DEEPMARKIT CLARIFIES MARKET MAKER ENGAGEMENT TERMS AND U.S. TRADING SYMBOL
DeepMarkit Corp. has clarified certain information contained in its news release dated Dec. 19, 2025, regarding the terms of its market-maker engagement and to confirm the company's current U.S. trading symbol.
U.S. trading symbol
The company wishes to advise that its common shares now trade on the OTC Markets under the symbol MKTSF (formerly MKTDF). This change reflects the company's recent proposition to change the name from DeepMarkit Corp. to Prospect Markets Inc., subject to shareholder approval at the coming annual general meeting (see Nov. 28, 2025, press release) to align with its evolving business focus.
Market-making services
The company also wishes to clarify the terms of its market-making engagement as follows.
The company has engaged the services of ICP Securities Inc. effective Dec. 15, 2025, to provide market-making services pursuant to a market-making agreement. ICP will provide automated market-making services, including use of its proprietary algorithm, ICP Premium. The market-making agreement is for an initial term of four months and shall be automatically renewed for subsequent one-month terms (each an additional term) unless either party provides at least 30 days of written notice prior to the end of the initial term or an additional term, as applicable.
Pursuant to the market-making agreement, the company will pay ICP a monthly fee of $7,500 for acting as market-maker.
No stock options or other compensation are being granted in connection with this engagement. ICP is arm's length to the company. The company's engagement of ICP remains subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
"As what we believe to be the first publicly traded prediction markets platform, we are taking a measured approach to building awareness among investors in both North America and Europe," said Steve Vanry, chief executive officer. "These engagements, together with our previously announced marketing initiatives, represent a comprehensive, multijurisdictional approach to expanding investor awareness across our key markets."
Marketing agreement
As previously announced, the company has entered into a marketing agreement with Plutus Invest and Consulting GmbH (address: Buchtstr. 13, Bremen, 28195, Germany; e-mail: contact@plutusinvest.de, telephone: 49-421-1754-0174), pursuant to which Plutus will provide the company with marketing and communications services for the approximate period from Jan. 1, 2026, to Dec. 31, 2026.
The media services provided by Plutus may include the distribution of company-approved content through financial news portals, investor newsletters, social media platforms such as X, LinkedIn, YouTube, Reddit and Telegram, paid digital advertising networks, and sponsored articles and video interviews on investor relations portals. The company has agreed to pay Plutus an initial fee of 100,000 euros upon the provision of the media services and up to 250,000 euros if the company requests to extend the initial campaign. The company will not issue any securities to Plutus as compensation for the media services.
Plutus is a German-based company headed by Marco Messina, who is arm's length from the company. To the company's knowledge, Plutus holds no interest in the securities of the company or any right to acquire such an interest. The engagement of Plutus is subject to the approval of the TSX-V.
