COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., Oct. 16, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- PetroTerra Corp. (OTCQB: PTRA)("PetroTerra" or "the Company"), an independent oil and gas exploration company currently focused on the Sevier and Beaver Oil Project in west central Utah, announces today the below statement regarding promotional activities surrounding the Company's common stock.
On October 14, 2015, OTC Markets informed the Company that it has become aware of certain promotional activities concerning PetroTerra and its common stock. Included among the activities were certain promotional newsletter emails encouraging investors to purchase the Company's common stock. The mailer's disclaimer in these promotional newsletters indicated that an entity, Mass Peak Ltd., was paid $150,000 for the creation and distribution of these newsletters to their member base. This promotional activity coincided with higher than average trading volume and fluctuations in the Company's stock price. The Company is unaware of the full nature and content of this promotional activity, and who may be responsible and the extent of the email newsletters' dissemination.
The Company states definitively that the Company, its officers, directors and, to the Company's knowledge, any controlling shareholders (i.e., shareholders owning 10% or more of the Company's securities) have not, directly or indirectly, authorized or been involved in any way (including payment to a third-party) with the creation or distribution of promotional materials including these email newsletters; and that the Company, its officers, directors and, to the knowledge of the Company, any controlling shareholders, have not sold or purchased the Company's securities within the past two years.
"For the record, the Company is not affiliated with the promotional materials' author or its affiliated entities or persons. The Company's recent press releases have reported on and provided disclosure of legitimate and ongoing corporate activity only, and are not part of any promotional activities or campaign," stated John Barton, CEO of PetroTerra. The Company is solely focused on executing its stated business plan. Because the oil and gas exploration business has numerous and significant risks, PetroTerra encourages those interested in the Company to rely solely on information included in official Company press releases, Website content, and filings and disclosures made with the Securities and Exchange Commission. For a more comprehensive discussion of the risks surrounding trading of our common stock, including the risk posed by the lack of an active, liquid market, investors should refer to the "risk factors" listed in the Company's most recent annual report (Form 10-K).
The Company further notes that, as disclosed in the Company's annual and quarterly reports filed with the SEC, the Company has not issued at any point convertible instruments allowing conversion to equity securities at prices constituting a discount to the market rate of our common stock.
PetroTerra Corp. (OTCQB: PTRA) is an independent oil and gas exploration company based in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
