VANCOUVER, BC, March 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- BioVaxys Technology Corp. (CSE: BIOV) (FRA: 5LB) (OTCQB: BVAXF) ("BioVaxys" or "Company") announces that, further to its news release dated February 13, 2025, its principal regulator, the British Columbia Securities Commission (the "BCSC"), has accepted the Company's application for, and has granted, a management cease trade order (the "MCTO") under National Policy 12-203 - Management Cease Trade Orders ("NP 12-203").
As previously announced, the Company applied for the MCTO as it anticipated a short-term delay in the filing of its audited annual financial statements for the year ended October 31, 2024, the related management's discussion and analysis, and its Form 52-109FV1 CEO and CFO certifications of annual filings (collectively the "Required Filings"). Under National Instrument 51-102 - Continuous Disclosure Obligations, the Required Filings were required to be made not later than February 28, 2025.
While every effort is being made to make the Required Filings as soon as possible, one of the factors contributing to the delay is the recent acquisition of all intellectual property, immunotherapeutics platform Technology, and clinical stage assets of the former IMV Inc. completed on February 16, 2024. The purchase involved the acquisition of 120 patents, and it is taking longer than expected for the auditor to complete its review and valuation of the patents. The Company expects that its auditor, Dale Matheson Carr-Hilton LaBonte LLP, will be in a position to complete the audit by March 30, 2025, ?with the Required Filings to be completed as soon as possible ?thereafter.?
While the MCTO is in effect, the general investing public will continue to be able to trade freely the Company's listed common shares. However, the MCTO will prohibit the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer from trading securities of the Company for so long as the Required Filings are not filed. Additionally, the Company will be prohibited from directly or indirectly issuing or acquiring securities from insiders or employees of the Company until such time as the Required Filings have been made and all continuous disclosure requirements have been met by the Company, and the MCTO has been revoked.
The Company confirms that it will comply with the alternative information guidelines set out under NP 12-203 by issuing bi-weekly default status reports, in the form of news releases, until such time as the Required Filings have been made and all continuous disclosure requirements have been met by the Company, and the MCTO has been revoked. The Company also confirms as of the date of this news release that there is no insolvency proceeding against it and there is no other material information concerning the affairs of the Company that has not been generally disclosed.
