Reservoir Capital Corp. Announces Filing of Application for Management Cease Trade Order

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, June 11, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Reservoir Capital Corp. (CSE: REO) (“REO” or the “Company”) announces that it will likely miss its filing deadline of June 15, 2020 to file annual consolidated financial statements and accompanying management’s discussion and analysis and related CEO and CFO certificates for the financial period ended December 31, 2019 (collectively, the “Annual Filings”), as required under applicable Canadian securities laws.
In connection with the Company’s inability to file the Annual Filings on time, the Company has applied for a Management Cease Trade Order (“MCTO”) under National Policy 12-203 – Management Cease Trade Orders (“NP 12-203”) and is waiting for British Columbia Securities Commission approval.The Company is applying for a MCTO as a result of complexities caused by COVID-19 in Nigeria, Mauritius and Canada, which have impacted the Company’s ability to complete its audit.The Company expects to file the Annual Filings as soon as they are available, but in any event no later than June 26, 2020 and will issue a news release once the Annual Filings have been filed. Until the Company files the Annual Filings, it will comply with the alternative information guidelines set out in NP 12-203. The guidelines, among other things, require the Company to issue bi-weekly default status reports, in the form of news releases, for 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 common shares listed on the Canadian Securities Exchange. However, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer and such other directors, officers and persons as determined by the applicable regulatory authorities will not be able to trade in the Company’s shares, nor will the Company be able to, directly or indirectly, issue securities to or acquire securities from an insider or employee of the Company except in accordance with legally binding obligations to do so existing as of June 15, 2020, being the date of the Company’s anticipated continuous disclosure default.The Company is not currently subject to any insolvency proceedings.
