NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / August 2, 2021 / FingerMotion, Inc. (OTCQX:FNGR), a mobile data and services company, announced today that it has been requested by the OTC Markets Group Inc. ("OTC Markets") to comment on recent promotional activity concerning its shares of common stock.

On July 28, 2021, OTC Markets informed the Company that it had become aware of promotional activity encouraging investors to purchase the Company's shares of common stock, which is also the date that the Company became aware of such promotional activities in the U.S. This is the same day that the Company disseminated a news release with respect to the Company having submitted an application to have its shares of common stock listed Nasdaq Capital Market. The promotional materials about which the OTC Markets inquired of the Company were prepared and circulated in the form of a newsletter-email by third parties unknown to the Company. The Company is unable to determine the effects of the promotional activity on the trading activity of the Company's shares compared to that of the Company's own news release on the same day. The Company had no involvement with the promotional activity, and therefore, had no editorial control over the content.

The Company does not believe the statements made in the promotional materials were materially false and/or misleading, however, it is possible that certain excerpts might be read as misleading and/or incomplete and readers should not place undue reliance on the promotional materials. The Company is not able to comment on information about the industry or the market as we cannot determine the accuracy or legitimacy of the sources. Specifically, the Company does not condone the use of sensational language to describe the Company's business prospects or the growth potential of the Company's industry. The Company notes that investing in the Company's securities involves certain risks and uncertainties which investors should review prior to making any investment decision. The Company encourages all investors to undertake proper due diligence and carefully consider all investment decisions. The Company directs potential investors to rely solely on its filings and disclosures made with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission through EDGAR, available at www.sec.gov

Upon inquiry of third-party service providers, the Company has now become aware that Gregory Bergman was indirectly involved in the payment for the promotional activity through third-party subcontractors of which the Company was unaware and over which the Company had no involvement of the editorial review or approval of the promotional activity, which is not in compliance with the requirements of the agreement with Mr. Bergman as he was required to provide a copy of all promotional materials to the Company for review and pre-approval prior to such being disseminated.

Other than the issuance of shares of common stock in June and July to a third-party service provider, after inquiry of management, its officers, directors, any controlling shareholders, or any third-party service provides, the Company is not aware of any purchases or sales of the Company's shares in the past 90 days.

The Company has engaged the following third-party service providers to provide investor relations services, public relations services, marketing, or other related service within the last twelve months: Zacks Investment Research (August 2020); Hybrid Financial Ltd. (September 2020); TD Media, LLC d/b/a Life Water Media (December 2020); Investor Brand Network (March 2021); and Greg Bergman (June 2021, who was also paid shares for his services).
