FRX Innovations Inc. Updates Late Filing of Annual Financial Statements and Management Cease Trade Order

VANCOUVER, British Columbia – TheNewswire - June 13, 2024 – FRX Innovations (TSXV:FRXI) (FSE:W2A.F) (“FRX” or the “Company”), previously announced that, as a result of delays in completion of its audit, the Company had not filed its annual financial statements and accompanying management's discussion and analysis for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 (the "Annual Filings") by April 30, 2024, being the date that such filings are due under applicable Canadian securities law requirements.

The Company was granted a management cease trade order (the "MCTO") by the Ontario Securities Commission (”OSC”) on May 10, 2024. Due to unforeseen circumstances, the audit has been further delayed and the OSC has today granted a further extension of two weeks beyond the original sixty days.

The Company further reports that its comprehensive standstill agreement with its major lender expired according to its original terms but prior to the Company’s completion of its strategic options process as contemplated by the agreement.

As the strategic options process is ongoing, the Company and its major lender are diligently engaged in negotiations to extend the arrangement and are currently operating under the assumption that the standstill agreement remains in effect in order to provide a clear pathway for the strategic options process to unfold.

Further updates will be provided as negotiations progress.

Until the Company files the Annual Filings, it will comply with the alternative information guidelines set out in National Policy 12-203. The guidelines, among other things, require the Company to issue bi-weekly status reports by way of a news release so long as the Annual Filings have not been filed.

During the MCTO, officers, directors, and other special relationship persons are in a blackout period for the duration of the (anticipated) default and have been advised of this by the Company.

Neither TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined in policies of the TSX Venture Exchange) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.
