Gorilla Technology Group Hires Global Economics Group for Due Diligence, Advancing in Battle Against Illegal Short Selling; Takes Aggressive Action to Defend Stock from Manipulation
August 08 2023 - 8:10AM
Gorilla Technology Group Inc. (“Gorilla”) (NASDAQ: GRRR), a global
provider of AI-based edge video analytics, IoT technologies, and
cybersecurity, today addressed the price volatility in trading of
its stock, which the company suspects is due in large part to
illegal manipulation.
Gorilla Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Jay Chandan made
the following statement:
“Since the merger last summer that took Gorilla public, we have
suspected that the volatile trading in our stock was due to more
than simple ‘market action’. Huge moves in our share price were
often completely unrelated to any news about the company, its
sector or its competitors. Over the past few months, we have
employed many resources to investigate our suspicions, and now have
gathered sufficient evidence of wrongdoing that we feel compelled
to warn the public.”
“Most importantly, an investigation by an economic analysis firm
with expertise in suspicious trading activity has uncovered
compelling evidence suggesting manipulation of our share price.
Furthermore, our own review of communications with several of our
large shareholders has uncovered evidence of illegal attempts to
extort below-market sales of our shares, as well as evidence of
illegal attempts at collusion to take activist actions that we
believe would harm the company.”
“Today we are putting the suspected bad actors on notice. We
know what you have been doing, and we will not sit still and allow
you to attempt to destroy our company to enrich yourselves. We will
vigorously employ all the tools at our disposal to stop you. I come
from a humble background and I am well aware of what it takes to
make a single dollar. My heart aches when I see erosion in the
value of our shareholders, both retail and institutional, our
employees and all good people who believe in Gorilla to becoming a
thriving success.”
“Gorilla is an edge AI security convergence company at the
beginning stage of material global business growth. Our recently
signed contract with the government of Egypt, along with other
projects, gives us visibility on up to $300 million of revenue over
the next three years, and we continue to build pipeline of other
business globally. This is a dramatic change in the profile of the
company, and shows the scale of project that we can now service for
a larger customer base. The material global business win is a
result of the efforts and contributions of our new leadership team.
To protect our shareholder value, we stand strong to investigate
thoroughly any unlawful attacks from illicit traders that are
contributing nothing to our success but rather attempting to harm
the company’s growth. We remain confident that we will grow Gorilla
into a successful global business in the edge AI security industry
in the years ahead.”
