In response to recent proclamations from Canadian health authorities and the challenges resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company has taken the necessary precautions to protect the health and safety of its employees and the public. Accordingly, the Company’s staff as well as its auditor’s staff have been working from home. While working remotely, the coordination of tasks and work product has been more difficult, the completion of audit procedures due to limited access to paper based supporting evidence has been delayed, and the entire audit process has been slowed.
The challenges posed by COVID-19 have resulted in a delay in the finalization and filing of the Annual Filings. However, the Company’s board of directors and its management confirm that they are working expeditiously to meet Company’s obligations related to the filing of the Annual Filings. At this time, the Company anticipates being able to complete the Annual Filings before June 15, 2020.
The Company confirms that there have been no material changes that have occurred to the Company subsequent to the filing of its Financial Statements and MD&A for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 on November 18, 2019, other than what has been press released and posted on SEDAR on November 19, 2019.
The Company confirms that its management and other insiders are subject to an insider trading black-out-policy that reflects the principles in section 9 of the National Policy 11-207. Failure-to-File Cease Trade Orders and Revocations in Multiple Jurisdictions, such that they are in a blackout period until the end of the second trading day after the Annual Filings have been disclosed by way of a news release.
