MIAMI, FL, June 19, 2020 /CNW/ - Bhang Inc. ("Bhang" or the "Company") (CSE: BHNG) (OTCQX: BHNGF), a global cannabis CPG brand company with an award-winning portfolio of products, announced today that the Ontario Securities Commission has granted the Company's request for a management cease trade order (the "MCTO"). As previously announced, the application for the MCTO was made by the Company in connection with the anticipated delay in the filing of its financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 and the related management's discussion and analysis and certifications (the "Annual Filings").
As previously disclosed, the Company requires additional time to complete the Annual Filings and is working with its auditors to complete the audit of the Company's annual financial statements, and to file the Annual Filings, by July 15, 2020.
During the period during which the MCTO is in effect, the general investing public will continue to be able to trade in the Company's subordinate voting shares. However, for the duration of the MCTO, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer will not be able to trade any securities of the Company. The Company has also imposed a trading blackout on its directors and officers pending filing of the Annual Filings and the Company's interim financial statements and related management's discussion and analysis and certifications for the period ended March 31, 2020. The Company will comply with the Alternative Information Guidelines set forth in National Policy 12-203 for so long as it remains in default of the requirement to file the Annual Filings. The MCTO will remain in effect until the Company files the Annual Filings or the MCTO is otherwise revoked or varied.
