HALIFAX, NS / ACCESSWIRE / June 29, 2023 / Meta Materials Inc. (the "Company" or "META®") (NASDAQ:MMAT)(FSE:MMAT), an advanced materials and nanotechnology company applauds ChristianAttar (the "Firm") (previously known as Christian, Smith & Jewell), a preeminent law firm specializing in securities litigation, for joining forces with Warshaw Burstein and Partner Alan Pollack in helping investigate allegations of naked short selling of Meta Materials' stock. Wes Christian and Alan Pollack have worked together in securities litigation for over 15 years, forming a formidable team in fighting against illegal trading practices.
"This engagement reflects our commitment to protecting investors and maximizing shareholder value," said George Palikaras, President and CEO of Meta Materials Inc. "We are excited to work with a group of seasoned legal experts and advisors such as ChristianAttar and Warshaw Burstein."
"We are honored to be chosen by Meta Materials for this critically important task.

The scale and complexity warrant exhaustive investigation, and we are prepared to relentlessly pursue justice for META and its shareholders," said Wes Christian. "Our mission is to expose any illicit activities and seek remedies that protect Meta Materials and its shareholders. We value the trust META has placed in us and are committed to working assiduously towards securing a fair and just resolution."
