The Company is working diligently and expeditiously with its auditors and expects to file the documents as soon as possible. However, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to remedy its filing default and have the CTO lifted in a timely manner or at all.

The CTO prohibits the trading by any person of any securities of the Company in each jurisdiction in which the Company is a reporting issuer, including trades in the Company’s common shares, for as long as the CTO remains in effect. However, the CTO provides an exception for beneficial shareholders of the Company who are not insiders or control persons of the Company as of September 1, 2023 and who sell securities of the Company acquired before September 1, 2023, provided that the following criteria are met: (i) the sale is made through a “foreign organized regulated market,” as defined in section 1.1 of the Universal Market integrity Rule of the Canadian Investment Regulatory Organization; and (ii) the sale is made through an investment dealer registered in a jurisdiction of Canada in accordance with applicable securities legislation.
