Windfall Geotek Announces Temporary TSXV Trading Halt
DOES NOT CONSTITUTE AN OFFER OF THE SECURITIES DESCRIBED HEREIN
Brossard, Quebec / The Newswire / February 15, 2024 – Windfall Geotek Inc. (“Windfall” or the “Company”) (TSXV:WIN) (OTC:WINKF) (FSE:L7C2) a leader in the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) with advanced knowledge-extraction techniques in the mining sector announces that, further to its press release of February 13, 2024, the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSXV”) has issued a temporary trading halt in connection with the resignations of Kulvir Gill, Nathan Tribble, and Simran Kamboj from the Company’s board of directors.
On February 12, 2024, each of Mr. Gill, Mr. Tribble, and Mr. Kamboj gave notice at a board of directors’ meeting that they were resigning, despite holding themselves out for election to the board at the Company’s recent annual general meeting held on December 20, 2023. Following these resignations, the Company’s board of directors currently only consists of one member, David Beck, such that the Company does not meet the TSXV Tier 2 continued listing requirements. The TSXV has advised the Company that trading will be suspended until such time as replacement board members are appointed and approved by the TSXV. Had the Company been given the opportunity to coordinate an orderly transition of the board of directors, the halt would not be necessary.
David Beck, CEO of Windfall, commented:
“Yesterday Windfall announced the resignation of three of the Company’s board members: Simran Karboj, Kulvir Gill and Nathan Tribble. After speaking with the TSXV, it was made clear that the Company cannot resume trading until we have at minimum 3 directors. Unfortunately, this halt could have been completely avoided if we had co-ordinated an orderly transition of the BOD. As it stands the Company’s stock will be halted for likely the next couple weeks as we evaluate, secure, and on-board new directors. As you may suspect, in joining Windfall, I recognized the need to evolve the company’s board, and, as such, have been in discussion with several excellent prospective candidates. Obviously this is a priority task for me to complete.”
