Suspension of Trading Pending 2022 Annual Report
Roquefort Therapeutics (LSE:ROQ, OTCQB:ROQAF), the Main Market
listed biotech company focused on developing first in class
medicines in the high value and high growth oncology market ,
provides the following update in relation to the publication of the
Company's Annual Report and Financial Statements for the year ended
31 December 2022 (the "2022 Annual Report").
In accordance with the listing rules, the Company was required
to publish its audited 2022 Annual Report by 30 April 2023;
however, due to the late appointment of BDO LLP as the Company's
new auditors in January 2023, BDO LLP have requested additional
time in order to complete their audit work. While the audit process
has yet to be concluded, the Directors have been advised by the
auditors that the audit is substantially complete and accordingly,
the Company is targeting the publication of the 2022 Annual Report
as soon as the auditor completes their work, which is expected to
be completed shortly.
As a result of the delay in publishing the 2022 Annual Report,
the Company's shares will be temporarily suspended from the
Official List and from trading on the London Stock Exchange with
effect from 7.30am today. Following the publication of the 2022
Annual Report the Company will make application for the suspension
to be lifted.
