CHARBONE Announces Corporate Update Webinar and Market Maker Engagement

CHARBONE Corporation, a North American producer and distributor specializing in clean Ultra High Purity hydrogen and strategic industrial gases, has announced two significant corporate developments. The company will host a corporate update webinar on December 16th, 2025, at 11:00am ET, and has formally engaged Red Cloud Securities Inc. to provide market making services for its publicly traded securities. These announcements represent strategic initiatives aimed at improving investor relations and ensuring more consistent trading liquidity for the company's stock on the TSX Venture Exchange.

The corporate update webinar will feature presentations from Dave Gagnon, Chairman and CEO, and Benoit Veilleux, CFO. They will provide an overview of the company's operations, market insights regarding clean UHP hydrogen and other industrial gases, recent corporate achievements, and upcoming milestones. Interested parties can register for the webinar via the provided registration link. Following the live presentation, there will be an allotted time for a question-and-answer session. Questions can be submitted in advance through the registration form or via email at [email protected].

Concurrently, CHARBONE has entered into an agreement with Red Cloud Securities, a firm established in 2011 and based in Toronto and Vancouver. The engagement mandates Red Cloud to provide market making services, which involve buying and selling the company's securities to maintain a reasonable and consistent bid and offer spread for CHARBONE's common stock on the TSX Venture Exchange. The services will be performed on a best-efforts basis, with Red Cloud using its own funds and maintaining a variable stock position in CHARBONE throughout the mandate. The primary individual rendering these services will be Mr. Adam Smith, who is acting at arm's length to the company.

Under the terms of the agreement, which is subject to regulatory approval, Red Cloud will receive a monthly fee of $5,000, commencing December 1st, 2025. The contract will continue unless terminated by either party with no less than thirty days' notice. The agreement specifies that no stock options are being granted, and no other compensation is payable in connection with the engagement. Market making services are often sought by publicly traded companies to improve the liquidity and trading stability of their stock, potentially making it more attractive to a broader range of investors by reducing the bid-ask spread and providing more consistent market depth.

For CHARBONE, a company focused on developing a network of clean hydrogen production facilities, including its flagship Sorel-Tracy project in Quebec, these announcements underscore a proactive approach to corporate governance and shareholder communication. The webinar offers a direct channel to update the investment community on progress in the clean energy sector, while the market maker engagement addresses the practical aspects of being a publicly listed entity on junior exchanges. The company's filings and additional information are available on SEDAR at https://www.sedar.com. These steps are important as they demonstrate management's commitment to transparency and to fostering a stable trading environment for its securities as it executes its business plan in the growing clean hydrogen market.
