Toronto, ON – RIWI Corp. (TSXV: RIWI) (OTC: RWCRF) (the “Company” or “RIWI”), a global trend-tracking and prediction technology firm, announces that it will be unable to file its annual financial statements, management discussion and analysis and related CEO and CFO certificates for the year ended December 31, 2022 (the “Required Filings”) which are required to filed on or before May 1, 2023 (the “Filing Deadline”).
In connection with the anticipated delay, the Company has applied to the Ontario Securities Commission requesting that a management cease trade order (“MCTO”) be imposed to restrict trading in the Company’s securities by the CEO, CFO and directors of the Company, as opposed to a general cease trade order, which would restrict all trading in the Company’s securities. If granted, the MCTO will be in effect until the Required Filings are filed or until it is revoked or varied.
The Company will be unable to complete the Required Filings by the Filing Deadline due to delays in audit process arising from the complexities associated with the acquisition (“Acquisition”) by the Company of Research on Mobile which was completed on July 1, 2022. Upon completion of the audit process, the Company will immediately remedy the default and file the Required Filings, on or before June 30, 2023.
The Company intends to satisfy the provisions of the alternative information guidelines set out in sections 9 and 10 of National Policy 12-203 Management Cease Trade Orders so long as the Required Filings are outstanding. The Company has not taken any steps towards any insolvency proceeding and the Company has no other material information to release to the public.
