Public Notice Regarding False Claims of Ownership or Directorship

Public Notice Regarding False Claims of Ownership or Directorship It has come to our attention that multiple individuals are falsely claiming to be directors or owners of our company. We want to make it absolutely clear: No individuals from Colombia or any other country have ever owned or been authorized to represent this company. We do not have any business partnerships with any external parties. Certain former employees have used their company email addresses and confidential company information without our consent to misrepresent themselves as directors. These individuals are now reportedly operating under new company names in other states — including Arizona, Florida, and Texas — and falsely claiming that our registration was hacked. This is completely untrue. We strongly urge anyone dealing with these individuals to exercise caution and conduct thorough research. The only legitimate owners of this company are those officially registered with the State of California. If you have any concerns or need to verify legitimate communications, please contact us directly. Thank you. Our trading team has many years of experience working with government owned producers, leading oil traders and energy multinationals. This has given us critical insight into how to put together deals, assess risks and advise on trading issues and the financing, transport and supply of oil and gas. We advise on trading and operational disputes, covering matters of quality, quantity, contamination and shortage, and on letter of credit disputes and contracts for physical sale and purchase. Our derivatives practice has grown out of our traditional strengths in the international trading market. Management of commodity price, freight, currency exchange and interest risks have become an everyday part of this sophisticated market. We also advise on a wide range of derivatives products. Oil is one of the world's most traded commodities and presents many challenges, not least the close association between the oil price and the politics of some of the world’s most volatile regions. This instability continues to contribute to the high level of market speculation in relation to pricing and future availability.
