TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / April 3, 2020 / StageZero Life Sciences, Ltd (TSX:SZLS) ('StageZero' or the 'Company') today announced it had intended to issue its audited Financial Statements for the calendar year 2019 ('2019 Financial Statements'), the Management Discussion and Analysis for the 3 month and 12 month periods to 31 December 2019 ('2019 MD&A') and the Annual Information Form ('2019 AIF') on March 30, 2020 in line with its normal reporting calendar. The Company now, however, due to disruption of the audit process caused by the Covid-19 crisis, intends to rely on exemptions recently granted by Canadian securities regulatory authorities that allow it to delay the issue of the 2019 Financial Statements, the 2019 MD&A and the 2019 AIF.
Without the exemptions, the Company would be required to issue and file its 2019 Annual Financial Statements, 2019 MD&A and 2019 AIF by 30 March 2020. In response to the global Coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic, securities regulatory authorities in Canada have granted blanket exemptions allowing companies an additional 45 days in which to complete their regulatory filings.
The Company intends to rely on the exemptions to provide its Board of Directors and its recently appointed auditors adequate time to complete the full year audit. The Company and its auditors are making every effort to issue and file the 2019 Annual Financial Statements, 2019 MD&A and 2019 AIF at the earliest opportunity.
The Company's management and other insiders will continue to observe a trading blackout consistent with the principles contained in Canadian National Policy 11-207 - Failure to File Cease Orders and Revocations in Multiple Jurisdictions - until such time as the 2019 Financial Statements, the 2019 MD&A and the 2019 AIF are filed.
The Company confirms all material developments have been disclosed via press releases and that there have been no material business developments that have not been disclosed since the Company's financials and MD&A for Q3 September 30, 2019.
