MIAMI, FL / ACCESSWIRE / April 6, 2022 / Boatim, Inc. (OTCQB:BTIM) ("Boatim" or the "Company), an innovative software and service company dedicated to professionalizing and standardizing the leisure boating industry, received a "Stock Promotion" flag from OTC Markets Group on April 1, 2022, for a newsletter campaign disseminated on April 1-5, 2022.
The newsletters were not initiated by Boatim and were unknown to Boatim. After requesting information from OTC Markets Group on April 1, 2022, Boatim was able to review the newsletters and learned that several websites had disseminated information through various email and direct marketing campaigns about the Company. These sites include secretstcokpromoter.com, hototc.com, profitabletraderauthority.com, and pennypicksfinders.com. There may also be others but the Company has not yet discovered them.
The Company has conducted an inquiry into management, the directors, and control persons, its officers, directors, and controlling shareholders, as well as all third-party service providers affiliated with Boatim, and concluded that none of these parties were involved in the creation, distribution, or payment of promotional materials related to the Company and its security. While the Company did not have any involvement with the content of the newsletters or its use, it was sourced from publicly available information, and therefore, in the Company's opinion, was factual.
After conducting its inquiry, the Company has further concluded that no members of management, the directors, or control persons, have sold or purchased the Company's securities within the past 90 days. Two of Boatim's third party service providers have sold, in aggregate, approximately 10,000 shares of the Company's securities, between February 15 and March 15, 2022. Neither of those providers were in possession of any non-public information or had access to any such information, but sold shares pursuant to their 2021 contracts which paid for services with securities, at that time, and were disclosed by the Company in its filings with the SEC.
Boatim has contracts with FMW Media Works Corp, TD Media LLC, SRAX, Inc., and North Equities for public relations, digital design, SEO, and consumer marketing consulting purposes in the past six months. To Boatim's knowledge, after its inquiry, none of these companies perform stock promotions for Boatim or are affiliated with the stock promoters who sent these emails.
In addition to performing its inquiry, Boatim as looked into all convertible instruments to see if any trading was done in the last 90 days by convertible note holders or former holders, and has not found any. Any and all convertible instruments issued by the Company have been disclosed in the Company's SEC filings.
The newsletters have caused a spike in the Company's share volume being traded but the price has remained within a consistent range over the past several weeks, which much below Boatim's 52 week average price.
Boatim, Inc. is a fully reporting public company and timely filer with the Securities Exchange Commission (SEC). Detailed information is disclosed on an ongoing basis in quarterly and annual reports, which can be found on www.sec.gov.
As the Company continues to advance and take an active role in the future of recreational boating, it will share its progress through all available and appropriate channels. Boatim has requested that OTC Markets Group remove the flag.
