Whistler Investments, Inc. (WHIS) announces discovery of short
position in excess of 700,000 shares, 12% of DTC position - Correction
LAS VEGAS, NV, June 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Whistler Investments Inc.
(http://www.whistlerinvestments.com/) subsidiaries, R-Electric Car Company
(http://www.r-electriccar.com/) Global Electric Corporation,
(http://www.globalelectric.com/) and Solium Power Corp
(http://www.soliumpower.com/) emerging leaders in the development and marketing
of lithium ion vehicles and lithium ion powered products worldwide, announced
today that as we have previously communicated with our stockholders concerning
the unauthorized listing of Whistler's common stock on the Berlin Stock
Exchange, we took steps to delist our stock from that exchange, and advised our
stockholders that, because of the Berlin Stock Exchange's policy permitting
"naked" short sales, to make sure that they received delivery of any stock they
purchased. The Company has extended its arrangements with its Transfer Agent to
pay for all deliveries to June 30, 2004.
Following the delisting of our stock from the Berlin exchange, we had concerns
about the potential aftermath of this unauthorized listing. We conducted our
own investigation and as of June 2, 2004, have found the following:
According to our transfer agent records, we have 5,504,680 shares held by DTC,
but the ADP broker search indicates 6,217,458 shares being reported by
broker/dealers as being held on behalf of their customers, indicating a short
position of more than 700,000 shares. A summary report can be viewed at
http://whistlerinvestments.com/shorts.html
We have therefore commenced work with DTC for a formal review of the reported
excessive broker/dealer holdings of our stock so that we can conduct our
corporate affairs properly in view of our planned stockholders meeting and
other upcoming corporate matters. We again advise our stockholders to make sure
that they receive delivery of any shares that they purchase, and also that
their stock is not being borrowed without authorization.
Holly Roseberry, President of Whistler Investments states "We intend to get to
the bottom of the excessive short position and bring stability back into the
trading of our stock. We're happy to say that we have 5,133 stockholders and we
expect all our stockholders to benefit from the shorters having to cover their
short positions.
