Why put there in the first place? C'mon, lazyeye, you've been following this stock for a while, I shouldn't have to explain this.
That press release came out when people were claiming the AH were being caused by the company selling stock directly into the open market. The statement was obviously made to inform investors this was not the case.
The statement also indicated that Hemi was holding their own shares and not selling. A very valuable statement... shows they themselves believe in what they are doing and the future growth of their business.
For those who understand market terminology, it was NOT a misleading statement in any way at all. It was a factual statement and one made to inform investors.
And, for crying out loud, the next sentence indicted they issued shares so to try and say this statement was misleading and suspicious is kinda silly :-)
