VANCOUVER, BC , May 11, 2021 /CNW/ - AZN Capital Corp. (the " Company " or " AZN ") (TSXV: AZN) (OTC: AZNVF) announces that the Company is subject to a Cease Trade Order issued by the British Columbia Securities Commission for failure to file its annual financial statements and related documents for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 (the " Annual Financial Statements ") by the deadline of April 30, 2021 as required by applicable Canadian securities laws.
The Company advises that the failure to file the Annual Financial Statements resulted from delays caused by the public disposition of substantially all of the assets of the Company and its U.S. subsidiaries conducted in late December 2020 , coupled with incremental delays resulting from the effects of COVID-19 on work schedules, availability and timelines. The Company is actively working to complete the required filings as soon as possible so that the cease trade order can be lifted.
The Company expects to file the Annual Financial Statements as soon as they are available, and will issue a news release once the Annual Financial Statements have been filed.
ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
AZN CAPITAL CORP.
