Company: Riot
What the later record shows
Not a promise: a reported event
The claim reports a stockholder ratification that had already happened when it was made; the meeting date is not given. A later proxy says Marcum LLP, not MNP, performed the audit for the year ended December 31, 2018.
“The Audit Committee previously retained Marcum LLP to serve as the Company’s independent public accounting firm and to perform such audit services for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022.”
