About The CEO - Richard C Hawkins - Quotes In 1st PR [source: PRs September 10 and November 3, 2026]
- Mastermind behind $AGCI $AEFI $MIXE $AMFN and now $NUGS.
- "I am a staunch advocate for shareholders, and this Company [$NUGS] was brought back to a clean, current corporate footing for their benefit."
- "My thesis is straightforward: I take quality companies with disruptive technology public through shells that had a storied past and were then abandoned, restore them, and finance them responsibly, with the goal of becoming SEC reporting and uplisting to a major exchange."
- "For too long, development-stage companies were listed on an exchange prematurely and then diluted through toxic financing, with retail investors bearing the cost. I am endeavoring to do the inverse, starting on the OTC and methodically achieving the milestones that build value."
- "I want to make the OTC great again."
- "We rebuilt this company through the courts so shareholders would have something real to build on” - “Scopien is the kind of company we hoped to find.”

Trading After Coming Off EM
On August 27, 2026 - 1st day off EM - opened .0090 - hod .0899 - closed .0162 on 25M traded.
While on EM, there were 176 beneficial shareholders [source: otcmarkets.com], so any pre-EM holders who wanted to exit had ample opportunity to do so and probably didn't even realize $NUGS was now a Richard C Hawkins ticker as a number posted they had no idea why it was moving.
A number of traders who bought on August 27, 2026 undoubtedly chased to get at least a starter position knowing that it was a Hawkins reverse merger ticker which hadn't yet PR'ed the takeover and debt elimination, let alone the new business
On August 28, 2026, a number of significant, top OTC traders caught up with developments and were scaling in all day - all of it at prices slightly cheaper than the close the previous day - mainly through large ask buying - especially when calling the bluff of MMs who walked down asks in attempts to get bids fills and who lost their shares on the ask almost immediately.
Since then trading was thin until the November 3, 2026 PR - mostly at prices under .01.
Catalysts Ahead
Expect to see:
- Update to the Company Profile / Business Description at otcmarkets.com - the cannabis business shown was abandoned under previous ownership [source: 2026 Q2 Report]
- Further PRs on a regular basis updating on the new business direction and action plan - leading to surges, excellent trading opportunities and large spreads when bidders get left behind:
-- Change of control.
-- Appointment of new officers and directors.
-- Name change and ticker change.
-- Completion of PCAOB audit.
-- Filing registration with SEC to become a fully reporting company.
-- Uplisted to NASDAQ or NYSE.

=================================================================================================
Not a financial advisor - just stating what I'm basing my trading decisions on.
I will be holding some $NUGS in my portfolio throughout 2026 and into future years for the long-term, trading some on surges from the bottom up too and reloading on any dips.
