Denver, Colorado - (NewMediaWire) - June 15, 2021 - CBD
Global Sciences Inc. (CSE: CBDN) (the "Corporation")
further to its press releases dated May 14, 2021, and May 28, 2021 provides
this third bi-weekly default status report in accordance with National Policy
12-203 – Cease Trade Orders for
Continuous Disclosure Defaults (“NP
12-203”). In the Corporation’s initial default announcement of April 14,
2021 (the “Default Notice”), the
Corporation announced the delay in the filing of its audited annual financial
statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 (the “Annual
Financial Statements”) and related management’s discussion and analysis and
CEO and CFO certifications (collectively, the “Annual
Filings”) by the prescribed filing deadline.
As previously announced in the
Corporation’s press releases, the Corporation applied for and was granted a
management cease trade order in respect of the delayed Annual Filings (the “MCTO”) by the Alberta
Securities Commission. The MCTO prohibits the chief executive officer and the
chief financial officer from trading in the Corporation’s securities for so
long as there are filings that are outstanding under applicable securities
laws. The MCTO does not affect the ability of the general investing public to
trade in the Corporation’s listed common shares.
The audit of the Annual Financial
Statements is in progress and the Corporation expects to file the Annual
Filings on or before June 30, 2021, which is the date that the Alberta
Securities Commission has indicated that the MCTO will stay in effect until.
The Corporation confirms that
since the Default Notice: (i) there is no material change to the information
set out in the Default Notice that has not been generally disclosed; (ii) there
has been no failure by the Corporation in fulfilling its stated intentions with
respect to satisfying the provisions of the alternative information guidelines
set out in NP 12-203; (iii) there has not been any other specified default by
the Corporation under NP 12-203; and (iv) there is no other material
information concerning the affairs of the Corporation that has not been
generally disclosed.
Furthermore, the Corporation
anticipates that its interim financial statements for the three months ended
March 31, 2021, the accompanying management’s discussion and analysis and the
related CEO and CFO certifications will not be filed by the prescribed filing
deadline and will be filed after the Annual Filings are completed and filed.
The Corporation will continue to
comply with the provisions of the alternative information guidelines under NP
12-203 by issuing bi-weekly default status reports in the form of news releases
for so long as it remains in default of the filing requirements set out above.
