Azarga Metals Application for Management Cease Trade Order
AZARGA METALS CORP. ("Azarga Metals" or the "Company") (TSXV:AZR) announces that it has made an application to relevant Canadian securities regulators to approve a temporary management cease trade order ("MCTO") under National Policy 12-203 - Management Cease Trade Orders ("NP 12-203"), which, if granted, will prohibit trading in securities of the Company by its Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and certain other insiders of the Company, until the Required Filings (as defined below) are filed by the Company, and the MCTO is lifted. During the period in which the MCTO is effective, the general public, who are not insiders of the Company, will continue to be able to trade in the Company's listed securities. The MCTO application has been made, but there is no guarantee or assurance that the MCTO will be granted.
The Company expects it will be unable to file its audited annual financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2024, and the management's discussion and analysis and related CEO and CFO certificates for this period (collectively, the "Annual Statements"), which are due to be filed on January 28, 2025 (the "Filing Deadline").
The reason for the anticipated delay in filing the Annual Statements prior to the Filing Deadline is due to unforeseen delays in the procurement of necessary financial resources to initiate the audit with the Company's auditors, resulting in completion date uncertainty.
As announced December 31, 2024, the Company has commitments to a non-brokered private placement (the "Private Placement") of 36,666,666 common shares ("Common Shares") at an issue price of C$0.03 per Common Share for aggregate gross proceeds of C$1.1 million. The Private Placement is subject to the approval of disinterested shareholders and the acceptance of the TSX Venture Exchange.
The Company anticipates that it will receive the necessary approvals to close the Private Placement and file the Annual Statements on or before March 3, 2025, to remedy the default. The Company confirms that it intends to satisfy the provisions of the alternative information guidelines of sections 9 and 10 of NP 12-203 so long as the filing of the Annual Statements remains outstanding.
Gordon Tainton,
President and Chief Executive Officer
