MediPharm Labs Responds to Fabricated Allegations from Dissident Shareholder
TORONTO, May 29, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MediPharm Labs Corp. (TSX: LABS) (OTCQB: MEDIF) (FSE:MLZ) (“MediPharm” or the “Company”), a pharmaceutical company specialized in precision-based cannabinoids, today confirmed that the Company is aware of the news release issued by Apollo Technology Capital Corporation (“Apollo”) on May 29, 2025 making baseless allegations of malfeasance against the Company.
These patently false allegations have been intentionally or recklessly fabricated as part of the campaign of misinformation employed by Apollo and its Chairman and CEO, Regan McGee in their bid to distract and mislead the Company’s shareholders and parlay their 3% ownership position into total control of MediPharm’s Board of Directors.
MediPharm recently completed a full year-end audit with MNP LLP and received a clean audit opinion dated March 30, 2025, as it has in all previous fiscal years since becoming a public company. Public companies are not required to audit their quarterly financial results nor is it market practice to do so. The Company complies fully with International Financial Reporting Standards and its continuous disclosure obligations pursuant to Canadian securities law.
MediPharm has commenced legal proceedings this week to address, in part, material misstatements Apollo has been making and has asked the court to award its costs.
