VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / October 29, 2019 / CubicFarm® Systems Corp. (TSXV:CUB) ("CubicFarms" or the "Company") announces that it will not file its annual financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019, the related management's discussion and analysis (the "Required Records") on or before October 28, 2019, as required under applicable securities. The Company made an application to the provincial securities commissions under National Policy 12-203 Cease Trade Orders and has received a Management Cease Trade Order (the "MCTO") in respect of the late filing. During the MCTO, the general investing public will continue to be able to trade in the Company's listed common shares, however, the Company's Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and such other directors, officers and persons as determined by the applicable regulatory authorities, will not be able to trade the Company's shares.
CubicFarms has been slightly delayed in finalizing the Required Records due to the recent passing of one of its founders and former Chairman Dean Drysdale, who was responsible for financial reporting and corporate governance prior to the Company going public.
CubicFarms expects to file its audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019 and the related management's discussion and analysis by November 22, 2019. Until then, the Company intends to comply with the provisions of the alternative information guidelines as set out in National Policy 12-203 for as long as it remains in default, including the issuance of bi-weekly default status reports, each of which will be issued in the form of a news release. The Company also confirms that, at the date hereof, there are no insolvency proceedings against it and no other material information concerning the affairs of the Company that has not been generally disclosed.
Neither the TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined in the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.
