“Too often, sophisticated hedge funds have used short selling and complex derivatives to take  advantage of small investors. They will short a company, conduct a negative publicity campaign to  drive the stock price down temporarily and cash out, then do it all over again many times. The term  for this, as you may be aware, is ‘short & distort,’” Elon Musk wrote in his email exchange to CNBC.

As witnessed on Reddit and other social media and forums, especially during the GME short squeeze,  retail shareholders came together, driven by the community’s effort to punish market participants  who make a living shorting and distorting public companies, causing them to stumble and fall.

Founder & CEO’s Conviction Of A Better And Brighter Future

When insiders (and in the case of RGC, its CEO) have consistently bought shares of the company, it  demonstrates their confidence and belief in the company.

Since the listing of RGC on Nasdaq on 16 July 2021, RGC’s CEO has purchased over $5 million of ordinary shares and has not sold any shares. Such percentage of shareholding also gives confidence  to investors and potential investors alike as it is apparent the CEO is confident about the future of the  company.

The CEO is literally putting his money where his mouth is and he will continue to use his personal funds  to purchase company shares to demonstrate his commitment and confidence to the Company and his  position against short and distort sellers. To date, the CEO:-

1. Has personally funded the company and did not pay himself back after IPO;

• RGC’s CEO has continuously funded the Company since its incorporation up to the IPO without bank borrowing.
• He converted his shareholders’ loan of $3.25 million to RGC’s ordinary shares upon listing.

2. Is a listed company CEO who does not draw a salary and bonus; and

• Pledged to not draw salary and bonus of more than US$1 until the Company reaches US$1 billion market capitalisation.
• Reserved share options for all employees except himself.

3. Has showed consistent support.

• Of the 6,296 US-listed companies in 1Q 2022 (as published by Statista) and with reference to CEO share purchases data available on MarketBeat.com, RGC’s CEO is probably the only CEO who does not draw a salary and bonus, reserved share options for all employees  except himself and had continuously purchased more than $5 million worth of his  company’s shares.

Based on Schedule 13G filing with the SEC on 15 December 2021, Digital Mobile Ventures Ltd. is the  second largest shareholder in RGC, holding approximately 7.63% of the total outstanding shares.
