Tingo Group, Inc.’s Legal Counsel to Investigate Financial Institution Accused of Falsely Marketing an Equity Fundraise and Examine Unusual Stock Price Volatility

MONTVALE, N.J., June 01, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Tingo Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: TIO) (“Tingo” or the “Company”) announced today that it has become aware of credible evidence that a New York based financial institution (the “NY Financial Institution”) has been soliciting investors with an offer of the Company’s securities with the pretence of a fund raise, which was in direct contravention of the Company’s explicit wishes. For the avoidance of all doubt, the Company is not planning any placement, offering, or issuance of the Company’s equity securities. The Company has expressly instructed the NY Financial Institution not to conduct any such solicitation and also demanded that it notify all the parties solicited to date and inform them that the Company is not planning any form of equity fundraising.

As announced on May 30, 2023, the Company’s export business, operated through wholly owned subsidiary Tingo DMCC, completed its first batch of export deals generating USD $348 million of sales, with a gross profit approaching USD $100 million. The announcement also stated that Tingo DMCC has USD $1 billion of additional export transactions as part of an anticipated multi-billion-dollar long-term pipeline of business that is currently being processed for delivery by the end of the third quarter of 2023. For the avoidance of doubt, these export transactions do not require the Company to raise any equity funding. Furthermore, the export business is expected to dollarize the entire amount of Tingo Group’s net income on a monthly basis by the end of 2023.

The recent high levels of volatility in the Company’s stock price, together with the significant increase in instances of false and malicious allegations on certain bulletin boards, social media accounts and websites, are currently being investigated by Warshaw Burstein LLP and Christian Attar Law, as part of the wider market manipulation investigation that was announced by the Company on February 7, 2023. Legal Counsel are also now conducting a full investigation of any potential claims the Company may have against the NY Financial Institution and others in relation to the false marketing of an equity raise. To the extent any shareholders believe they have been negatively impacted by potential stock manipulation or other unlawful conduct that harmed the Company, they should contact info@tingogroup.com.

Darren Mercer, Chief Executive Officer of Tingo, commented: “We believe that the false marketing by this financial institution has had a materially negative impact on our share price, including on Tuesday, May 30, 2022, when we issued the announcement of our significant export transactions and export deal pipeline. Our lawyers have been instructed to investigate the actions of the financial institution and their associates and also provide an assessment of the damages caused to both the Company and to its shareholders.

“The two law firms have extensive experience, and have achieved much success, representing companies in bringing claims against financial institutions for, among other things, breach of various rules and regulations, breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, perpetration of stock manipulation, and other securities violations.”
