DATA Communications Management Corp. to Release Fiscal 2019 Financial Results and File Related Annual Filings on June 8, 2020

DATA Communications Management Corp. (“DCM” or the “Company”)(TSX:DCM), a leading provider of marketing and business communications solutions to companies across North America, is providing an update on the anticipated release of its fiscal 2019 financial results and the filing of its audited annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019, annual management's discussion and analysis ("MD&A") for the corresponding period, related management certifications of annual filings and its annual information form for the year ended December 31, 2019 (collectively, the "Filings).

Update on Progress Related to Financial Results and Filings

DCM plans to release its fiscal 2019 financial results after market close on June 8, 2020 and submit the related Filings on SEDAR at that time. The Company confirms it is working closely with its external auditors to complete the audit of the Company's 2019 annual financial statements.

DCM also announces it expects to issue its first quarter 2020 financial results the week of June 22, 2020, in advance of its annual and special general meeting of shareholders scheduled for June 26, 2020.

Until the Filings and any other outstanding periodic disclosure have been filed, the Company intends to continue to satisfy the provisions of the alternative information guidelines specified in National Policy 12-203 Cease Trade Orders for Continuous Disclosure Defaults (“NP 12-203”) by issuing such further default status reports as may be required in the form of further press releases for so long as the Company remains in default of the periodic disclosure filing requirements.

Default Status Report

DCM is providing this default status report with regards to the Filings in accordance with the alternative information guidelines set out in NP 12-203. DCM issued its original default announcement indicating it had applied for and received a Management Cease Trade Order (the “MCTO”) from the Ontario Securities Commission (“OSC”) on May 19, 2020, as a result of the delay in making its Filings beyond the filing deadline of May 14, 2020. DCM reports that, since issuing the original default announcement on May 19, 2020, there has been no material changes to the information contained therein, nor any failure by DCM to fulfill its intentions as stated therein, other than as set forth below.

The MCTO prohibits the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer from trading the Company's shares until the Company completes the Filings, and, pursuant to its insider trading policy, directors, officers and other insiders will remain in a trading blackout until after the Filings are current. On May 29, 2020 the OSC issued a supplemental Management Cease Trade Order (the “Supplemental MCTO”) following the Company’s announcement on May 25, 2020 that Gregory Cochrane would be taking a temporary medical leave of absence from his role as Chief Executive Officer and Michael Coté, President of the Company, would be assuming Mr. Cochrane’s responsibilities. The Supplemental MCTO prohibits Mr. Coté from trading the Company's shares until the Company completes the Filings.
