Bradda Head Lithium Ltd Announces Agreement re: Late Filing of Annual Financials
Canadian Regulatory Announcement: Agreement regarding Late Filing of Annual Financial Statements and Application for Management Cease Trade Order
The Company has today published the following announcement in Canada regarding the timing for release of its Financial Statements for the year ended 28 February 2023. This will not impact on the deadline for publishing the Financial Statements as required under AIM Rule 19.
BRITISH VIRGIN ISLANDS / ACCESSWIRE / June 28, 2023 / Bradda Head Lithium Limited (AIM:BHL, TSXV:BHLI, OTCQB:BHLIF) ("Bradda Head" or the "Company") announces the Company's potential delay in filing its annual financial statements for the year ended February 28, 2023 and related management discussion and analysis (collectively, the "Financial Statements") and the CEO and CFO certificates relating to the Financial Statements (the "Required Filings") beyond the prescribed filing deadlines.
The Company's potential delay in filing its Required Filings on time is due to the fact that it has engaged PKF Littlejohn LLP as new auditors, as announced in the Company's news release dated June 13, 2023 and the Notice of Change of Auditors filed on the Company's profile on SEDAR on June 19, 2023.
Considering the foregoing factors, it is the Company's view that should the Required Filings not be filed by June 28, 2023, then the present circumstances warrant the imposition of a management cease trade order ("Management CTO"), rather than a cease trade order ("CTO"), as contemplated under National Policy 12-203 - Management Cease Trade Orders ("NP 12-203"). The Company has applied for a Management CTO.
The Company proposes to remedy the default working with its new auditor to ensure the filing of its Required Filings as soon as possible. The Company expects to be in a position to issue and file the Required Filings by no later than August 28, 2023. The Company confirms that the filing extension does not impact on its reporting timetable, as required under AIM Rules.
The Company therefore fully expects to file its Required Filings prior to the end of the period prescribed by NP 12-203. The Company has confirmed that it intends to satisfy the provisions of the alternative information guidelines described in sections 9 and 10 of NP 12-203 for so long as it remains in default for failure to file the Required Filings. Should the Company fail to file the appropriate Default Status Reports as prescribed by NP 12-203, the securities commissions or regulators may, as a result of such failure, impose a CTO.
The Company confirms that it is not subject to any insolvency proceeding as of the date hereof. The Company also confirms that there is no other material information concerning the affairs of the Company that have not been generally disclosed as of the date herein. The Board and the Audit and Risk Committee confirmed that there are no disagreements or unresolved matters between KPMG and the Company relating to the proposed change of Auditor, and no other matters in respect of the change of Auditor that need to be brought to the attention of the Shareholders.
