Summary
Level Up Media Group is a paid investor engagement firm. Public companies and other parties pay us to communicate about them. Content we publish or distribute about a security for compensation discloses that we were paid, who paid, how much, and the period covered. Nothing we publish is investment advice. Investing in small-cap and microcap securities is high risk, and you can lose your entire investment.
Not investment advice
All content on this Site and in materials we publish or distribute, including articles, posts, videos, newsletters, emails, and social media content (together, “Content”), is for informational purposes only. It is not investment, financial, legal, accounting, or tax advice, and it is not a recommendation or an offer or solicitation to buy or sell any security. Content does not consider your personal financial situation, objectives, or risk tolerance. Do your own research, read the company’s public filings, and consult a licensed financial adviser before making any investment decision.
Regulatory status
Level Up Media Group LLC is not registered as a broker-dealer, investment adviser, or research analyst with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), any state securities regulator, or any Canadian securities regulator. We do not sell securities, hold client funds or securities, make investment recommendations, solicit investors for securities offerings, or receive compensation based on securities transactions.
Compensation disclosure (Section 17(b))
Section 17(b) of the Securities Act of 1933 makes it unlawful to publicize a security in exchange for compensation from an issuer, underwriter, or dealer without fully disclosing the receipt of that compensation, past or prospective, and its amount. We follow that rule and go further:
- Any Content we publish or distribute about a security for which we have received, or expect to receive, compensation from any party discloses that compensation, the party that paid it, the amount (and, for securities, the number and type), and the period the engagement covers.
- The disclosure appears in or directly alongside the Content, or in a clearly labeled link to a campaign disclosure page.
- Compensation may be paid by the company, a shareholder, or another third party. If a third party pays, we disclose that party, and where known, whether it holds shares it may sell.
- Compensation in cash and in securities are both disclosed. Receiving compensation creates a conflict of interest, and you should consider it when reading any paid Content.
Creators, publishers, and endorsements
Some campaigns use third-party creators, newsletter publishers, and media outlets. We require them to clearly disclose their compensation and their connection to the company in every paid post, consistent with Section 17(b) and the Federal Trade Commission’s Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising. Their opinions are their own and do not necessarily reflect ours.
Securities positions
Level Up Media Group, its members, employees, and contractors may own, or receive as compensation, securities of companies discussed in Content. Any such ownership or compensation in securities is disclosed in the relevant Content as described above. We do not use material nonpublic information, and we require personnel to comply with applicable securities laws, including insider trading and anti-fraud rules.
Sources and accuracy
Content is based on information the company has made public, such as filings, press releases, and presentations, and on other sources we believe to be reliable. We do not independently audit or verify that information and make no representation or warranty about its accuracy or completeness. Information may change after publication, and we have no obligation to update it. Always check the company’s latest filings on SEC EDGAR or SEDAR+.
Forward-looking statements
Content may include forward-looking statements about future events, plans, or performance, often identified by words such as “expects,” “plans,” “believes,” “anticipates,” “may,” and “will.” These statements are based on current expectations and assumptions and involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance, and you should not rely on them. We undertake no obligation to update them, except as required by law.
Risks of small-cap and microcap securities
Securities of small and microcap companies, including those quoted on OTC Markets or listed on venture exchanges, can be thinly traded, highly volatile, and subject to dilution. Some have limited public information. Promotional activity can coincide with sharp price movements that may not last. You can lose some or all of your investment. Learn more at the SEC’s investor education site, Investor.gov.
No guarantee of results
We do not promise or guarantee any share price, trading volume, market capitalization, financing outcome, or other result for any company, and we do not publish price targets or predictions. Past results, case studies, and examples are not indicative of future results.
Canadian investors and issuers
Canadian securities regulators also regulate promotional activity, and some provinces have specific disclosure requirements for paid promotion of securities. When Content concerns a Canadian issuer or is directed at Canadian investors, we follow applicable Canadian requirements in addition to the practices above.
