May 2, 2014 – Toronto, Ontario – Matica Graphite Inc. (CSE;GRF) (“Matica” or the “Company”) announces today that the filing of the Company’s audited annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013, including the related management discussion and analysis, and CEO and CFO certifications (collectively, the “Annual Financial Filings”) were not be made by the required filing deadline of April 30, 2014 (the “Filing Deadline”). There was a delay in delivery of Matica’s financial statements to its auditors in a timely fashion. Based on discussions with its auditors, Matica believes that the Annual Financial Statements together with the auditor’s report thereon should be finalized by May 22, 2014 and filed, together with Matica’s annual management’s discussion and analysis for the 2013 fiscal year, by the next business day, namely by May 23, 2014.
The Company has filed an application (the “Application”) with the Ontario Securities Commission (“OSC”), as its principal regulator, for a management cease trade order (“Management Cease Trade Order”) in accordance with National Policy 12-203 – Cease Trade Orders For Continuous Disclosure Defaults (“NP 12-203”) If approved, this application would give the Company extra time to complete its audit and file its annual financials without a full cease-trade order being issued.
Until the Annual Financial Filings have been filed, the Company intends to continue to satisfy the provisions of the alternative information guidelines under Policy Statement 12-203 by issuing bi-weekly default status reports in the form of further press releases, which will also be filed on SEDAR.
