning
its common shares traded on the OTCQB market.
On June 27th, 2019, the OTC Markets Group sent
the Company copies of three newsletters sent on June 25 and June
26, 2019 by SmallCapFirm, a third-party marketing and awareness
firm utilized by StockWireNews, LLC (“StockWireNews”), which in
turn was utilized by one of the Company’s marketing firms, Shore
Thing Media, LLC (“Shore Thing”). The Company was not aware of the
newsletters until the OTC Markets Group sent the copies on June
27th, 2019.
After inquiry of management, except with respect
to the engagement of Shore Thing as further described below, none
of the Company’s officers were involved, directly or indirectly,
with the creation or distribution of promotional materials nor were
we asked to provide, nor did provide any editorial content.
After the Company was contacted by OTC Markets
Group regarding the promotional activity, the Company contacted
Shore Thing, and was informed by Shore Thing that Shore Thing
engages third parties, such as StockWireNews, which in turn also
engages third parties such as SmallCapFirm, for marketing, and pays
such third parties at market rates for such promotional
material.
The three newsletters discussed an overview of
the Company’s business along with other referenced firms. The
Company does not believe the statements referencing it in the
promotional materials were false or misleading. Other commentary in
the newsletters appears to express the author’s personal
opinions.
The Company believes the promotional activity
may have been a factor with respect to an increased price and
trading volume concerning the Company’s common shares that occurred
following the promotional activity. However, the small increase in
the share price during this period also corresponded with the
announcement of the Company’s medical cannabis strategy and
investor call during this period, which the Company believes may
also have been a factor with respect to such increased price and
trading volume.
After inquiry of Company management, none of the
Company’s officers, directors or controlling shareholders nor
third-party service providers, have sold or purchased Company
securities in the past 90 days other than the Company’s CEO, Mr.
Aurelio Useche purchasing 4,213,713 common shares from the
Company’s former controlling shareholder, Mr. Albertus Engelbrecht,
on May 21, 2019 in a private sale (see
https://releviumtechnologies.com/press-releases/2019/05/relevium-announces-private-share-purchase-by-ceo/)
and an acquisition by the Company’s Chairman of the Board, Mr.
André Godin, purchasing 375,000 common shares and 375,000 share
purchase warrants on June 11, 2019 pursuant to the Company’s
private placement (see
https://releviumtechnologies.com/press-releases/2019/06/relevium-closes-private-placement-financing/).
The Company has issued shares at a discount to
the current market rate at the time of the issuance through private
placements in accordance with the policies of the TSX Venture
Exchange. The Company recently closed a non-brokered private
placement financing on June 11, 2019 for a total of 15,350,000
units (the “Units”) at C$0.08 per Unit, each Unit consisting of one
common share and one common share purchase warrant to purchase a
common share at C$0.12, for total gross proceeds
of C$1,228,000 (see
https://releviumtechnologies.com/press-releases/2019/06/relevium-closes-private-placement-financing/).
In the past three years, the Company has held closings on other
private placements (see
https://releviumtechnologies.com/press-releases/2017/06/relevium-provides-corporate-update-and-final-closing-of-the-equity-financing/, https://releviumtechnologies.com/press-releases/2017/06/relevium-completes-acquisition-of-bioganix-and-initial-closing-of-concurrent-debt-and-equity-financing/,
https://releviumtechnologies.com/press-releases/2017/05/relevium-provides-update-on-financing-and-acquisition-of-bioganix/, https://releviumtechnologies.com/press-releases/2016/10/relevium-completes-maestro-private-placement/, https://releviumtechnologies.com/press-releases/2016/08/relevium-announces-closing-of-private-placement/
and https://releviumtechnologies.com/press-releases/2016/07/relevium-announces-private-placement-by-maestro-capital/.
The Company has not at any point issued convertible instruments
allowing conversion to equity securities at prices constituting a
discount to the current market rate at the time of the
issuance.
In the last 12 months, the Company has engaged
Renmark Financial Communications to provide investor relations
services, and Emerging Growth, LLC, Empire Relations Holdings, LLC,
Equity Insight Inc., Follow the Money Investment Group, Mediant
Communications, MI3 Communication, Investing News Network, Frontier
Flex Marketing, Stock House Publishing Ltd., Stonebridge Partners,
LLC and Shore Thing to provide marketing services. The engagement
of Shore Thing was terminated as of June 28, 2019.
