June 21, 2019 – Toronto, ON – Peeks Social Ltd.. (the “Corporation“) (TSXV: PEEK) announces that it made an application to the Ontario Securities Commission to approve a temporary management cease trade order (“MCTO“) under National Policy 12-203 Cease Trade Orders for Continuous Disclosure Defaults (“NP 12-203“), which, if granted, will prohibit trading in securities of the Corporation by certain insiders of the Corporation, whether direct or indirect. The Corporation expects it will be unable to file its audited financial statements for the year ended February 28, 2019, and the management’s discussion and analysis and related Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer certificates for this period (collectively, the “Required Filings“) before the June 28, 2019 filing deadline (the “Filing Deadline“).
The
Corporation’s failure to file its Required Filings by the Filing Deadline is
due to a combination of factors including the Change of the Corporation’s Chief
Financial Officer in the fall of 2018, the recent engagement of a new Auditor,
and the complexity added by the acquisition of Personas.com Corporation in May
of 2018 and the need to audit the consolidated results for the year ended February
28, 2019.
The Corporation anticipates that it will be a position to remedy the default by filing the Required Filings on or about August 30, 2019. The MCTO will be in effect until the Required Filings are filed.
The Corporation intends to satisfy the provisions of the alternative
information guidelines set out in sections 9 and 10 of NP 12-203 so long as the
Required Filings are outstanding.
Neither the TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined in the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange) has reviewed or accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this Release.
