Forbidden Spirits Distilling Corp.

[Kelowna, BC – TheNewswire - May 2,  2022] Forbidden Spirits Distilling Corp. (TSXV:VDKA) - the "Company" or “Forbidden Spirits”), announced today it will not be in a position to file its annual audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021 and its related management's discussion and analysis and officer certifications (collectively, the "Required Filings") by today's prescribed filing deadline of May 2, 2022 (the "Filing Deadline"). The reason for the delay is additional information and analysis is necessary for the Company's auditors to complete their audit.

 

Management does not expect the issues described above to impact the financial reporting for Q1 2022.  The Company will submit the Required Filings as soon as possible and anticipates doing so not later than May 9, 2022.

The Company recognizes that this delay may result in the issuance of a failure to file cease trade order against the Company pursuant to National Policy 11-207 – Failure to File Cease Trade Orders and Revocations in Multiple Jurisdictions (a "CTO"), which will prohibit the trading by any person of any securities of the Company, including trades in the Company's common shares made through the TSX Venture Exchange. Once issued, the CTO will remain in place until such time as the Required Filings are filed by the Company.  In the event this occurs, the Company will issue further press release(s) with additional information.
