On March 18, 2020, the Canadian Securities Administrators ("CSA") issued a notice stating that securities regulators will be providing coordinated relief consisting of a 45-day extension for certain periodic filings required to be made on or prior to June 1, 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, which was further updated on May 20, 2020 to extend the relief for filings required to be made between June 2, 2020 and August 31, 2020.

The Company will be relying on this extension period due to delays experienced as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic with respect to the Interim Filings.

The Company continues to work diligently and expeditiously in order to file the Interim Filings on or before September 14, 2020.  In the interim, members of the Company's management and other insiders are subject to a trading black-out policy that reflects the principles in section 9 of National Policy 11-207.
