Hunter Technology Announces Application for Management Cease Trade Order

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, April 18, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Hunter Technology Corp. (TSX- V: HOC; OTCQB: HOILF; WKN: A2QEYH, FSE: RWPM, ISIN: CA4457371090) (“Hunter” or the “Corporation”) announces that it has made an application to the British Columbia Securities Commission to approve a temporary management cease trade order (“MCTO“) under National Policy 12-203 – Cease Trade Orders for Continuous Disclosure Defaults (“NP 12-203“), which, if granted, will prohibit trading in securities of the Corporation by the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Corporation until such time as the Required Filings (defined below) and all continuous disclosure requirements have been filed by the Corporation, and the MCTO has been lifted. During the period in which the MCTO is effective, the general public, who are not insiders of the Corporation, will continue to be able to trade in the Corporations listed securities. The MCTO application has been made but there is no guarantee or assurance that the MCTO will be granted.

The Corporation expects it will be unable to file its audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021, and the management’s discussion and analysis and related Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer certificates for this period (collectively, the “Required Filings“) before the May 2, 2022 filing deadline (the “Filing Deadline“).

The Corporation’s failure to file its Required Filings by the Filing Deadline is due to a combination of factors, including the recent resignation of the Corporation’s Chief Financial Officer with completing the Required Filings, and to various remote work environment changes for the Corporation, including removing the Corporation’s physical office and changing the Corporation’s work platform and IT service provider which caused delays for the Corporation’s accounting department.

The Corporation anticipates that it will be in a position to remedy the default by filing the Required Filings on or about June 30, 2022. The MCTO will be in effect until the Required Filings are filed.

The Corporation intends to satisfy the provisions of the alternative information guidelines set out in sections 9 and 10 of NP 12-203 so long as the Required Filings are outstanding.
