MONTREAL, July 02, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- PyroGenesis Canada Inc. (http://pyrogenesis.com) (TSX-V: PYR) (OTCQB: PYRNF) (FRA: 8PY), a high-tech company, (the "Company", the “Corporation” or "PyroGenesis") that designs, develops, manufactures and commercializes plasma atomized metal powder, plasma waste-to-energy systems and plasma torch systems announces today that, further to its press releases dated April 27, 2020 and June 2, 2020, it is required by the Autorité des Marchés Financiers to provide the following update on a monthly basis.
On March 23, 2020 the TMX Group exchanges, the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) and the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSXV”), announced temporary blanket relief measures for listed issuers during the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. These included the allowance to delay the filing of certain continuous disclosure documents by up to 45 days, given the administrative burden on public companies and accounting firms during the current crisis, and to provide greater flexibility in dealing with market volatility.
The Company will continue to rely on a temporary blanket relief provided by the Canadian Securities Regulatory Authorities for the filing of their Financial Statements and Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”), for the period ended March 31, 2020 (“Q1 2020 Filings”). As a result, PyroGenesis expects to file its Q1 2020 Filings on or before July 16, 2020.
During the period that the required filings remain outstanding, PyroGenesis' management and other insiders are subject to a trading black-out policy that reflects the principles in section 9 of National Policy 11-207 – Failure to File Cease Trade Orders and Revocations in Multiple Jurisdictions. The Company further confirms that since the press release dated June 2, 2020, there have been no material events that have not been publicly disclosed.
