The notice released by the CSA stated that securities regulators will be providing co-ordinated relief consisting of a 45-day extension for certain periodic filings required to be made on or prior to June 1, 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

the requirement to file management discussion and analysis (the “MD&A“) for the period covered by the Financial Statements within 120 days of the Company’s financial year end as required by section 5.1(2) of NI 51-102; and

the requirement to file certifications of the Financial Statements (the “Certificates” and together with the Financial Statements, the “Annual Filings“) pursuant to section 4.1 of National Instrument 52-109 - Certification of Disclosure in Issuers’ Annual and Interim Filings.

The Company will provide a further update concerning the exact timing of its Annual Filings.
