ABAXX CONTINUES TO PROVIDE FACTS REFUTING ONGOING MISINFORMATION AND REAFFIRMS STRONG BUSINESS FUNDAMENTALS
Abaxx Technologies Inc. has provided additional facts refuting continuing misinformation published about the company by Viceroy Research Group.
Regulatory outreach and potential litigation
The company believes Viceroy's reports about the company amount to nothing but a short-and-distort campaign, containing numerous false, unfounded and meritless statements about its business. The sole purpose of Viceroy's campaign is to profit from a decline in the price of Abaxx common shares at the expense of its long-term shareholders.
As a result, Abaxx has contacted the Canadian Investment Regulatory Organization to inform the regulator of the reckless and defamatory allegations that have been made against the company by Viceroy and to request that CIRO investigate potentially manipulative or deceptive trading activity in Abaxx's common shares by Viceroy and any other parties. Abaxx Exchange has also pro-actively reached out to its regulator, the Monetary Authority of Singapore, regarding Viceroy's allegations, given Viceroy is plainly seeking to undermine confidence in trading activity on Abaxx Exchange.
In addition, the company has retained the leading U.S. law firm of Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP to investigate wrongdoing related to Viceroy's campaign and its trading in the company's common shares.
Abaxx also provided the following additional facts about its business to give investors a true picture of its current position.
The company is not under investigation:
-
Neither the company nor its subsidiaries are under investigation by any regulator.
-
As described above, the company has been in contact with regulators and plans to continue to keep them informed of the current situation.
The company is financially secure with robust levels of cash on its balance sheet:
-
The company holds more than $97-million in cash and cash equivalents as of June, 2026.
-
The current
net cash burn rate
has averaged $12.3-million over the past two completed quarters.
-
This is sufficient to finance current operational plans for approximately the next seven quarters without the need to raise additional funds.
Wash trading is illegal and not permitted on Abaxx Exchange:
-
Wash trading is
illegal
and, pursuant to
Rule 508 in Abaxx Exchange's rulebook, is not permitted.
-
Abaxx Exchange has a robust market surveillance program that actively monitors and reviews trading activity for signs of wash trading or other forms of possible market manipulation in alignment with regulatory requirements.
-
Any suspected violations are subject to Abaxx Exchange's disciplinary proceedings, which can include reporting to regulators and suspension or termination of offending parties, as outlined in
Rule 209
in the exchange rulebook.
-
None of the participants in Abaxx Exchange's market making and liquidity provider programs are undisclosed related parties.
Abaxx Exchange ecosystem of clearing firms, ISVs and brokers continues to grow:
-
Clearing firms, ISVs and brokers are some of the most sophisticated participants in the industry, and create the ecosystem through which participants trade on Abaxx Exchange.
-
Connecting to a new exchange requires a substantial investment of time and money, and it continues to make that investment: There are now 11 ISVs connected, with five more in the pipeline; there are now seven clearing firms connected, with 14 more in the pipeline; and there are currently 22 brokers connected to Abaxx Exchange, with 10 more in the pipeline.
Trading activity continues to grow:
-
Abaxx Exchange is building new markets. Like any new market, part of its natural growth to maturity includes low open interest relative to volume, more spread trading and trading being dominated by participants in incentive programs as they create the initial liquidity necessary for commercial participants to trade in these markets.
-
These markets are growing, with June-to-date average daily volume and open interest on the exchange already surpassing May: Through June 19, 2026, the average daily volume on the exchange for June was 16,846 contracts per day, and the average daily open interest was 1,343, compared with 15,092 and 405 for May, which represent an increase of 12 per cent and 232 per cent, respectively.
Abaxx is proud of its high level of engagement and transparency with shareholders. For further investor inquiries, shareholders can e-mail
