Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – June 9, 2020) – Core One Labs Inc. (CSE: COOL) (OTCQX: CLABF) (FSE: LD6) (WKN: A14XHT) (“COOL” or the “Company“) announced today that it anticipates additional delays in filing its financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 and the related management’s discussion and analysis (“MD&A”) and certifications (the “Annual Filings”). The Company is filing an application with the relevant securities authorities requesting that they issue a management cease trade order (an “MCTO”).
As previously announced, the Company had relied upon the blanket relief provided by the Canadian Securities Administrators (the “CSA”) in response to the COVID-19 pandemic to extend the filing deadline for the Annual Filings. Due to ongoing complications in coordinating with the Company’s auditors and collection of the required data and documentation to complete the audit of the Company and its various subsidiaries caused by COVID-19, the resulting restrictions in travel and limited access to Company facilities and records, the Company does not expect to be able to file the Annual Filings by their respective extended deadlines. The Company will work with its auditors to complete the audit of the Company’s consolidated financial statements, and expects to file the Annual Filings by August 15, 2020.
Pursuant to National Policy 12-203 Management Cease Trade Orders (“NP 12-203”), the Company is requesting that an MCTO be issued. If granted, the MCTO will restrict all trading by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer in the Company’s securities. The Company does not currently have a chief financial officer, and is currently in the process of seeking and evaluating suitable candidates. However, this process has also been hampered by COVID-19 related complications. An MCTO will not affect the ability of persons other than the directors, officers and insiders to trade in the Company’s securities. An MCTO will remain in effect until the Annual Filings are filed or until it is revoked or varied.
The Company has also imposed an insider trading blackout pending filing of the Annual Filings. The Company confirms that it will comply with the alternative information guidelines set forth in NP 12-203 for so long as it remains in default of the requirement to file the Annual Filings. There is no material information relating to its affairs that has not been generally disclosed.
