Global Atomic Comments on Disgruntled Activist’s Attempt to Take Control of Company

30.05.2018  |  GlobeNewswire
  • Distracting and potentially costly action will not succeed

  • Business as usual at the Company

TORONTO, May 30, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Global Atomic Corp. (“Global Atomic” or the “Company”), (TSX-V:GLO) confirms it is aware of the announcement by Greyling Investments (“Greyling”) regarding its intention to nominate six candidates to stand for election at the Company’s annual and special meeting of shareholders.

Sadly, Greyling’s misguided views are heavy on innuendo and light on facts. Global Atomic will provide a detailed response in due course. In the meantime, it is business as usual at the Company.

As part of its active and ongoing communications with all shareholders, and reflective of Greyling’s early investment in both of the Company’s predecessor entities, Global Atomic’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) had reached-out to Greyling ahead of the merger of Silvermet and Global Atomic, and Greyling – who now criticizes the merger – was supportive.

It is unfortunate that a self-interested activist with a personal issue against the Company has chosen to distract from Global Atomic’s progress. It is, however, not surprising given the track record of disruption and operational interference that this dissident has demonstrated with the predecessor entities. Despite the unnecessary time and money that Greyling’s misguided actions will require, the Board and management of Global Atomic remain focused on continuing to deliver on its strategic plan and building long-term value for all shareholders.

As a reminder to all market participants, the Company expects all shareholders, including any persons acting jointly or in concert with Greyling, to comply with Canadian early warning and alternative monthly reporting rules.
