At the request of IIROC ("Investment Industry Regulatory Organization of Canada") – Market Surveillance on behalf of the TSX, Posera Ltd. wishes to confirm that it is not aware of any material, undisclosed information related to the Company that would account for the recent increase in the market price and level of trading volume of its common shares.
