Canada House Wellness Group Announces Application for Management Cease Trade Order
TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Aug. 25, 2017) -
NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES
Canada House Wellness Group Inc. (CSE:CHV)(CSE:CHV.CN)(CNSX:CHV) ("Canada House" or the
"Company") announces that it has made an application to the Ontario Securities Commission to approve a
management cease trade order ("MCTO") under National Policy 12-203 - Cease Trade Orders for Continuous
Disclosure Defaults ("NP 12-203"), which, if granted, will prohibit trading in securities of the
Company by certain insiders of the Company, whether direct or indirect. The Company is unable to file its audited financial
statements for the year ended April 30, 2017 and the management's discussion and analysis and related Chief Executive Officer and
Chief Financial Officer certificates for this period (collectively, the "Required Filings") before the August
28, 2017 filing deadline (the "Filing Deadline").
The Company will be unable to make the Required Filings because it has been denied access to certain records relating to its
wholly-owned subsidiary Ananda Clinics Inc. ("Ananda") that are necessary in order to complete the preparation
and audit of the audited annual financial statements for the year ended April 30, 2017. The access to the necessary records has
been denied since May 17, 2017 by a former director and a former officer of the Company who are claiming an ownership entitlement
to Ananda.
The Company has initiated legal proceedings against such individuals to establish it as the owner of Ananda. As part of the
legal proceedings, the Company has requested an order requiring such individuals to produce the records of Ananda necessary to
enable the Company to complete the Required Filings. Although the Company is confident the evidence before the court supports a
ruling in favour of the Company, the Company is in negotiations to arrive at a settlement of the legal proceedings in order to
complete the Required Findings expeditiously. The settlement of the legal proceedings or the receipt by the Company of an order
requiring the production of the relevant records will enable the Company to complete and file the Required Filings.
The Company anticipates that it will be a position to remedy the default by filing the Required Filings on or before October
28, 2017. The MCTO will be in effect until the Required Filings are filed.
The Company intends to satisfy the provisions of the alternative information guidelines set out in Sections 9 and 10 of NP
12-203 so long as the Required Filings are outstanding.
