ROCK CREEK, BC - TheNewswire - February 28, 2022 - SpeakEasy Cannabis Club Ltd. (CSE:EASY) (CNSX:EASY.CN) (Frankfurt:39H) (the “Company” or “SpeakEasy”), a holder of a federal licence to cultivate, process and sell cannabis under the Cannabis Act wishes to confirm that since the date of its press release of February 22, 2022, it has adhered to the MCTO previously issued by the BCSC and continued to work towards completing and filing its audited financial statements and accompanying management discussion and analysis for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2021 (the “Required Filings”) before February 28, 2022, however, it now confirms that it will not meet that deadline.  The British Columbia Securities Commission (the “BCSC”) has confirmed to the Company that it is not in a position to grant any further extension of MCTO beyond February 28, 2022.

As the Company has failed to file the Required Filings and any other required continuous disclosure filings within the timeframes stipulated by the BCSC, it is expected that the BCSC will issue a general cease trade order (“CTO”) against the Company and its securities which shall remain in place until such time as the Required Filings are completed.  The Company is actively and expeditiously working with its auditors to complete the audit work necessary for the Required Filings at which point the Company will seek to have the CTO revoked and trading reinstated on the CSE.

The Company does not expect an interruption of the operations of the Company during the CTO.
