[ad_1]
Denver, Colorado – (NewMediaWire) – April 14, 2021 – CBD
Global Sciences Inc. (CSE: CBDN) (the “Company“)
would like to provide an update on the status of the filing of its annual
financial statements, accompanying management’s discussion and analysis and
related CEO and CFO certifications for the year ended December 31, 2020
(collectively, the “Annual Filings“).
Due to the continued impact of
COVID-19, and the logistical complications for its auditor to conduct the audit
of certain operations, the Company anticipates the Annual Filings will be
delayed beyond the required filing deadline: (i) under Parts 4 and 5 of
National Instrument 51-102 – Continuous
Disclosure Obligations and pursuant to National Instrument 52-109 – Certification of Disclosure in Issuer’s Annual
and Interim Filings, being April 30, 2021 (the “Filing
Deadline“).
The Company intends to continue
to work diligently and expeditiously with its auditors and expects to file the
Annual Filings as soon as possible, and in any event no later than June 15,
2021.
Other than as previously
disclosed by the Company and herein with this press release, the Company
confirms that there have been no material business developments since the date
of its last financial statements that were filed.
Management
Cease Trade Order Application
In light of the delay in filing of the Annual Filings
prior to the Filing Deadline, the Company is providing this default
announcement in accordance with National Policy 12-203 Management Cease Trade
Orders (“NP 12-203“).
The Company has made an application to the Alberta Securities Commission (the “ASC“), as principal regulator of the
Company, for a management cease trade order (“MCTO“)
under NP 12-203 in respect of the anticipated default regarding the Annual
Filings. The granting of the MCTO is at the discretion of the Alberta
Securities Commission and there is no guarantee that this will be
granted. The issuance of the MCTO will not affect the ability of persons
who have not been directors, officers, or insiders of the Company to trade in
their securities. In the event that the MCTO is granted, it will be in effect
until the default is remedied. The Company intends to follow the
provisions of the Alternative Information Guidelines set out in NP 12-203,
including the issuance of bi-weekly default status reports in the form of news
releases, for as long as the Company remains in default.
