Flow Capital Announces the Buyout of Its Investment in Wedge Networks, Inc. and a Normal Course Issuer Bid for Common Shares

TORONTO, Dec. 24, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Flow Capital Corp. (TSXV: FW) (“Flow Capital” or the “Company”) is announcing that Wedge Networks, Inc. (“Wedge”) has completed a buyout of Flow Capital’s royalty investment for $1,250,000.

“The team at Wedge has developed a compelling solution to address cyber security threats. With the increased dependence on telecommuting, due to the ongoing pandemic, and a global digital cold war, safeguards against such threats have become even more critical. Flow Capital is glad to have participated in their growth, and we wish them well,” said Alex Baluta, CEO, Flow Capital.

“Partnering with Flow has been very important to Wedge. Alex and his team at Flow demonstrated an ability to understand the capabilities of our innovations and to visualize the potential of our solutions. The past twelve months have been nothing like anyone had anticipated. Working with Flow has enabled Wedge to transition through an unforeseeable period of global dislocation, brought on by the global pandemic, and to position itself for growth,” stated Rob Fong, Chief Operating Officer and CFO, Wedge Networks, Inc.

The Company also announces today its intention to commence a normal course issuer bid through the facilities of the TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSXV”) to repurchase, for cancellation, up to 2,548,000 common shares of the Company, representing approximately 7.92% of the Company’s presently issued and outstanding common shares (the “NCIB”). The NCIB remains subject to the final approval of the TSXV.

The NCIB will commence on December 30, 2020 and will terminate upon the earliest of (i) the Company purchasing 2,548,000 common shares, (ii) the Company providing notice of termination of the NCIB, and (iii) December 29, 2021.

The Company believes that, from time to time, the market price of its common shares does not adequately reflect the Company’s underlying value and future prospects and that, at such times, the purchase of the Company’s common shares represents an appropriate use of the Company’s financial resources and will enhance shareholder value.

The Company has engaged Hampton Securities Ltd. to act as its broker for the NCIB (the “Broker”). The NCIB will be made through the facilities of the TSXV and the purchase and payment for the common shares, will be made in accordance with TSXV requirements at the market price of the applicable securities at the time of acquisition, plus brokerage fees, if any, charged by the Broker. All securities purchased by the Company under the NCIB will be cancelled.

The Company may enter into a pre-defined plan with the Broker to allow for the purchase of securities by the Company under the NCIB at times when it ordinarily would not be active in the market due to internal trading blackout periods.

To the Company’s knowledge, none of the directors, senior officers or insiders of the Company, or any associate of such person, or any associate or affiliate of the Company, has any present intention to sell any securities to the Company during the course of the NCIB. The Company completed i) a normal course issuer bid on December 23, 2019, where the Company purchased 1,548,250 common shares at an average price of $0.28505 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $441,334; ii) a normal course issuer bid on August 1, 2019, where the Company purchased 4,334,500 common shares at an average price of $0.126628 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $548,847 and iii) a substantial issuer bid on October 17, 2019, where 5,708,090 common shares at a price of $0.20 per share were purchased by the Company, for an aggregate purchase price of $1,141,618.

A copy of each Form 5G – Notice of Intention to make a Normal Course Issuer Bid filed by the Company with the TSXV in respect of the NCIBs can be obtained from the Company upon request without charge.

An investment in securities of the Company is speculative and subject to a number of risks including, without limitation, risks relating to: the need for additional financing; the relative speculative and illiquid nature of an investment in the Company; the volatility of the Company’s share price; the Company’s ability to generate sufficient revenues; the Company’s ability to manage future growth; the limited diversification in the Company’s existing investments; the Company’s ability to negotiate additional royalty purchases or other forms of investment from new investee companies; the Company’s dependence on the operations, assets and financial health of its investee companies; the Company’s limited ability to exercise control or direction over investee companies; potential defaults by investee companies and the unsecured nature of certain of the Company’s investments; the Company’s ability to enforce on any default by an investee company; competition with other investment entities; tax matters, including the potential impact of the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act on the Company; the potential impact of the Company being classified as a Passive Foreign Investment Company; the Company’s ability to pay dividends in the future and the timing and amount of those dividends; reliance on key personnel; dilution of shareholders’ interest through future financings; and general economic and political conditions; as well as the risks discussed in the Company’s public filings.

Investor Alert: Kaplan Fox Investigates Potential Securities Fraud At Alibaba

PR Newswire

NEW YORK, Dec. 24, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Kaplan Fox & Kilsheimer LLP (www.kaplanfox.com) is investigating claims on behalf of investors of Alibaba Group Holding Limited (“Alibaba” or the “Company”) (NYSE: BABA).

On December 23, 2020 after U.S. markets closed, Chinese regulators announced that they had launched an antitrust investigation into Alibaba, acting on reports that tech giant Alibaba was pressuring merchants who sell goods on its platform to commit to not selling their goods on Alibaba’s competitors’ platforms.  China’s State Administration for Market Regulation said through official online channels it has opened an investigation into Alibaba over monopolistic practices.  The primary issue named was a practice that forces merchants to choose one of two platforms, rather than being able to work with both.

As news emerged that China’s top market regulator had launched an anti-trust probe into Alibaba, the Company’s American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) fell sharply in midday trading.

If you purchased or otherwise acquired Alibaba’s securities and would like to discuss our investigation, please contact us by emailing [email protected] or by calling (646) 315-9003.

JLM Couture Claims Designer Hayley Paige’s 8-Minute Video Misleads Her Public, Fans

– Fact-check of her Instagram post reveals several falsehoods

– ‘Smoking gun’ email proves her claim of lawyer-less contract talks is untrue

– New York Judge issues temporary restraining order against Paige regarding social media accounts and use of brand name

PR Newswire

NEW YORK, Dec. 24, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — JLM Couture, the standout wedding gown manufacturer, announced today a fact-check of Hayley Paige Gutman’s teary Instagram video reveals several falsehoods aimed at misleading the public and her fans – and disparaging her former employer.

Hayley posted the video days after New York-based JLM sued the wedding gown designer after she hijacked the company’s Instagram account and started posting content to promote her unrelated side businesses. Hayley also refused to post any content on the company-owned wedding gown brands’ social media accounts that promoted the wedding gown brands. Stuck with no access to its own social media accounts, JLM was forced to go to court to obtain the accounts’ logon information.

A Judge, hearing arguments from both sides, ordered Hayley to turn over the account’s log-on information.

The falsehood-packed video shows Paige appears intent on disparaging JLM.

Among the falsehoods reveal by a fact-check of the video are:

  • Hayley said, “I signed an employment agreement with JLM Couture in the summer of 2011. I was 25 years old and I did not have a lawyer.” That is not true. In fact, Hayley did have a lawyer during that first contract negotiation — and for all subsequent employment agreement negotiations. JLM insisted she have a lawyer and would never have negotiated an employment deal with anyone without them having legal counsel. In each employment agreement, there were multiple rounds of negotiations between Hayley and JLM until both parties and their respective attorneys reached an agreement each side felt was fair and mutually beneficial. Ms. Gutman was well aware of the conditions contained in the agreements which included JLM obtaining the rights to the Hayley Paige name for commerce – and Ms. Gutman and her lawyer negotiated much more lucrative compensation, specifically for the rights to the Hayley Paige name. That compensation was a percentage of sales.
  • Hayley said JLM is seeking control “over my Instagram account”. That is not true. The Hayley Paige bridal Instagram account was created in 2012 to promote the Hayley Paige bridal collections. It always was, and currently is, owned by the company – just as every company owns and controls its own brands and branded social media accounts. The Judge gave us control over the site after Hayley changed the passwords to the sites, refused to post content on the sites that was supportive of the bridal brands and, in fact, refused to stop posting non-bridal related content related to other businesses.
  • Hayley said she is not even “allowed to take down personal photos” or “thoughtful captions” from the Hayley Paige brands Instagram account. Actually, JLM had asked her weeks ago to remove from the brands’ social media platforms photos featuring non-bridal related items associated with other businesses and to re-post archived brand-related content that she had taken down – and she refused. Hayley also changed the passwords to the accounts, effectively locking out JLM. She then refused to post any new bridal collection promotions on Instagram. JLM insisted she continue to promote the line even while in contract negotiations, as the accounts had historically done.  She again refused, forcing us to ask a judge for the ability to gain access to our own social media accounts. Despite Hayley’s attempt to hijack the social media accounts, we still encourage, and would welcome Hayley working with JLM to add new posts to the Instagram account — and all other bridal-related accounts — content that is supportive of the Hayley Paige brands.  The brands are what everyone, including Hayley and JLM, have worked so hard to build.
  • Hayley said that during the current employment agreement negotiations, she felt JLM was “overreaching into my personal life and creative freedoms outside of bridal design that very much felt like a violation of my good faith.” That is not true. JLM insisted only that Hayley post on the company’s various social media platforms content focused on and supportive of the Hayley Paige bridal collection. Hayley has been a full-time employee of JLM and has been compensated exceedingly well.  JLM was open to Hayley pursuing other interests and was negotiating how the parties could agree to do that in a way that did not interfere with her work with JLM and kept those efforts separate.
  • Hayley said that during recent talks over a new employment contract, there was an effort on her part “to obtain a new contract, one that did not feel so one-sided…” Hayley was always represented by a lawyer in every contract negotiation. The contracts were never one sided. For example, during one negotiation, Hayley and her lawyer discussed the ramifications of having JLM own the Hayley Paige name and requested to be compensated for it. JLM agreed to the request and increased Hayley’s compensation. In the current employment deal, in exchange for the rights to the collection name Hayley Paige, she negotiated for payments for sales that occur after the term of her agreement ends. JLM’s ownership of a designer’s trademarked name is not unusual in the fashion world. Both Kate Spade and Bobbi Brown sold their rights to use their name in commerce when they sold their companies – Spade sold to Liz Claiborne in 2007 and Brown sold to Estee Lauder 1995. Both women later launched other companies under new names.

Nevada Exploration Closes Financing

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Dec. 24, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Nevada Exploration Inc. (“NGE” or the “Company”) (TSX-V:NGE; OTCQB:NVDEF) is pleased to announce that it has closed its previously announced non-brokered private placement offering (the “Offering”), pursuant to which it has issued 26,448,000 units (the “Units”) at a price of $0.125 per Unit, for gross proceeds of $3,306,000 – an increase of approximately 8.9 million Units from the 17.5 million Units contemplated in the news release dated November 30, 2020.

Commenting on the Offering and the Company’s next-stage plans at its flagship South Grass Valley Carlin-type gold project, NGE’s CEO, Wade Hodges: “We sincerely thank our stakeholders for their support. With this financing complete, our goal is to restart drilling as soon as possible.

“As we laid out in our last news release, having confirmed the presence of a large Carlin-type mineral system with our initial Phase 1 drilling program, and then what we believe to be the major controls for the mineralization with our Phase 2 drilling program, the objective of our next phase of drilling is to demonstrate that we can follow these controls to increasing concentrations of gold.

“The results of the Phase 1 and 2 drilling have highlighted the importance of a series of regional-scale, high-angle faults that we believe provided the primary source for the mineralized hydrothermal fluids across the district, which we’ve named the Water Canyon structural corridor. We expect the first holes of our next program to focus on this area for the purposes of: (1) validating our exploration model (that the Water Canyon structural corridor is in fact the primary source of the mineralized hydrothermal fluids), as well as (2) testing for potentially-shallower mineralization associated with the structural corridor, as suggested by a series of intensely-silicified mineralized boulders located at the paleosurface encountered during Phases 1 and 2, similar to the structurally-related breccias hosting Cortez Hills to the north.

“We are in discussions with contractors presently, and expect to be able to provide additional details about our plans and anticipated start date near the end of January.”

Each Unit consists of one common share in the capital of the Company (a “Common Share”) and one Common Share purchase warrant (a “Warrant”), with each Warrant entitling the holder thereof to acquire an additional Common Share at an exercise price of $0.18 per Common Share for 30 months, provided that if after 12 months from the closing date either or both of the volume-weighted average price or closing price (or closing bid price on days when there are no trades) of NGE’s common shares is greater than $0.25 per share for 10 consecutive trading days, NGE may accelerate the expiry date of the Warrants to the 30th day after the date on which NGE gives notice to the Warrant holders of such acceleration.

Proceeds from the Offering will be used to advance the Company’s South Grass Valley project, fund the acquisition of additional strategic land positions, and for general working capital.

The Offering is subject to final TSX Venture Exchange approval. All securities issued are subject to a four month plus one day hold period expiring April 25, 2021, as well as to any other re-sale restrictions imposed by applicable securities regulatory authorities. In connection with the Offering, the Company paid finders’ fees totalling $72,847.50 in cash, 639,744 in shares, and 1,222,524 in Warrants.

About Nevada Exploration Inc.

With mature, exposed search spaces seeing falling discovery rates, NGE believes the future of exploration is under cover.

The Company has spent 15 years developing and integrating new hydrogeochemistry (groundwater chemistry) and low-cost drilling technology to build an industry-leading, geochemistry-focused, under-cover toolkit specifically to explore for new gold deposits in the more than half of Nevada where the bedrock is hidden beneath post-mineral cover. Nevada’s exposed terrains have produced more than 200 Moz of gold, and experts agree there is likely another +200 Moz waiting to be discovered under cover in Nevada.

NGE has completed the world’s largest hydrogeochemistry exploration program, focused on north-central Nevada, and is now advancing a portfolio of new projects in the heart of the Cortez (Battle Mountain-Eureka) Trend.

NGE’s most-advanced project is South Grass Valley, located south of Nevada Gold Mines’ Cortez Complex. Based on the Company’s work to date at the project, NGE believes it has discovered a mineral system at South Grass Valley with the architecture and scale to support multiple Carlin-type gold deposits (CTGDs), and the potential to host an entire new district. NGE believes South Grass Valley is one of the most exciting new district-scale, Carlin-type projects in Nevada.

ALIBABA INVESTIGATION: Labaton Sucharow Announces New Investigation of Alibaba (NYSE: BABA) on Antitrust Probe and Strongly Encourages Investors with Losses to Contact the Firm

ALIBABA INVESTIGATION: Labaton Sucharow Announces New Investigation of Alibaba (NYSE: BABA) on Antitrust Probe and Strongly Encourages Investors with Losses to Contact the Firm

NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Labaton Sucharow LLP, a nationally ranked and award-winning investor rights law firm, announces it is developing a proprietary investigation concerning potential securities claims on behalf of shareholders of Alibaba (NYSE: BABA) resulting from allegations that Alibaba may have issued materially misleading business information to the investing public.

On December 24, 2020, shares of Alibaba fell as reports surfaced that the Chinese government is conducting an anti-monopoly probe into the tech giant. China’s State Administration for Market Regulation said through official online channels it has opened an investigation into Alibaba over monopolistic practices. The primary issue named was a practice that forces merchants to choose one of two platforms, rather than being able to work with both. On this news, Alibaba is down over 13% on extraordinary volume.

If you are a shareholder or option holder that suffered losses in Alibaba, and wish to participate, learn more, or discuss the issues surrounding the investigation, please contact David J. Schwartz using the toll-free number (800) 321-0476 or via email at [email protected]
