TORONTO, Aug. 06, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Patriot One Technologies Inc. (OTCQX: PTOTF) (“Patriot One” or the “Company”) developer of the PATSCAN™ Multi-Sensor Covert Threat Detection Platform (“PATSCAN”), wishes to make the following statements regarding recent market activity concerning its common stock traded on the OTCQX marketplace.

The Company became aware of certain promotional activity on its company, business, products, services and securities on July 2, 2019 based on its engagement of a marketing firm, Native Ads, Inc. The promotional material presents a general overview of the Company’s business and operations and the growth potential of the security technology industry and more specifically, threat detection and counter-terrorism solutions. It contains some speculative language and forward-looking statements about investment potential, but the Company does not believe it contains any materially false or misleading statements about the Company.

The Company engaged Native Ads, Inc. for the purpose of providing strategic digital media, marketing and data analytics services and directly paid Native Ads, Inc. for the creation and distribution of the promotional materials procured by Native Ads, Inc. Except for reviewing the content for factual inaccuracies regarding the Company’s business, products and services, the Company did not have editorial control over the content. Although the Company has no way of directly correlating such content to their impact on its securities, the effect of this on the Company’s securities may have resulted in an incremental increase in trading price and volume.

Since July 29, 2018, the Company has engaged the following third-party providers of investor relations, public relations, marketing and other related services: Native Ads, Inc., Equity Guru Media, Inc., Market IQ Media Group Incorporated, Tailwinds Research Group, LLC, Axe Communications Inc., Winning Media, LLC, Flathead Business Solutions, LLC, StreetWise Reports, FinancialBuzz Media Networks, PRMediaNow, Audience Marketing, Inc. and Industrious Content. 

Upon inquiry of management, directors, control persons and third-party service providers, to the best of the Company’s knowledge during the past 90 days no such persons executed any purchase or sales transactions of the Company’s securities during such time period, other than: Jeff Tindale, Director and Senior Vice President, Capital Markets of the Company, who exercised expiring warrants on June 17, 2019 to purchase 100,000 shares; Ian Murray, Audience Marketing, Inc., who exercised expiring warrants on June 27, 2019 to purchase 60,000 shares and subsequently sold 15,000 shares between July 26 and 29, 2019; and Victoria Calvert, Director, was granted incentive stock options exercisable to acquire 250,000 shares on May 29, 2019 in connection with her appointment to the Board of Directors on same date, which remain unexercised as of the date hereof. The Company has not issued any convertible debt or equity instruments that allow conversion to equity securities at prices constituting a discount to the current market rate at the time of issuance.
