VANCOUVER, British Columbia, April 29, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Westport Fuel Systems Inc. ("Westport Fuel Systems" or the "Company") (TSX:WPRT / Nasdaq:WPRT) today announced that it will disclose its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2020 on Thursday, June 4, 2020 after market close. To coincide with the disclosure, Westport Fuel Systems has also scheduled a conference call for Friday, June 5, 2020 at 10:30am Eastern Time (7:30am Pacific Time).
In light of recent COVID-19 developments and associated impacts, the Canadian Securities Administrators ("CSA") has announced temporary relief from certain regulatory filings required to be made on or before June 1, 2020. This relief provides a 45-day extension for periodic filings, including financial statements and management's discussion and analysis.
The Company will be utilizing the extension period provided for the filing of its interim financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and the related management's discussion and analysis and associated CEO and CFO certificates (collectively, the "Q1 Disclosure Documents"). The Q1 Disclosure Documents, which would otherwise have a filing deadline of May 15, 2020, are expected to be filed on SEDAR on June 4, 2020.
Until such time as the Q1 Disclosure Documents are filed, management and other insiders of the Company will be subject to an insider trading black-out policy that restricts trading in the securities of the Company until the date on which the Q1 Disclosure Documents are filed.
Since the date of the Company's last annual financial report on March 17, 2020, Westport Fuel Systems is continuing to see impacts due to the COVID-19 pandemic and continues to monitor these challenges closely so as to mitigate the impact on our global operations where possible.
