Vancouver BC - TheNewswire - September 9, 2020- Agrios Global Holdings Ltd. (CSE:AGRO)(CNSX:AGRO.CN) (OTC:AGGHF) (FSE:OSA - WKN-A2N62K) ("Agrios" or the "Company") announces that it will not be in a position to file its audited annual financial statements (the "Annual Financial Statements"), the management's discussion and analysis (the "MD&A") and related certifications for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020 on or before September 14, 2020, as a result of complexities caused by COVID-19 pandemic, which initially impacted the Company's ability to complete its audited annual financial statements and has consequently caused a delay in completion of the Interim Filings.
Based on discussions with its auditors, the Company believes that the Annual Financial Statements together with the auditor's report thereon should be finalized and filed by October 31, 2020, together with the Company's annual MD&A for the 2020 fiscal year.
The Company has filed an application (the "Application") with the British Columbia Securities Commission, as its principal regulator, for a management cease trade order in accordance with National Policy 12-203 - Management Cease Trade Orders ("NP 12-203"). If approved, this application would give the Company additional time to complete its audit and file its annual financials without a full cease-trade order being issued.
Until the Annual Financial Statements, have been filed, the Company intends to continue to satisfy the provisions of the alternative information guidelines under NP 12-203 by issuing bi-weekly default status reports in the form of further press releases, which will also be filed on SEDAR.
Additionally, the Company announces Mr. Sameet Kanade has been appointed as Interim CFO.
