Vancouver BC - TheNewswire - October 23, 2020 - Agrios Global Holdings Ltd.
(CSE:AGRO) (OTCQB:AGGHF) (FSE:ØSA – WKN-A2N62K) (CNSX:AGRO.CN) ("Agrios" or the "Company") announces, after the close of markets on October 20, 2020, the Company received a cease trade order (the "Cease Trade Order" of “CTO”).  The CTO was issued by the British Columbia Securities Commission, (the “BCSC”) the Company’s principal regulator as a result of Agrios’ failure to file the following periodic disclosure required including:

  • - The Company's audited annual financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2020;

    - Management's Discussion and Analysis relating to the Company's audited annual financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2020;

    - Interim Financial Statements of the Company for the periods ended June 30, 2019;

    - Management's Discussion and Analysis relating to the Company's interim financial statements for the periods ended June 30, 2019;

    - Certification of the foregoing filings by the Company as required by National Instrument 52-109 Certification of Disclosure in Issuers' Annual and Interim Filings.

The Cease Trade Order, among other things;

  • - Revokes the management cease trade order (the MCTO”) issued by the BCSC on September 15, 2020 in respect to certain directors and officers of Agrios, which prohibited those directors and officers from trading in the Company's securities until after the Company cured its disclosure defaults;

    - Prohibits any person or company from trading, directly or indirectly, in any security of the Company in the Province of British Columbia, and in every other province or territory of Canada in which Agrios is a reporting issuer under the terms defined in the Legislation, National Instrument 14-101 Definitions and National Policy 11-207 Failure-to-File Cease Trade Orders and Revocations in Multiple Jurisdictions have the same meaning if used in this order, unless otherwise defined.

 

Despite this order, a beneficial securityholder of the Issuer who is not, and was not at the date of this order, an insider or control person of the Issuer, may sell securities of the Issuer acquired before the date of this order if both of the following apply:

 

      • - the sale is made through a “foreign organized regulated market”, as defined in section 1.1 of the Universal Market Integrity Rules of the Investment Industry Regulatory Organization of Canada; and

 

      • - the sale is made through an investment dealer registered in a jurisdiction of Canada in accordance with applicable securities legislation.

A copy of the Cease Trade Order has been posted on the website of the BCSC click here and will be posted on the Agrios Website.
