TORONTO, Feb. 05, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — EEStor Corporation (TSX.V: ESU) (“EEStor” or the “Corporation”) announces that it remains unable to file its 2019 annual audited financial statements, the related management’s discussion and analysis, and CEO and CFO certifications (collectively, the “Required Filings”), which were due on or before January 28, 2020. The Corporation confirms that it was granted a voluntary management cease trade order by the Ontario Securities Commission on January 29, 2020.
The annual financial statements and annual management’s discussion and analysis and the associated audit work is in process, but the Corporation is unable to complete and file such materials pending the completion of the audit.

The Corporation continues to expect the audit to be completed in the coming weeks and anticipates being in a position to complete the Required Filings no later than February 28, 2020.The Corporation confirms that it intends to satisfy the provisions of the alternative information guidelines described in Section 9 and Section 10 of National Policy 12-203 (Management Cease Trade Orders) for so long as it remains in default of the requirement to file the Required Filings.
