Statements by Anonymous Short Seller
GLOBE NEWSWIRE, 02 March 2018
On February 28, the market price of Crius Energy Trust (“Crius Energy” the “Company” or the “Trust”) (TSX:KWH.UN) units declined significantly in response to false and misleading statements made in a blog posting by an anonymous, self-described short seller of our Trust units (the “Short Seller”). While it is not the Company’s practice to respond to bloggers or commenters in investor forums, we believe that given the magnitude of the impact on the price of our units as well as the malicious nature of the statements made by the Short Seller, it is in the best interests of our unitholders for us to respond. Furthermore, Crius Energy believes that it has identified the persons and entities responsible for the blog post. The Trust intends to take appropriate measures, both in the courts and with appropriate securities regulatory authorities, to address the harm done to our unitholders.
