1. In summarizing the Company’s understanding of the promotional activities, please see the following:
a. The Company became aware of an unauthorized stock promotion on April 27, 2022, via an email from the OTC Markets. As a result of the campaign, OTC Markets Group added a stock promotion icon to GZ6G’s trading symbol.
b. The promotional activity has created an increase of trading on the market and has driven the stock down below $1.00.
c. The Company has learned that the stock promotion is being run by the following three entities: StockStreetWire, StockWireNews, and SmallCapFirm, all owned by SWN Media LLC. The Company had no knowledge of this promotion and has no agreement with any of the three entities, or with SWN Media LLC. It appears that each of the three entities entered into agreements with Awareness Consulting Network, LLC to publicly disseminate information about GZIC, via website, email, and SMS beginning on 4/26/2022 and ending on 4/27/2022. SWN Media was paid $2,500 for each dissemination. The Company has no knowledge of Awareness Consulting Network, LLC and has no agreement with Awareness Consulting Network, LLC. The promotional material generally refers to news releases the Company has published and directs interested parties to go to the articles. The Company has reached out to each of the email addresses set forth in the promotional materials; however, it has not yet received a response. The Company does not endorse, support, or encourage any third-party promotions related to the Company, its stock or its stock performance.
2. Pursuant to OTC’s guidance regarding “Stock Promotion: Best Practices for Issuers,” the Company has conducted a thorough investigation of its management, employees and consultants, and has determined that none have been or are currently involved in the stock promotion, nor has any sold or purchased the Company’s securities within the period leading up to, during, or after the promotional activity. Additionally, the Company recently participated in a training session regarding information dissemination, led by PondelWilkinson, the Company’s investor relations counsel. Further, none had any editorial control over the content of the promotional activities.
3. The Company does not believe the information provided in the promotional materials is materially misleading.
4. After inquiry of management, the directors and control persons, its officers, directors, any controlling shareholders (defined as shareholders owning 10% or more of the company’s securities), or any third-party service providers have confirmed that they have not been involved, directly, or indirectly, in any way (including payment of a third-party) with the creation, distribution, or payment of promotional materials related to the Company and its securities.
5. After inquiry of management, the directors, control persons, and third-party service providers, the Company, its officers, directors, and any controlling shareholders, or any third-party service providers, it has been determined that none have sold or purchased the Company’s securities within the past 90 days.
