ZUG, Switzerland and VANCOUVER, July 31, 2019 /CNW/ - HIVE Blockchain Technologies Ltd. (TSX.V:HIVE) (OTCQX:HVBTF) (the "Company" or "HIVE") announces that it has, as requested by HIVE management, been granted a management cease trade order (the "MCTO") by the British Columbia Securities Commission (the "BCSC"). This means that during the MCTO the stock will remain trading while management works diligently to complete the audit of its annual financial statements. The directors and management, including the CEO and CFO, of HIVE will not be able to trade shares during this period. As previously announced on July 26, 2019 the application for the MCTO was made due to a delay in the preparation and filing of its financial statements and accompanying management's discussion and analysis for the financial year ended March 31, 2019 (collectively, the "Annual Filings").
