The MCTO was granted pursuant to the Company’s request made under National Policy 12-203 – Management cease trade orders (“NP 12-203”). The Company requested and was granted an extension relating to filings required due to the additional time required to complete the Company’s previously announced restatement of its annual audited comparative financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2021 and to set up internal control procedures following the restatement process.
