TORONTO, September 9, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Peeks Social Ltd. (the “Corporation“, or “Peeks”) (TSXV: PEEK, OTCQB: PKSLF) is providing this update on the status of the action taken by the Ontario Securities Commission (“OSC”) in issuance of a Management Cease Trade Order (“MCTO”) against the Corporation for failure to file the following by June 28, 2019:
- audited annual financial statements for the year ended February 28, 2019;
- management’s discussion and analysis relating to the audited financial statements for the year ended February 28, 2019; and
- certification for the audit financial statements for the year ended February 28, 2019.
The Corporation intends to continue to issue bi-weekly default status reports for so long as it remains in default of its requirements.
As reported, the Corporation had requested an extension of the MCTO to September 16, 2019, due to issues that arose in the course of the audit in connection with the amalgamation of Personas.com and the Company. The Company was required to apply accounting standard IFRS 3 (business combination) rather than IFRS 10 (merger), and as a result a valuation needs to be completed for the Company, thereby causing further delay.
The Corporation has been advised that an extension of the MCTO will not be granted. The Corporation expects a Full and Final Cease Trade Order (“FFCTO”) will be issued by the OSC. It is expected that the FFCTO will be lifted once all outstanding audited financial documents are filed.
During the FFCTO, the general investing public will not be able to trade in the Company’s listed common shares.
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.
