TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / June 6, 2022 / RYAH GROUP Inc. (CSE:RYAH) or the (‘'Corporation'') Board of Directors wishes to announce that on May 3, 2022, the Ontario Securities Commission (the ‘'OSC'' or the ‘'Commission'') issued a Management Cease-Trade Order (‘MCTO') in the matter of RYAH Group Inc. and David R. Richards and François C. Desrosiers. This order states that the management of RYAH cannot trade in the Company's securities until two days after RYAH has filed with the Commission all the filings that are currently missing and are required to be made under the Ontario Securities law.
The missing filings are the yearly financial statements to December 31, 2021; the management discussion & analysis that accompanies audited financial statements; and the CEO and CFO certificates that are filed at the same time.
Since filing the request for the MCTO the Company has worked diligently with its auditors in rapidly completing the audit in accordance with the regulations. There have not been any changes in the RYAH Group's activities and affairs that would qualify as material, for investors. The Company expects to satisfy the provisions of the alternative information guidelines. We do not expect any further defaults or resulting MCTOs.
RYAH is working to raise additional capital through a private placement of Subordinate Voting Share Units. The results be announced in a timely fashion.
The Issuer intends on continuing to satisfy the provisions of the alternative information guidelines described in section 9 and 10 of National Policy 12-203 so long as it remains in default of the specified requirement. RYAH is not subject to any insolvency proceedings and there is no other material information concerning the affairs of the Issuer that have not been disclosed.
The Corporation and the auditors expect that the audited financial statements will be filed on SEDAR by the end of June 2022. The Management and the Board of Directors have endeavoured to continue doing everything possible to assist the auditors in their work so the audit can be completed as soon as possible. When the audit is complete, and the documents have been filed on SEDAR, the Company will report that in a news release.
A MCTO is usually granted to give a corporation the time to remedy issues related to continuous disclosure issues (such as the timely filing of audited financial statements) while maintaining public trading in the Corporation's securities. Under a MCTO the Directors and Officers of a Corporation cannot trade the Corporation's securities for as long as the issue is not remedied. Once the situation corrected, we expect the MCTO to be lifted. While the situation lasts, officers, directors and anyone with special relationships with the Issuer cannot trade securities issued by the Company. They have all been advised of this black-out, and have agreed to abide by it.
