Aurora Solar Technologies Corporate Update
- None.
- Cease trade order may negatively impact stock price until filings are completed
North Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - August 18, 2023) - Aurora Solar Technologies Inc. (TSXV: ACU) (the "Company") announces that the British Columbia Securities Commission (the "BCSC") and the Alberta Securities Commission (the "ASC") issued a failure-to-file cease trade order (a "FFCTO") against the Company as a result of the Company's failure to file its audited financial statements, management discussion & analysis and related officer certifications for the year ended March 31, 2023 (collectively, the "Required Filings").
Every effort is being made by the Company to complete the Required Filings as soon as possible and the Company believes that it will be able to complete the Required Filings prior to August 31, 2023, after which time the Company will work with the BCSC and ASC to have the FFCTO revoked and work with the TSX Venture Exchange to reinstate trading of its common shares. The delay in filing audited financial statements is directly attributed to a protracted audit process associated with the first-year accounting of the BT Imaging transaction including the purchase price allocation. At this time, the Company is not aware of any reservations by the Auditor and the audit process is at an advanced stage of being finalized.
