VANCOUVER, May 6, 2019 /CNW/ - RYU Apparel Inc. (TSXV: RYU, OTCQB: RYPPF) ("RYU" or the "Company") announces that it has been delayed in filing its audited annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018, the related management's discussion and analysis and certificates of its CEO and CFO (collectively, the "Filings") with Canadian securities regulators beyond the deadline of April 30, 2019.

The Company is working diligently with its auditors to make the Filings as soon as possible. Subject to the completion of remaining customary audit procedures, the Company expects to complete the required filings on or before Thursday, May 9, 2019.

In connection with this delay, the Company expects that the British Columbia Securities Commission ("BCSC") will be issuing a failure-to-file cease trade order ("FFCTO") against the Company. When issued, the Company expects the FFCTO to affect trading in all securities of the Company by securityholders of the Company, to apply in each jurisdiction in Canada in which the Company is a reporting issuer in Canada and to remain in effect until such time as the Company has made the Filings. Once the Filings are made (within 90 days of the date of the FFCTO), such filings will constitute the Company's application to have the FFCTO revoked.
