MINT NOTIFIED CTO ISSUED BY THE ONTARIO SECURITIES COMMISSION 2023 ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND ASSOCIATED MD&A AND FIRST QUARTER INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND ASSOCIATED MD&A TO BE FILED BY JUNE 30, 2024
The Mint Corp. was issued a cease trade order by the Ontario Securities Commission on May 7, 2024, by virtue of not having filed the following periodic disclosure documents by the applicable filing deadlines:
- Annual audited financial statements for the year ended Dec. 31, 2023;
- Management's discussion and analysis for the period ended Dec. 31, 2023;
- Certification of annual filings for the period ended Dec. 31, 2023.
The delay is due to the complexity of having to obtain financial information from its operating subsidiary based in the United Arab Emirates resulting in the company and its auditor not having adequate time and resources available to complete the audit in the allotted time. The company is working diligently with its auditor, PKF Antares Professional Corp., to complete the audit and issue the disclosures, which it expects to have completed by June 30, 2024. The company will issue advice by news release should any further delays be foreseen.
The company expects this delay will further result in insufficient time to allow for the preparation and filing of its quarterly financial statements, associated MD&A and officer certifications for the succeeding interim period ended March 31 2024, which will be due on May 30, 2024. The company expects to complete its interim filings by June 30, 2024.
The company continues to operate normally and reports that the cause of the delay is not material to the company's operations. Mint will issue a news release announcing completion of the requisite filings once posted on SEDAR+.
Despite the CTO, a beneficial securityholder of the company who is not, and was not at the date of the CTO, an insider or control person of the company may sell securities of the company acquired before the date of the CTO if: (a) the sale is made through a foreign organized regulated market, as defined in Section 1.1 of the Universal Market Integrity Rules of the Investment Industry Regulatory Organization of Canada; and (b) the sale is made through an investment dealer registered in a jurisdiction of Canada in accordance with applicable securities legislation. Holders of the company's securities are urged to consult with their own investment advisers or legal counsel about the implications of the CTO.
