Triterras Granted Further Extension by Nasdaq to File 2021 Annual Report
Triterras (Nasdaq: TRIT, TRITW) announced it received an extension from Nasdaq to regain compliance with listing rules. The company must file its 2021 Annual Report by December 1, 2021, after previously failing to file on time. The extension allows Triterras time to complete the independent audit of its financials for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2021. The company emphasizes that future results may vary significantly from expectations due to various risks associated with the audit process and compliance requirements.
- Extension granted until December 1, 2021, provides time to file the 2021 Annual Report and complete the independent audit.
- Non-compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) due to late filing of the 2021 Annual Report may affect investor confidence.

(NasdaqGM: TRIT, TRITW) (“Triterras” or the “Company”), a leading fintech company focused on trade and trade finance, today announced that the Company received notice from the Listing Qualifications Department of the NASDAQ Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) that the Company’s request for a further extension to regain compliance with the Nasdaq Listing Rules has been granted.
