Looking Glass Labs Announces Late Filing of Annual Financial Statements and
Management Cease Trade Order
Vancouver, British Columbia - 2 November 2023 / Globe Newswire / - Looking Glass
Labs Ltd. ("LGL" or the "Company") (NEO: NFTX) (AQSE: NFTX) (OTC: LGSLF) (FRA:
H1N), a leading Web3 platform specialising in non-fungible token ("NFT")
architecture, immersive metaverse environments, play-to-earn tokenisation and
virtual asset royalty streams, announces today that as a result of delays to its
audit, the Company's annual financial statements, accompanying management's
discussion and analysis and annual information form for the fiscal year ended 31
July 2023 (the "Annual Filings") were not finalised by 30 October 2023, being
the date that such filings are due under applicable Canadian securities law
requirements. The Company has applied for, and has been granted, a management
cease trade order (the "MCTO") by the British Columbia Securities Commission.
The reason for the anticipated delay is due to additional procedures required by
the Company related to the complex nature of its recent acquisition and
disposition of a subsidiary. There are also additional audit procedures required
as a result of the nature of the Company's business and its digital asset
holdings. The auditor has requested more time for partner and consultant review
as part of those enhanced measures. The Company is working with its auditor WDM
Chartered Professional Accountants to complete the audit in a timely manner.
The Company expects to file the Annual Filings on or before 29 December 2023 and
will issue a news release announcing completion of such filings at such time.
Until the Company files the Annual Filings, it will comply with the alternative
information guidelines set out in National Policy 12-203 - Management Cease
Trade Order for issuers who have failed to comply with a specified continuous
disclosure requirement within the times prescribed by applicable securities
laws. The guidelines, among other things, require the Company to issue bi-weekly
default status reports by way of a news release so long as the Annual Filings
have not been filed.
During the MCTO, the general investing public will continue to be able to trade
in the Company's listed common shares. However, the Company's chief executive
office and chief financial officer will not be able to trade in the Company's
common shares.
This announcement contains inside information for the purposes of Article 7 of
the Market Abuse Regulation (EU) 596/2014 as it forms part of UK domestic law by
virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 ("MAR"), and is disclosed in
accordance with the Company's obligations under Article 17 of MAR.
The Directors of LGL take responsibility for this announcement.
