CALGARY, AB / ACCESSWIRE / May 29, 2020 / Sparta Capital Ltd. (TSXV:SAY) (the "Corporation" or "Sparta") today announced that it will be delaying the filing and delivery of its second quarter interim financial statements and management's discussion and analysis (the "Interim Financial Documents"), for the period ended March 31, 2020, due to logistics and delays caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Sparta is relying on the temporary blanket relief for market participants from certain regulatory filings published by Canadian securities regulators on March 23, 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, which allows for the delay in the filing of its Interim Financial Documents required pursuant to National Instrument 51-102 Continuous Disclosure Obligations and the filing of the related certifications (collectively, the "Required Filings"). In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, securities regulatory authorities in Canada have granted this blanket exemption allowing the Corporation an additional 45 days to complete its regulatory filings.

The Corporation estimates that its second quarter documents will be available for filing at its earliest opportunity, which is expected to occur on or before June 8, 2020. Pursuant to the Required Filings, the Corporation's management and other insiders are subject to a trading blackout, until such time as the Required Filings are filed.

There have been no material business developments since the date of the last Required Filings, filed on March 2, 2020; however, the Corporation has issued news releases subsequent to March 2, 2020, including an announcement on May 27, 2020 in which the Corporation announced a proposed Private Placement that indicates the Corporation is looking to issue up to 10,000,000 units ("Units") of the Corporation at a price of $0.025 per Unit for gross proceeds of up to $250,000.00. Copies of this and all other releases are available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
