VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / May 21, 2021 / Core One Labs Inc. (CSE:COOL)(OTC PINK:CLABF)(Frankfurt:LD62, WKN:A2P8K3) (the "Company" or "Core One"). This news release is issued at the request of the Investment Industry Regulatory Organization of Canada ("IIROC") and the Canadian Securities Exchange ("CSE"). Statements made in the news release issued by the Company on May 4, 2021 indicated that the Company had been made aware of potentially manipulative trading activity in its common shares. The news release issued on May 4, 2021 was not reviewed by IIROC or the CSE prior to dissemination, and to date the Company has not filed a formal complaint with any regulatory authority regarding this trading activity.

While the Company has analyzed trading activity in the period leading up to the issuance of the news release on May 4, 2021, conclusive evidence has not been uncovered to determine whether manipulative activity resulted in a depreciation of the Company's share price. The Company notes that other factors may have contributed to, or resulted in, the price depreciation experienced by the Company during this time period.

The final report of the Capital Markets Modernization Taskforce, an independent taskforce established by the Province of Ontario, concludes that the current regulatory regime in Canada surrounding short selling is not stringent enough to ensure that appropriate steps are taken to confirm that adequate securities are available to settle short sale orders.
