TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / May 4, 2022 / Tsodilo Resources Limited ("Tsodilo" or the "Company") (TSX-V:TSD) (OTCQB:TSDRF) (FSE:TZO) announces that its request for a Management Cease Trade Order ("MCTO") was denied on May 4, 2022, by the Ontario Securities Commission ("OSC").
Pursuant to National Policy 12-203 - Management Cease Trade Orders ("NP 12-203"), the Company notified OSC on April 27, 2022, that it anticipated a delay in filing its financial statements for the year-ended December 31, 2021, and the related management's discussion and analysis ("MD&A") and certifications (the "Annual Filings") and requested that a MCTO be issued. The Annual Filings were due to be filed by May 2, 2022. The OSC determined that the Company was not entitled to the MCTO as the Company's shares did not meet NP 12-203, Section 6 (d) requirement with respect to having an "active, liquid market for its securities in Canada".
The Company will work with its auditors to complete the audit of the Company's consolidated financial statements and expects to file the Annual Filings by May 31, 2022. The delays were as the result of primarily the impacts of the COVID pandemic locally (Botswana) as well as receiving license confirmations from the Botswana Ministry of Mineral Resources, Green Technology and Energy Security, Department of Mines.
Until the Company completes the Annual Filings, the Company will comply with the alternative information guidelines set out in National Policy 12-203 - Cease Trade Orders for Continuous Disclosure Defaults for issuers who have failed to comply with a specified continuous disclosure requirement within the times prescribed by applicable securities laws. The guidelines, amongother things, requirethe Company to issue bi-weekly default statusreports by way of a news releaseso long as the AnnualFilings have not been filed.
The Company reports that: (i) there has not been any other specified default by the Company under NP 12-203, and no such default is anticipated; (ii) the Company is not subject to any insolvency proceedings; and (iii) there is no material information concerning the affairs of the Company that has not been generally disclosed.
