About Cabling Installation & Maintenance

Our mission: Bringing practical business and technical intelligence to today's structured cabling professionals

For more than 30 years, Cabling Installation & Maintenance has provided useful, practical information to professionals responsible for the specification, design, installation and management of structured cabling systems serving enterprise, data center and other environments. These professionals are challenged to stay informed of constantly evolving standards, system-design and installation approaches, product and system capabilities, technologies, as well as applications that rely on high-performance structured cabling systems. Our editors synthesize these complex issues into multiple information products. This portfolio of information products provides concrete detail that improves the efficiency of day-to-day operations, and equips cabling professionals with the perspective that enables strategic planning for networks’ optimum long-term performance.

Throughout our annual magazine, weekly email newsletters and 24/7/365 website, Cabling Installation & Maintenance digs into the essential topics our audience focuses on.

  • Design, Installation and Testing: We explain the bottom-up design of cabling systems, from case histories of actual projects to solutions for specific problems or aspects of the design process. We also look at specific installations using a case-history approach to highlight challenging problems, solutions and unique features. Additionally, we examine evolving test-and-measurement technologies and techniques designed to address the standards-governed and practical-use performance requirements of cabling systems.
  • Technology: We evaluate product innovations and technology trends as they impact a particular product class through interviews with manufacturers, installers and users, as well as contributed articles from subject-matter experts.
  • Data Center: Cabling Installation & Maintenance takes an in-depth look at design and installation workmanship issues as well as the unique technology being deployed specifically for data centers.
  • Physical Security: Focusing on the areas in which security and IT—and the infrastructure for both—interlock and overlap, we pay specific attention to Internet Protocol’s influence over the development of security applications.
  • Standards: Tracking the activities of North American and international standards-making organizations, we provide updates on specifications that are in-progress, looking forward to how they will affect cabling-system design and installation. We also produce articles explaining the practical aspects of designing and installing cabling systems in accordance with the specifications of established standards.

Brag House Continues Action to Protect Stockholders Against Potential Illegal Naked Short Selling

NEW YORK, May 14, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Brag House Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: TBH) (“Brag House” or the “Company”), the premier Gen Z engagement platform that operates at the intersection of gaming, college sports, and social interaction, today announced an update on its investigation into recent trading activity in its stock. With assistance from its outside advisors, the Company’s investigation has identified preliminary data suggesting the Company may have been the subject of illegal naked short selling. Accordingly, today the Company sent letters to the SEC, FINRA, and Nasdaq regarding these preliminary findings and requested they open an immediate investigation into the suspected trading activity.

Naked short sales take time to verify, but preliminary financial indicators cause the Company to believe that abusive naked short selling may have occurred. Naked short selling is illegal and damages stockholder value in a company by artificially pushing its stock price down. Common indicators of abusive naked short selling include unusually high trading volume, high financing rates to borrow stock, and persistent failures to deliver that culminate in significant downward pressure on a company’s stock price.

On March 31, 2025, the Company’s stock closed at $6.61 and subsequently closed at $1.27 on April 1, 2025, an 80.79% decrease in the Company’s stock price in one trading day. The Company has identified a large trade on April 1, 2025, that the Company believes may have triggered subsequent naked short selling, potentially by certain funds and traders. Moreover, based on settlement data the Company received from DTC, the Company did not see anywhere near the quantity of the settlement of shares that it expected to see based on the large number of shares that traded on April 1, 2025. The Company believes this lack of settlement of shares may be evidence of naked short selling.

On each of April 1, 2, and 3, 2025, the total volume of shares traded nearly equaled the Company's public float. Specifically, on April 1, 2025, the trading volume was nearly three times the size of the shares of its initial public offering. Because of this unusually high trading activity, there were a total of nine trading halts in the Company’s stock on April 1, 2025. In addition, the Company appeared on Nasdaq’s circuit breaker list on both April 1 and April 2, 2025. Meanwhile, financing rates to borrow Brag House’s stock averaged over 115% in the month of April 2025 making it extremely expensive to borrow the Company’s stock which is often an indicator of a high demand to borrow the stock. Brag House stock was also subject to persistent failures to deliver in the second half of March and the first week of April 2025.

The Company has observed persistent discrepancies between the shares that are reported as beneficially owned by non-objecting beneficial owners (NOBOs) and objecting beneficial owners (OBOs) to Broadridge and other similar institutions and the shares that are reported to the Depository Trust Company. While minor occasional discrepancies can result from reporting delays or clerical errors, persistent discrepancies in beneficial ownership can imply that there may be fictious shares circulating in the market. The presence of fictious shares in the market would artificially increase the supply of shares available for short selling and may help facilitate naked short selling.

Brag House is not aware of any material undisclosed information or corporate developments that contributed to the decline in its stock price or unusually high trading volume. Taken together, the Company believes that the pricing volatility in the Company’s stock, unusual trading volume, high financing rates to borrow the Company’s stock, multiple halts to trading, and persistent failures to deliver form a compelling pattern indicative of artificial selling pressure and suggests the presence of illegal naked short selling.

Despite the turmoil in the Company’s stock price, Brag House is continuing to execute on its strategic initiatives to redefine digital engagement for casual college gamers and the brands that seek to connect with them, including our recent announcement of our partnership with Learfield. The Company continues to focus on scaling its platform, enhancing user experience, and expanding its data-driven brand partnerships to create deeper, more meaningful connections with Gen Z. The Company believes its strategy is working as Brag House is expanding its platform’s capabilities, refining its data-driven insights for brand partners, and fostering a digital community that resonates with casual gamers. Brag House remains confident in its strategic plan and the various initiatives it is executing on to create stockholder value.

A copy of the form of letter sent to the SEC, FINRA, and Nasdaq was filed with the SEC as an exhibit to the Company’s Form 8-K filed on May 14, 2025.

No stockholder action is required at this time.
