Effect on Taranis Securities

With the distribution of their collective holdings, many McChip and Matachewan shareholders have now become Taranis shareholders. Some of these shareholders are expected to liquidate their positions in the short term. These are extraordinary circumstances, and they appear to have had direct consequences for existing Taranis shareholders. The Board of Taranis would point out to Taranis shareholders that the Company has continued to make significant progress on its Thor project and that the recent large volume of trading in the market is reflective of the internal business practices of McChip and Matachewan rather than material facts pertaining to Taranis' activities. Taranis is not aware of any significant change in its own line of business.

Taranis currently has 103,739,487 shares issued and outstanding (122,608,613 shares on a fully-diluted basis).
