Vancouver, British Columbia, and Aliso Viejo, California - TheNewswire - December 13, 2023 - PowerTap Hydrogen Capital Corp. (NEO:MOVE) (OTC:MOTND) (“PowerTap” or the “Company” or “MOVE”) announces that further to its press release dated November 24, 2023, the British Columbia Securities Commission (the "BCSC") has issued a failure to file cease trade order against the Company ("FTFCTO") which orders that general trading, whether direct or indirect, by any person, of the securities of the Company, cease, which includes trading of the shares of the Company on the NEO Exchange operated by CBOE Canada Inc.

The Company is diligently working with its auditor, Ziefmans LLP to conclude the filings at the earliest possible time and the Company will issue a news release announcing completion of such filings at such time.

The Company announced via press release dated September 29, 2023 (the "Delayed Filing Announcement") that it had submitted an application to the BCSC for a management cease trade order (the "MCTO") pursuant to NP 12-203. The application for the MCTO was made in connection with the delay in filing the Company's audited annual financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2023, the related management's discussion and analysis, annual information form and CEO and CFO certifications (such filings, collectively, the "Annual Filings"), which were required to be filed on or before December 11, 2023.

The MCTO was issued by the BCSC on September 29, 2023, extending the deadline for filing the Annual Filings to December 11, 2023. The MCTO prevented the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer from trading in the Company's securities but did not affect the ability of other shareholders, including the public, to trade in securities of the Company.

The FTFCTO will remain in effect until the receipt by the BCSC of all filings the Company is required to make under British Columbia securities law.
