Quebec City, Canada – TheNewswire - August 31st, 2020 - NuRAN Wireless Inc. (“NuRAN” or the “Company”) (CSE:NUR) (CNSX:NUR.CN) (OTC:NRRWF) (FSE:1RN), a leading supplier of mobile and broadband wireless solutions, announces that its wholly-owned subsidiary and operating company Nutaq Innovation, Inc. ("Nutaq") has ceased its operations in view of filing an insolvency proceeding with the Office of the Superintendent of Bankruptcy under the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act (Canada) (the "BIA").

Further to the Company's news release dated August 26, 2020, the Company has still not reached an agreement to receive a forbearance in connection with its outstanding senior secured convertible debentures (the “Debentures”) and is currently in material default of the Debentures in the principal amount of $2,835,000 plus accrued interest. In connection with Nutaq’s cease of operation and upcoming filing for insolvency, a total of 33 employees at its head office in Quebec were laid off.

Nutaq's liquidity position has deteriorated as a result of various factors, including, but not limited to, negative cash flow from operations, an inability to secure additional sources of financing and increasing pressure to make payments to its creditors.

The Company also announces that all current board members and officers of NuRAN except for Francis Létourneau have resigned from their respective positions. Mr. Létourneau has been appointed as CEO and CFO of the Company to fill the vacancy of the departing officers, and continues to explore various options to resolve the working capital deficiency including restructuring, completing an equity or debt financing, or the sale of the Company’s assets. To meet such funding requirements, the Company may be required to undertake additional equity financing, which would be dilutive to shareholders. Debt financing, if available, may also involve restrictions on financing and operating activities. There is no assurance that such additional financing will be available on terms acceptable to the Company or at all. If the Company is unable to obtain additional financing as needed, it may be required to seek creditor protection. No assurances can be given that the Company will be able to raise the additional funding that may be required for such activities. The Company will provide further updates on the course of action as developments occur.

The Board and Management would like to acknowledge the outstanding efforts of Nutaq's employees in light of  recent difficulties experienced by the Company. We would also like to thank the vendors and professional service providers who have supported the Company' efforts during this difficult time.
