RNS Number : 1194E Bradda Head Lithium Ltd 28 June 2023
Bradda Head Lithium Limited
Canadian Regulatory Announcement: Agreement regarding Late Filing of Annual
Financial Statements and Application for Management Cease Trade Order
The Company has today published the following announcement in Canada regarding
the timing for release of its Financial Statements for the year ended 28
February 2023. This will not impact on the deadline for publishing the
Financial Statements as required under AIM Rule 19.
Vancouver, British Columbia - (June 28, 2023) - Bradda Head Lithium Limited
(AIM:BHL, TSXV:BHLI, OTCQB:BHLIF) ("Bradda Head" or the "Company") announces
the Company's potential delay in filing its annual financial statements for
the year ended February 28, 2023 and related management discussion and
analysis (collectively, the "Financial Statements") and the CEO and CFO
certificates relating to the Financial Statements (the "Required Filings")
beyond the prescribed filing deadlines.
The Company's potential delay in filing its Required Filings on time is due to
the fact that it has engaged PKF Littlejohn LLP as new auditors, as announced
in the Company's news release dated June 13, 2023 and the Notice of Change of
Auditors filed on the Company's profile on SEDAR on June 19, 2023.
Considering the foregoing factors, it is the Company's view that should the
Required Filings not be filed by June 28, 2023, then the present circumstances
warrant the imposition of a management cease trade order ("Management CTO"),
rather than a cease trade order ("CTO"), as contemplated under National Policy
12-203 - Management Cease Trade Orders ("NP 12-203"). The Company has applied
for a Management CTO.
The Company proposes to remedy the default working with its new auditor to
ensure the filing of its Required Filings as soon as possible. The Company
expects to be in a position to issue and file the Required Filings by no later
than August 28, 2023. The Company confirms that the filing extension does not
impact on its reporting timetable, as required under AIM Rules.
The Company therefore fully expects to file its Required Filings prior to the
end of the period prescribed by NP 12-203. The Company has confirmed that it
intends to satisfy the provisions of the alternative information guidelines
described in sections 9 and 10 of NP 12-203 for so long as it remains in
default for failure to file the Required Filings. Should the Company fail to
file the appropriate Default Status Reports as prescribed by NP 12-203, the
securities commissions or regulators may, as a result of such failure, impose
a CTO.
The Company confirms that it is not subject to any insolvency proceeding as of
the date hereof. The Company also confirms that there is no other material
information concerning the affairs of the Company that have not been generally
disclosed as of the date herein. The Board and the Audit and Risk Committee
confirmed that there are no disagreements or unresolved matters between KPMG
and the Company relating to the proposed change of Auditor, and no other
matters in respect of the change of Auditor that need to be brought to the
attention of the Shareholders.
