Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - March 13, 2024) - Ciscom Corp. (CSE: CISC) (OTCQB: CISCF) is in the process of consulting with its advisors and regulatory authorities to ascertain the necessity of activating its Shareholder Rights Plan. This action is in direct response to the assertion by DLT Resolution Inc. that it has escalated its ownership in Ciscom from 19.9% to an alleged 42.05%. The legitimacy of this claim is under scrutiny, and the outcome may influence whether the Plan will be activated, based on a thorough evaluation of DLT's reported increase in shareholding.

Ciscom challenges DLT's alleged share ownership increase as both unqualified and unlawful, raising serious concerns about the accuracy of DLT's public disclosures. The Company strongly disputes DLT's reported 42.05% ownership claim, citing discrepancies with the current records of shares held in escrow, brokerages, and on the TSX. These concerns have been formally reported to the Ontario Securities Commission and the Canadian Securities Exchange.

The Company also highlights DLT's numerous failures to comply with the necessary early warning, takeover bid regulations, and SEDI reporting requirements, which are crucial for shareholder protection and legal compliance.

In light of the unresolved ownership claims by DLT, the board of directors of Ciscom is exercising its discretion to delay activation of the Plan which would otherwise have been triggered at the 25% ownership level. In addition, it cannot be assumed that DLT has the right to vote the shares it claims to have acquired and thereby is not necessarily in a position to elect directors or otherwise influence the board of directors of Ciscom. The review of the actions taken by DLT and assessment of the application of the Plan is ongoing and further announcements will be made.

Ciscom Evaluates Activation of Shareholder Rights Plan
Ciscom strongly cautions its shareholders in any dealings with DLT and, in particular, advises against tendering their shares to DLT, highlighting the risk of substantial value dilution and raising questions about DLT's adherence to legal and regulatory requirements. The company flags DLT's financial opaqueness and the dubious feasibility of its planned acquisitions and business strategies.

Concerns extend to DLT's governance, highlighting its single-person control, limited liquidity due to its OTC Pink market listing, and unmet commitments to financial robustness and governance expansion, underscoring the myriad of risks associated with DLT's disclosures and acquisition proposals.

Investors are cautioned not to proceed with DLT's recommendations without independent professional advice from qualified advisors.
