Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure

 

On December 20, 2022, FingerMotion, Inc. (the “Company” or “FingerMotion”) issued a news release to announce that it has entered into a service agreement with ShareIntel-Shareholder Intelligence Services, LLC (“ShareIntel”) to further assist The Christian Levine Law Group, as well as Warshaw Burstein, LLP (“Christian Warshaw Group”), each already retained by the Company, to review the trading history of the Company’s common stock for the past two years and to track same going forward. ShareIntel utilizes a patented process called DRIL-Down to aggregate and analyze repository data from reporting entities, broker-dealers and shareholders enabling FingerMotion Inc. to proactively track shareholder ownership, identify parties to suspicious, aberrant or unusual trading activity and deploy corrective action steps to help curtail such activity. Christian Warshaw Group has been pursuing investment banking and brokerage firms on Wall Street for over 20 years for illegal naked short selling, which is a sophisticated form of stock manipulation. The Company believes it may have been the target of a market manipulation scheme involving illegal naked short selling of its common stock over the last two years and has decided to investigate and expose any wrongdoing.

 

“It is obvious when our stock trades in multiples of the outstanding shares in a single day that the markets’ checks and balances failed,” said Martin Shen, CEO of FingerMotion Inc. “Since we know that the trading in our stock was irregular, it is our duty to our shareholders to understand the magnitude of the issue and we will leverage ShareIntel’s patented processes and proprietary analytics to find reporting anomalies among market makers, banks, broker-dealers and clearing firms. ShareIntel also has the ability to track share ownership and identify any suspicious, aberrant and or unusual trading activity, which supports our continuing commitment to protect our investors and maximize shareholder value. Based on the pedigree of our investigating firms we believe they will be able to help prove whether or not our Company is and or has been the subject and victim of illegal naked short selling.”

 

“We have the hands-on experience to identify parties that have potentially engaged in illegal naked short selling. We work in parallel with The Christian Levine Law Group to implement action to address such activity,” said David Wenger, President and Chief Executive Officer of ShareIntel.
