(“HPQ” or the “Company”) (TSX-V: HPQ) (FWB: UGE) (OTCQX :HPQFF), an innovative silicon solutions and technology development company, is happy to inform shareholders that it has fulfilled its commitments, first disclosed on September 29, 2021, to submit, by the latest December 31, 2021, an application to the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSX-V”) to change it classification from a Mining Issuer to an Industrial and Technology, or Life Sciences Issuer.
