Radient Announces Potential Delay in Filing Year End Financials

V.RTI.H

Edmonton, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - July 26, 2022) - Radient Technologies Inc. (TSXV: RTI) (OTC Pink: RDDTF) ("Radient", the "Issuer" or the "Company") announces today that, due to unexpected delays the Company's auditor is experiencing in connection with its audit of Tunaaaa Xtracts Inc. ("Tunaaaa"), a company acquired by the Issuer in early 2022, it anticipates that it may be delayed in filing its audited annual financial statements (the "Statements") for its financial year ended March 31, 2022 and the related Management's Discussion and Analysis and Certifications by the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (collectively the "Required Filings"). Under National Instrument 51-102 of the Canadian Securities Administrators, the Required Filings are required to be made not later than July 29, 2022 (the "Deadline"). While every effort is being made to make the Required Filings as soon as possible, the Issuer is concerned that the Required Filings may not be made by the Deadline.

Out of an abundance of caution in the event that the Company is unable to make the Required Filings by the Deadline, the Company applied to the Alberta Securities Commission (the "Principal Regulator"), British Columbia Securities Commission, Ontario Securities Commission, Manitoba Securities Commission, Saskatchewan Financial and Consumer Affairs Authority, Newfoundland and Labrador, Director of Securities, New Brunswick Financial and Consumer Services Commission, and Nova Scotia Securities Commission pursuant to Part 3 of National Policy 12-203 ("NP 12-203") for a Management Cease Trade Order ("MCTO") as an alternative to a general Cease Trade Order in connection with the possible late filing (the "Default") of the Required Filings. In the event that the MCTO is granted, it will remain in effect until the Default is remedied. The issuance of a management cease trade order generally does not affect the ability of persons who have not been directors, officers or insiders of the Company to trade in their securities.

The Company's auditor retained to audit the Statements has advised the Issuer that it may be unable to complete its audit prior to the Deadline due to unexpected delays it is experiencing in connection with its audit of Tunaaaa. Please see the Company's press release dated January 28, 2022 for more details about the acquisition of Tunaaaa, which is available on the Company's SEDAR profile at www.sedar.com. Consequently, the Company requires additional time for the auditor to complete the audit. The Company anticipates that its auditor will be able to complete the audit and the Company will be able to complete the Required Filings by September 29, 2022.

The Company confirms that it will satisfy the provisions of the alternative information guidelines under NP 12-203 by issuing bi-weekly default status reports in the form of news releases for so long as it remains in default of the filing requirements described above.

The Company has not taken any steps towards any insolvency proceeding and the Company confirms that there is no material information relating to its affairs that has not been generally disclosed.

In the last few weeks progress has been made in collecting the requisite information to prepare the Required Filings and to complete the audit on or prior to the Deadline, and during this time the Company has been in discussions with its auditor for that purpose.

The MCTO prohibits trading in securities of the Company, whether direct or indirect, by:

  1. the Company's Chief Executive Officer;
  2. the Company's Chief Financial Officer; and
  3. the members of the board of directors of the Company or other persons or companies who had, or may have had, access directly or indirectly to any material fact or material change with respect to the Company that has not been generally disclosed.

Should the Company fail to make its Required Filings on or before September 29, 2022, the Principal Regulator can impose a cease trade order that all trading in securities of the Company cease for such period of time as the Principal Regulator may deem appropriate.
