(TheNewswire)
Toronto, Ontario – TheNewswire - May 8, 2024 - Zonetail Inc. (“Zonetail” or the “Company”) (TSXV:ZONE) (OTC:ZTLLF) announces that the OntarioSecurities Commission (the "OSC") has notified the Company that it has issued a failure-to-file cease trade order (the "FFCTO") against the Company under Multilateral Instrument 11-103 - Failure-to-File Cease Trade Orders in Multiple Jurisdictions. The Company applied for a management cease trade order and regrets the decision of the OSC in issuing a FFCTO. The FFCTO was issued as aresult of the Company's delay in filing its annual financial statements, accompanying MD&Aand CEO and CFO certifications for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 (the "Required Filings") beyond the regulatory deadline of April 29, 2024.
The Company's delay in filing its Required Filings by the Filing Deadline is due to unexpected delays in commencing the audit of the Company, which is being carried out by MNP LLP, the Company's auditor (the "Auditor"). The Company expects to be in a position to issue and file the Required Filings between May 17, 2024 and May 24, 2024.
The FFCTO prohibits any trading, whether direct or indirect, in respect of all securities of the Company, including trades in the Company's common shares made through the TSX Venture Exchange, until such time as the Company is able to complete the filing of the Required Filings and successfully apply for a revocation of the FFCTO. If the Required Filings are filed within 90 days (expected no later than May 24, 2024) of the date of the FFCTO, such filings will constitute the Company's application to have the FFCTO revoked. There can be no assurance that the FFCTO will be revoked on the timeline contemplated by the Company. The Company will continue to engage with the OSC as necessary during this time and will provide further updates on the FFCTO and the filing of the Required Filings as and when appropriate.
The Company expects to file its Required Filings well before as noted above the expiration of the three-month period after the Filing Deadline as prescribed by NP 12-203. Further, the Company has confirmed that it intends to satisfy the provisions of the alternative information guidelines described in Sections 9 and 10 of NP 12-203 for so long as it remains in default for failure to file the Required Filings.
The Company confirms that it is not subject to any insolvency proceeding as of the date hereof. The Company also confirms that there is no other material information concerning the affairs of the Company that have not been generally disclosed as of the date herein.
Neither the TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined in the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.
