MONTRÉAL, QUEBEC–(Marketwired – June 28, 2013) –
NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES. ANY FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THIS RESTRICTION MAY CONSTITUTE A VIOLATION OF U.S. SECURITIES LAW
Majescor Resources Inc. (“Majescor” or the “Company“) (TSX VENTURE:MJX) announces that it will not be able to file its annual financial statements, accompanying management’s discussion and analysis and related CEO and CFO certifications for the financial year ended February 28, 2013 (collectively, the “2013 Annual Financial Statements”), within the period prescribed for the filing of such documents under Parts 4 and 5 of Regulation 51-102 respecting Continuous Disclosure Obligations and pursuant to Regulation 52-109 respecting Certification of Disclosure in Issuers’ Annual and Interim Filings, namely within 120 days of year-end, being June 28, 2013.
Majescor is currently not in a position to timely file its 2013 Annual Financial Statements, primarily as a result of additional time required for its auditors to complete the audit of the Company’s annual financial statements.
Majescor’s Board of Directors and its management are working expeditiously with the Company’s auditors, on a daily basis, to meet the Company’s obligations relating to the filing of the 2013 Annual Financial Statements. Furthermore, a weekly meeting is held by the Company’s audit committee with the auditors to discuss the advancement of the audit and to address any issue or matters pending. The Company expects to file the 2013 Annual Financial Statements on or before July 26, 2013.
As a result of the postponement in the filing of its 2013 Annual Financial Statements, Majescor has made an application to the Autorité des Marches financiers (the “AMF”) for a management cease trade order (the “MCTO”), which would restrict all trading in securities of the Company, whether direct or indirect, by management of the Company. The MCTO would not affect the ability of shareholders who are not insiders of the Company to trade their securities. There is no certainty that the MCTO will be granted. If the MCTO is not issued by the AMF, the applicable Canadian securities regulatory authorities could issue a general cease trade order against the Company for failure to file the 2013 Annual Financial Statements within the prescribed time period.
The Company confirms that it intends to satisfy the provisions of the alternative information guidelines found at sections 4.3 and 4.4 of Policy Statement 12-203 respecting Cease Trade Orders for Continuous Disclosure Defaults for so long as it remains in default as a result of the late filing of the 2013 Annual Financial Statements. During the period of default, Majescor will issue bi-weekly default status reports in the form of further press releases, which will also be filed on SEDAR. The Company confirms that there are no insolvency proceedings against it as of the date of this press release. The Company also confirms that there is no other material information concerning the affairs of the Company that has not been generally disclosed as of the date of this press release.
