TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / August 19, 2022 / AI/ML Innovations Inc. (the "Company") (CSE:AIML; OTCQB: AIMLF; FWB:42FB), a company committed to acquiring and advancing Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning technologies that address urgent societal needs, announces that it has made an application to the British Columbia Securities Commission ("BCSC") to approve a management case trade order ("MCTO") under National Policy 12-203 Management Cease Trade Orders ("NP 12-203"), which, if granted, will prohibit trading in the securities of the Company by the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Company until such time as the Required Filings (defined below) and all continuous disclosure requirements have been filed by the Company, and the MCTO has been lifted. During the period in which the MCTO is effective, the general public, who are not insiders of the Company, will continue to be able to trade in the Company's listed securities. The MCTO application has been made but there is no guarantee or assurance that the MCTO will be granted. If the MCTO is not issued by the BCSC, the applicable Canadian securities regulatory authorities could issue a general cease trade order against the Company for failure to file the Required Filings within the prescribed time period.
The Company expects that it will be unable to file its audited financial statements for the financial year ended April 30, 2022, and the related management's discussion and analysis and Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer certificates for this period (collectively, the "Required Filings") before the filing deadline of August 28, 2022 (the "Filing Deadline").
The Company's failure to file its Required Filings by the Filing Deadline is due to the fact that during the year it acquired a material equity interest in a French corporation, Tech2Heal SAS, requiring the conversion of Tech2Heal's financial reporting into IFRS, followed by the incorporation into the Company's consolidated financial statements by way of equity accounting. The Company's auditors have requested additional documentation/support from Tech2Heal, which is anticipated to be provided by September 15, 2022.
The Company anticipates that it will be in a position to remedy the default by filing the Required Filings on or before October 28, 2022. The MCTO will be in effect until the Required Filings are filed. The Company intends to satisfy the provision of the alternative information guidelines set out in sections 9 and 10 of NP 12-203 so long as the Required Filings are outstanding.
The Company confirms that there are no insolvency proceedings against it as of the date of this press release. The Company also confirms that there is no other material information concerning the affairs of the Company that has not been generally disclosed as of the date of this press release.
