Almonty Industries Announces Delay in Filing 2018 Financial Results and Cease Trade Order
Almonty Industries Inc. (“Almonty” or the “Corporation”) (TSX: AII / OTCQX: ALMTF / Frankfurt: 1MR) discloses today that the filings of the Corporation’s annual financial statements for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2018, the related management’s discussion and analysis and the related officer certifications of the annual filings for the year ended September 30, 2018 (collectively, the “2018 Annual Financial Filings”) were not completed by the deadline of December 31, 2018 (the “Filing Deadline”). As a result, after markets closed on January 7, 2019 the Ontario Securities Commission issued a cease trade order (the “Cease Trade Order”) against the Corporation pursuant to National Policy 11-207 – Failure-to-File Cease Trade Orders and Revocations in Multiple Jurisdictions and its securities have been halted from trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange.
The Corporation is actively working with its auditors to finalize the 2018 Annual Financial Filings, which the Corporation expects to be completed soon. Once the 2018 Annual Financial Filings are finalized, the Corporation will seek to have the Cease Trade Order revoked. The Corporation will be forthcoming with an update on the 2018 Annual Financial Statements once the required filings have been made.
