DUEREN, Germany , Aug. 10, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- GBLT Corp. (“GBLT” or the “Company”) (TSXV:GBLT; OTCQB:GBLTF; FSE: 4G9), announces that due to logistics and delays caused by the COVID-19 virus, it is relying on the exemption provided in Ontario Instrument 51-505 - Temporary Exemption from Certain Corporate Finance Requirements with Deadlines during the Period from June 2 to August 31, 2020 (the “Ontario Instrument”) of the Ontario Securities Commission (and similar exemptions provided by the securities commissions in British Columbia, Alberta and Saskatchewan) to postpone the filing of its interim financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, as required by section 4.4 of National Instrument 51-102 - Continuous Disclosure Obligations (“NI 51-102”), and its related management discussion & analysis for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, as required by section 5.1(2) of NI 51-102 (collectively, the “Q2 Documents”).
According to the Ontario Instrument, during the period from June 2, 2020 to August 31, 2020, a person or company required to make certain filings as described in the Ontario Instrument has an additional 45 days from the deadline otherwise applicable under Ontario securities laws to make the filing. GBLT expects to file the Q2 Documents by no later than the extended deadline of October 13, 2020.
Until the Company has filed the Q2 Documents, members of the Company’s management and other insiders will observe a trading blackout consistent with the principles in Section 9 of National Policy 11-207 - Failure-to-File Cease Trade Orders and Revocations in Multiple Jurisdictions.
GBLT confirms that, other than disclosed in prior press releases, there have been no material business developments since the filing on June 12, 2020 of the Company’s latest annual financial reports for the year ended December 31, 2019.
