Intellipharmaceutics Announces Delay in Filing Second Quarter Results Due July 15, 2022, The Financial Statements Will be Filed By July 21, 2022
TORONTO, Ontario, July 15, 2022 - Intellipharmaceutics International Inc. (OTCQB:IPCIF and TSX:IPCI) ("Intellipharmaceutics" or the "Company"), a pharmaceutical company specializing in the research, development and manufacture of novel and generic controlled-release and targeted-release oral solid dosage drugs, announced today that its financial statements for the interim period ended May 31, 2022 and related management's discussion and analysis and accompanying Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer certificates (collectively, the "Second Quarter Financial Filings") due July 15, 2022 (the "Filing Deadline") will not be filed by the Filing Deadline.
Despite avoiding any major COVID-19 outbreaks across its various divisions, the spread of the Omicron variant led to certain senior management of the Company contracting the virus. Fighting symptoms of COVID-19 made it difficult to meet the Filing Deadline, but the Company is working expeditiously to finalize the Second Quarter Financial Filings and expects to file the Second Quarter Financial Filings by July 21, 2022. While the delay in filing the Second Quarter Financial Filings is largely due to COVID-19, the Company continues to operate as usual.
Since the Company will fail to file the Second Quarter Financial Filings by the Filing Deadline, as required by National Instrument 51-102 - Continuous Disclosure Obligations, the securities commissions or regulators may impose a failure-to-file cease trade order against all of the shareholders of the Company. As the Company endeavors to file the Second Quarter Financial Filings by July 21, 2022, the Company expects any issued failure-to-file cease trade order to be revoked within a couple of days following the filing of the Second Quarter Financial Filings.
The Company will issue a news release once the Second Quarter Financial Filings have been filed.
