Coloured Ties will Fight Labrador Gold's Shameful Attempt to Disenfranchise Shareholders

Disenfranchisement: The Company is trying to intimidate shareholders by falsely suggesting lawful dissident proxy votes may not be counted or will be counted at their discretion.Entrenchment over accountability: Rather than defend its record, the Company is attempting to cling to power by undermining shareholder choice and spending more of shareholder cash on flimsy legal strategy and using legal tactics to deny votes against them.Misleading tactics: Casting doubt on dissident proxy cards is a deliberate effort to confuse investors and suppress independent voting.Threat to corporate democracy: Free and fair elections require that all valid shareholder votes be counted—no matter who they support.Shareholders should stand up for their rights and vote only the GOLD proxy or GOLD VIF for much needed change at Labrador. Concerned Shareholders will defend that legal right.VANCOUVER, BC, Feb. 6, 2026 /CNW/ - Coloured Ties Capital Inc. (TSXV:TIE) (OTC:APEOF) (FSE: 97A0) ("Coloured Ties"), one of the largest shareholders of Labrador Gold Corp. (TSX.V: LAB) (OTCQB:NKOSF) (FSE: 2N6) ("Labrador" or the "Company"), together with Kal Malhi and Rauni Malhi (the "Concerned Shareholders", "us" or "we"), strongly condemn recent statements by Labrador suggesting that shareholder votes cast on the GOLD proxy "may" not be counted, calling the maneuver a blatant attempt to intimidate shareholders and undermine the integrity of the corporate governance process. The threat is clear; if they lose, they will refuse to count votes against them. This is a flimsy technical argument that we do not believe is valid, nor is it ethical or acceptable corporate governance. Should the Company deny shareholder votes as threatened, we intend to take all action necessary to enforce the rights of all shareholders and uphold shareholder democracy.By raising spurious and misleading claims about the validity of the GOLD proxy, Labrador is attempting to sow confusion among investors and suppress lawful shareholder participation at a critical moment for the Company. These tactics are not about compliance or clarity — they are about entrenchment.Every shareholder has a fundamental right to have their vote counted, ...Full story available on Benzinga.com
