Alkaline Fuel Cell Power Announces Late Filing of Annual Financial Statements, Management Cease Trade Order and Update on Fuel Cell Power NV
04 Abril 2023 - 6:00AM
Alkaline Fuel Cell Power Corp. (NEO: PWWR) (OTCQB: ALKFF)
(FRANKFURT: 77R, WKN: A3CTYF) (“PWWR” or the
“Company”) announces today that as a result of delays to its
audit, the Company’s annual financial statements, accompanying
management's discussion and analysis and annual information form
for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 (the “Annual Filings”)
were not finalized by March 31, 2023, being the date that such
filings are due under applicable Canadian securities law
requirements. The Company has applied for, and has been granted, a
management cease trade order (the "MCTO") by the British Columbia
Securities Commission.
The reason for the anticipated delay is due to
staffing limitations and turnover with the Company's foreign
subsidiaries which has resulted in delays to certain audit
procedures and added complexities of auditing certain transactions
during the financial year. The Company requires additional time to
complete and submit the required filings. The Company is working
with its auditor (Dale Matheson Carr-Hilton Labonte LLP) to
complete the audit in a timely manner.
The Company currently expects to file the Annual
Filings on or before May 30, 2023 and will issue a news release
announcing completion of such filings at such time. Until the
Company files the Annual Filings, it will comply with the
alternative information guidelines set out in National Policy
12-203 – Management Cease Trade Order for issuers who have failed
to comply with a specified continuous disclosure requirement within
the times prescribed by applicable securities laws. The guidelines,
among other things, require the Company to issue bi-weekly default
status reports by way of a news release so long as the Annual
Filings have not been filed.
During the MCTO, the general investing public
will continue to be able to trade in the Company's listed common
shares. However, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer will not be able to trade in the Company's common
shares.
