VANCOUVER, Oct. 3, 2018 /CNW/ - Leading Edge Materials Corp. ("Leading Edge Materials") or (the "Company") (TSXV: LEM) (Nasdaq First North: LEMSE) (OTCQB: LEMIF) has received a decision from the Nasdaq Stockholm Exchange Disciplinary Committee (the "Committee"), in accordance with the Nasdaq Stockholm First North Rule Book, relating to a breach in the timing and dissemination of the Company's quarterly financial statements and report for the period ending January 31, 2018 (the "Quarterly Report"), whereby the Company is required to pay a fine of approximately CAD$25,000.
The Committee concluded that there was a considerable delay through the various channels of dissemination (SEDAR, wire service to North America, wire service to Europe and the Company's website) used for the Quarterly Report; the full Quarterly Report was not attached as a pdf to the wire service in Europe; and the Quarterly Report was filed on April 4th, 2018, instead of March 28th, 2018.
