MONTREAL, QC / ACCESSWIRE / March 24, 2023 / World Outfitters Corporation Safari Nordik ("WOC") or the "Company") is pleased to announce that the Autorité des marchés financiers ("AMF") and the Ontario Securities Commission ("OSC") have issued a partial revocation order on March 16, 2023 (the "Partial Revocation") announcing the cease trader order issued against the Company on April 19, 2011 (the "CTO") for failing to file certain outstanding continuous disclosure documents. The Partial Revocation permits the Company to complete a private placement transaction (the "Private Placement") for the purpose of filing continuous disclosure documents, accounting, auditing, transfer agent, corporate service providers, filing fees and the application for a full revocation of the CTO. On April 21, 2021, the British Columbia Securities Commission (the "BCSC") and the Alberta Securities Commission (the "ASC") issued their revocation order and variation order, respectively.

In addition, all common shares issued pursuant to the Private Placement will be subject to a hold period of four months and a day from the closing date of the Private Placement.
The Partial Revocation will terminate on the earlier of: (i) the completion of the Private Placement, and (ii) May 15, 2023, being 60 days from the date on which the Partial Revocation orders were issued. There can be no assurances that the Private Placement, will be completed on the terms set out herein, or at all, or that the proceeds of the Private Placement will be sufficient for the purposes of the Company.
The Company will proceed in an application for a full revocation of the CTO in order to complete a reverse take-over or other form of business combination.
