VANCOUVER, British Columbia, May 20, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Allied Copper Corp. (TSX-V: CPR, OTCQB: CPRRF) (the “Company” or “Allied Copper”) has been requested by OTC Markets Group Inc. to issue this statement about promotional activity concerning its common stock. On May 16, 2022, OTC Markets informed the Company that it became aware of certain promotional activities concerning the Company and its common stock traded on the OTCQB Marketplace, including the distribution of a promotional newsletter e-mail published by third parties managed by Emerging Markets Consulting LLC (“EMC”) discussing the industry and Company, its properties and the green energy sector (the “Promotional Content”). OTC Markets provided an example of the promotion material for reference. The Company was aware of the Promotional Content prior to its release on May 16, 2022.

Penny Picks and Beat Penny Stocks are third-party newsletters retained by EMC who was retained by the Company to increase awareness and market share for its customer base and improve visibility to the retail and institutional investment community. The Company had editorial control over the Promotional Content and was reviewed by management prior to its release. The Company does not believe the statements in the Promotional Content were false or misleading. The nature of the relationship between Allied Copper and EMC as well as the compensation to be paid to EMC was publicly disclosed on March 14, 2022 and the news release announcing the appointment can be found on SEDAR.

Further, the Company understands this promotional activity may have coincided with increased trading activity in the Company’s common shares beginning on May 16, 2022. The Company believes the promotional activities were a factor in the recent increase in trading volume in the Company’s common shares as this was the first significant distribution to a US investor base.

After an inquiry by management, none of the Company’s executive officers, directors or, to the knowledge of the Company, any controlling shareholders and third-party service providers, sold or purchased shares of the Company within the past 90 days.

In the last twelve months, the Company has worked with Streetwise Reports (Nov – Apr), Triple Bull Consulting (Nov – Feb) and Supercharged Stocks (Nov – Oct), to provide marketing or other related services. 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.
