Disclosure

This page is our standing disclosure. It exists so that anyone — investor, regulator, journalist or client — can see exactly how we operate without asking.

1. Who we are and are not

Foundry IR ("Foundry Investor Relations") is a trade name of 9GG LLC, a Wyoming limited liability company. We provide investor-relations and communications services to issuer clients. We are not a registered investment adviser, broker-dealer, exempt market dealer, underwriter, or law firm, in any jurisdiction. We do not provide investment advice, trade securities for clients, or raise capital.

2. How we are paid

Exclusively in cash, as fee-for-service, by the issuer client. We do not accept shares, options, warrants, or any compensation contingent on share price, trading volume, financing outcomes, or market reaction. This exceeds the minimum requirements of TSX Venture Exchange Policy 3.4, which caps option grants to IR providers and prohibits performance-based fees — we simply take none of it.

3. Public engagement disclosure (Canada)

When a TSX Venture Exchange issuer engages us, that engagement is announced by news release and reported to the exchange on Form 3C, both public. Comparable disclosure applies for CSE and TSX issuers under their policies and applicable securities law. Our Canadian client list is therefore a matter of public record — we encourage you to verify it rather than take our word.

4. Content attribution — every channel, both countries

Every piece of content we produce or place on behalf of a client is attributed as issuer-paid communication:

• In Canada, consistent with securities legislation on promotional activity (including the conspicuous-disclosure principle in provisions such as s.52(2) of the BC Securities Act and the guidance context of proposed BC Instrument 51-519) — every asset identifies the issuer on whose behalf it is issued.
• In the United States, consistent with Securities Act §17(b), which requires disclosure of paid promotion — our client content states that it is published on behalf of, and paid for by, the named issuer.

We do not publish anonymous or third-party-voiced promotional content, period. "Sponsored," "paid," and "on behalf of" labels are injected into our production pipeline automatically and verified by a human before release.

5. What our content is

Corporate communication on behalf of disclosed clients: company information, industry context, and factual updates. It is never a recommendation to buy, sell or hold any security, never contains price targets or predictions from us, and is never an offer or solicitation. See Financial Warnings.

6. Conflicts

We may serve multiple issuers in the same sector; clients are told this at engagement. Personnel and contractors are prohibited from trading in client securities during an engagement and for 30 days after it ends. We decline engagements where we conclude the primary objective is price promotion rather than investor communication.

7. Questions

Use the contact form — a partner reads and answers disclosure questions directly.
