Thunderbird Sets the Record Straight Regarding an Untrue Assertion by Voss Capital

VANCOUVER, British Columbia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Thunderbird Entertainment Group Inc. (TSXV: TBRD, OTCQX: THBRF) (“Thunderbird” or “the Company”) today set the record straight regarding an untrue assertion by Voss Capital, LLC (“Voss”) in its information circular filed on November 9, 2022.

Thunderbird calls on Voss to publicly retract its false and misleading claim, which is that Voss has the support of Frank Giustra, a member of the Thunderbird Board of Directors and one of the Company’s largest shareholders.

Thunderbird confirms that Mr. Giustra intends to stand for re-election as part of the Company’s slate at the next Annual General Meeting of shareholders. Further, Mr. Giustra intends to vote the shares that he controls, amounting to 6,320,963 shares or 12.8% of the issued and outstanding shares, for Thunderbird’s director nominees.

“I support Thunderbird’s strategy and, contrary to Voss’s claim, I do not intend to vote against myself and my fellow directors,” said Mr. Giustra. “Even though Voss never contacted me, it is wrongly asserting that it has my endorsement. It does not.”

Mr. Giustra brings deep industry experience to his work guiding and supporting the Company’s strategic direction. Given the significance of Voss’s inaccurate claim, Thunderbird urges it to publicly correct it immediately.
