FRX Innovations Inc
VANCOUVER, British Columbia – TheNewswire - April 24, 2024 – FRX Innovations Inc. (TSXV:FRXI) (FSE:W2A.F) (OTC:FRXIF) (“ FRX ” or the “ Company ”), a leader in eco-friendly flame-retardant solutions, announces that it anticipates the filing of its annual financial statements, management’s discussion and analysis and related officer certifications for the financial year ended December 31, 2023 (collectively, the “ Annual Filings ”) will be delayed beyond the required filing deadline under Parts 4 and 5 of National Instrument 51-102 – Continuous Disclosure Obligations and pursuant to National Instrument 52-109 – Certification of Disclosure in Issuer’s Annual and Interim Filings, that being April 29, 2024 (the “ Filing Deadline ”). Due to extenuating circumstances relating to a member of FRX’s European finance team, the Company has determined that it will not be able to complete the audit and file the Annual Filings by the Filing Deadline. The Company intends to work closely with its auditor and expects to file the Annual Filings as soon as possible, and in any event no later than May 30, 2024. The Company is providing this default announcement in accordance with National Policy 12-203 Management Cease Trade Orders (“ NP 12-203 ”). The Company has applied for a management cease trade order (the " MCTO ") by the Ontario Securities Commission. Until the Company files the Annual Filings, it will comply with the alternative information guidelines set out in NP 12-203. The guidelines, among other things, require the Company to issue bi-weekly default status reports by way of a news release so long as the Annual Filings have not been filed. During the MCTO, the general investing public will continue to be able to trade in the Company's listed common shares. However, the Company's chief executive officer and chief financial officer will not be able to trade in the Company's shares.
