Concerned Shareholders Continue to Express Frustration with Incumbent Board and solicit votes for new experienced slate of directors at Shareholders Meeting
TORONTO, Feb 1, 2023 / –Hummingbird Capital Inc, reminds shareholders of Ciscom Corp. (CSE; CISC), (OTCQB: CISCF) pending voting deadline.
As concerned shareholders led by Hummingbird Capital Inc., Chen Xi Liao, and Andrew Darbyson, we bring your attention to a critical juncture in the future of our company. The long-overdue Annual General Meeting (AGM) is finally upon us, and it is imperative that your voice is heard by voting the blue proxy by Monday February 5th, 9am. It is important to note that the AGM was only called due to the actions of concerned shareholders via our attorney’s Cassels Brock LLP, who pressed the Incumbent Board to convene. The incumbent Board was intent to hold a information session in February 2024 and fully disregard numerous calls from the former CEO Drew Reid and shareholders to call an AGM and make the company compliant.
Why Vote the Blue Proxy?
Our slate of directors, led by Charles Brofman, Lino Fera, Gilles A. Trahan, and Aldo Retondi, is committed to bringing positive change to Ciscom Corp. Presently, the board lacks the experience needed to navigate the complexities of public markets and has displayed tactics which can be deemed as shareholder suppression, intentional incumbent board proxy control, stifling the voice and will of its shareholders. In contrast, our proposed directors bring extensive experience and expertise to guide the company toward sustainable growth and profitability, prioritizing the will and interests of shareholders over entrenched board positions.
We acknowledge the valuable contributions and propose the re-election of Shaun Power, the chairman of the audit committee, and Dave Matthews, heading operations at Ciscom's Prospect Media Group. However, it is evident that a substantial change is needed to address the continuous decline in our stock price, absent Capital Markets, thus seriously impaired ability to acquire further companies, and the excessively high professional fees, of which the current board lacks the experience or seemingly the desire to rectify.
The Need for Change:
The stock price has been in a concerning free fall, with daily trading volume dropping to less than 150 shs traded on some days. Additionally, the professional fees incurred by the company far exceed those of similarly sized companies. Moreover, the board aims to expand further, adding more costs and potentially entrenching their control, indicating a lack of experience jeopardizing the interests of the company and its shareholders.
Your Vote Matters:
Vote for change, vote for reduced bureaucracy and management costs, and vote for experience to shape a brighter future for Ciscom Corp. Choose the blue proxy to ensure positive transformation.
Act Now:
Recognizing the current board's use of strong-arm tactics, we urge you to act now. Even if you've already cast your vote, you can supersede your previous decision by voting with our blue proxy.
Protect Your Investment:
Do not let your investment continue to lose value. Vote for experience, vote for change, and vote the blue proxy to secure a more prosperous future for Ciscom Corp.
