Mydecine applies for management cease trade order
MYDECINE APPLIES FOR MANAGEMENT CEASE TRADE ORDER
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, 3 May 2024 — Mydecine Innovations Group Inc. (the “Company”) (CSE: MYCO) (FSE: 0NF0) (OTC: MYCOF) (AQSE: MYIG) announces that it has requested a temporary Management Cease Trade Order (“MCTO”) from the British Columbia Securities Commission (“BCSC”) in connection with the Company’s filing of its audited annual financial statements (the “Audited Financial Statements”) and MD&A for the financial year ended December 31, 2023.
The Company is requesting the MCTO in order to secure additional time to finalize its Audited Financial Statements, the related MD&A and the applicable CEO and CFO certifications (the “Annual Filings”). The delay in filing the Annual Filings is a result of being required to restate its December 31, 2022 audited financial statements (as announced in its news release dated April 25, 2024) and its recent change of auditor. The Company is working with its new auditor and accounting team to draft Financial Statements and respond to all queries. It is the Company’s reasonable expectation that the Annual Filings will be finalized on or before June 28, 2024 or sooner.
By way of background and as required by the BCSC, the Company notes the following:
1. The Company is required to file its Annual Filings all in accordance with IFRS within 120 days after the end of its completed financial year, such date being April 29, 2024 (the “Annual Filing Deadline”) as required by National Instrument 51-102 Continuous Disclosure Obligations (“NI 51-102”). The Company does not anticipate that it will be able to complete the Annual Filings on or before the Annual Filing Deadline.
2. The Company and its auditors are working diligently to prepare and file the Annual Filings, on or before June 28, 2024.
3. The Company confirms that it intends to issue a status report on a bi-weekly basis, for as long as it remains in default of the Annual Filing Deadline in respect of the Annual Filings.
4. The Company is not subject to any insolvency proceeds.
5. There is no other material information concerning the affairs of the Company that has not been generally disclosed.
The Company has imposed an insider trading blackout pending the filing of the Annual Filings, and will comply with the alternative information guidelines described in National Policy 12-203 Management Cease Trade Orders during such period.
The Directors of Mydecine take responsibility for this announcement.
This announcement contains inside information for the purposes of Article 7 of the Market Abuse Regulation (EU) 596/2014 as it forms part of UK domestic law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 ("MAR"), and is disclosed in accordance with the Company's obligations under Article 17 of MAR.
