Figure Markets, in collaboration with Veton Vejseli, seeks access to Ionic Digital records for investigation under Section 220 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. Concerns include potential self-dealing and actions disadvantageous to shareholders. Specific areas of inquiry involve agreements with Hut 8 Corp, excessive Board compensation, trading restrictions, and delays in stock registration.

Citing possible self-prioritization by the Board over shareholder interests, Figure Markets aims to improve Ionic’s management through a special shareholder meeting. A grassroots social media campaign successfully garners support from 29% of shareholders, challenging the current Board’s actions. This effort seeks to restore shareholder democracy by addressing potential misconduct and perceived negligence.

Figure Markets emphasizes urgency in accessing Ionic’s records to investigate misconduct and assess the Board’s fiduciary duties. Concerned about shareholders losing their voice in governance, Figure Markets and Vejseli urge the Board to collaborate constructively in response to shareholder concerns. The request aims to hold the Board accountable and restore shareholder democracy at Ionic.
