Exhibit 99.1
FINRA APPROVES NAME CHANGE / TICKER CHANGE TO “FOMO CORP. / FOMC”
Chicago IL, May 7, 2021 – FOMO CORP. (https://www.fomoworldwide.com/ - US OTC: FOMC) is pleased to announce that it has received confirmation from FINRA (the “Financial Industry Regulatory Authority” corporation) that the pending Company name change and ticker change to “FOMO CORP. / FOMC” from “2050 Motors, Inc. / ETFM” will be effective today, May 7, 2021, on or around the market open.
This corporate action opens a new chapter for the company as it allows FOMO to shed the connection to its prior business, which had nothing to do with today’s focus on technology business incubation and acceleration launched two years ago. Management believes the move is a watershed event and will eliminate confusion among existing and future stakeholders. The Company continues to perform due diligence on announced and planned acquisitions, is reviewing potential investments in other technology businesses, and is in discussions with institutional investors and advisors to finance growth, though there can be no assurances.
Said Dr. Wayman Baker, PhD, FOMO’s EVP for Corporate Development and Investor Relations: “I am proud to have had a role in completing this corporate action and would like to thank our legal counsel and the analyst and committee at FINRA who most recently handled our case for their dedication and professionalism.”
Vik Grover, CEO of FOMO, commented: “Completing this corporate action is a major step for FOMO as we seek to expand our investment portfolio, which today is heavily focused on capabilities in Clean Technology that make buildings smarter, healthier, and more energy efficient but also has a sizable pipeline under review. This event was several months in the making, and I would like to thank our teammates and advisors for their assistance and our shareholders for their patience. Now more than ever, we are laser focused on the future and I am excited for what will come next.”
In other corporate news, the March 31, 2021 quarterly financials are being reviewed by FOMO’s audit firm and are on schedule to be filed by the May 17, 2021 deadline, though there can be no assurances. Federal and State tax returns for fiscal years 2018, 2019, and 2020 will soon be filed, substantiating a significant net operating loss carry forward (“NOL”) which will potentially be a valuable tax offset in 2021-2022+ while strengthening FOMO’s financial reporting.”
