On April 29, 2022, the ASC and OSC issued the Decision to grant the Company its requested exemptive relief. Accordingly, the Company is filing its U.S. GAAP prepared audited annual financial statements on SEDAR in Canada at www.sedar.com to satisfy its May 2, 2022 filing obligations, and the original MCTO application has been withdrawn.
