International Land Alliance Announces OTC Markets Extension

SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA, May 18, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- International Land Alliance, Inc. (OTCQB | ILAL), (“ILAL” or the “Company”), an international land investment and development firm, announced today that it has been working with OTC Markets Group, Inc. (“OTC”) and OTC has granted our request for an extension to file our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ending December 31, 2022 (the “Form 10-K”). We are confident we will file the Form 10-K within the extended time frame provided by OTC Markets, during which time our stock will continue to be quoted on the OTCQB Marketplace operated by OTC.

The Company’s recent acquisition of Rancho Costa Verde Development, LLC (“RCVD”) for $13.5M required that substantial resources be devoted to the completion of the transaction and consolidation of operations, as well as ensuring that RCVD’s accounting policies and processes are aligned. RCVD has never been subject to audit and is considered a significant, acquisition pursuant to Rule 1-02 (w) of Regulation S-X and as such the Company must filed audited financial statements of RCVD. This acquisition, combined with a change in the Company’s independent auditor in September of 2022, has presented challenges that have rendered timely filing of the Form 10-K impracticable without undue hardship and expense.

Jason Sunstein, CFO of ILA, commented: “This has been an enormous undertaking and everyone here has been making contributions to see to this to completion. As part of this acquisition and recent filings, we are making internal adjustments and adding staff to ensure we remain timely going forward.”

Mr. Sunstein continued: “I thank our shareholders for their strong support of this transaction and our talented employees for their hard work and dedication. “We are proud to have this significant milestone now behind us and expect the combined companies to deliver shareholder value in the future.”
