POMPANO BEACH, FLORIDA / ACCESS Newswire / February 19, 2025 / Xcyte Digital Corp. (TSXV:XCYT) ("Xcyte" or the "Company") is announcing that further to its February 5, 2025, news release ("Status Update"), it is requesting permission from the Ontario Securities Commission ("OSC") to extend its new deadline to file the Company's Annual Filings (as defined herein) for the year ended September 30, 2024, with the expectation that the auditor will have the Annual Filings completed shortly. We will also file first quarter statements at the same time.
If the extension is granted, a management cease trade order ("MCTO") will remain in effect until the Annual Filings and First Quarter are expected to be completed on or before March 31, 2025.
As previously announced on February 5, 2025, the Company had been granted the MCTO due to an anticipated delay in filing its audited annual financial statements and related management discussion and analysis, and certifications for the financial year ended September 30, 2024 (the "Annual Filings"), which were due to be filed on January 28, 2025. The delay in filing the Annual Filings is because: (i) this is the first audit the Company has been required to complete since completion of its Qualifying Transaction in November 2023; (ii) MNP was appointed as the auditor of the Company concurrently with the completion of the Qualifying Transaction and, as such, this is the first audit of the Company conducted by MNP; (iii) the Company completed additional acquisitions during its fiscal year ended September 30, 2024, adding complexity to the audit; and (iv) Michael Ertle has only recently been appointed as the Chief Financial Officer of the Company.
The Company is working diligently and expeditiously with MNP in order to complete the Annual Filings as soon as practicable, and currently anticipates that it will be a position to remedy any filing default and return to compliance by completing the Annual Filings and First Quarter on or before March 31, 2025.
The MCTO restricts the Company's CEO, CFO, board and management from all trading in securities of the Company until two full business days following the receipt by the Commission of the Annual Filings, or further order of the OSC. The MCTO does not affect the ability of other shareholders of the Company to trade in securities of the Company. Until the Company files the Annual Filings, it will comply with the alternative information guidelines set out in National Policy 12-203 - Management Cease Trade Orders.
