TradingScreen Statement

Date 13/10/2017

"Both the Chairman of the Board and the CEO of TradingScreen strongly contest the allegations repeated in your article of October 11th. Every allegation made is false, baseless, and meritless, and has been propagated by the company's disgruntled former CEO, who was fired by the Board for cause last year after intentionally hitting an employee in front of numerous witnesses and attempting to cover it up, as well as for other corporate malfeasance. This individual neither is a majority shareholder of TradingScreen nor does he represent a majority of shareholders or even speak for the majority of shareholders. Thus, the standing he claims is totally false. Just because he claims it, does not make it so.
