The Company prefers not to opine on stock price and trading activity, however, given the recent inquiries from investors, the Company confirms that everything material has been disclosed by the Company in either its press releases or financial reports. PyroGenesis further confirms that none of the contracts previously disclosed are at risk. Last, but not least, the Company wishes to reassure PyroGenesis’ investors that the Company remains on track with current and prospective projects.
