GetSwift Technologies Limited Announces Cease Trade Order Issued by the British Columbia Securities Commission

NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–$GSW #delivery—GetSwift Technologies Limited (“GetSwift” or the “Corporation“; NEO: “GSW”), a leading provider of last mile SaaS logistics technology, announces that the British Columbia Securities Commission (the “Commission”), the Corporation’s principal regulator, has issued a cease trade order (the “Order”) as a result of the delay in filing the Corporation’s audited annual financial statements for its year ended June 30, 2021 and related management’s discussion and analysis (collectively, the “2021 Annual Financial Statements”), the Corporation’s Annual Information Form for the year-ended June 30, 2021 (the “AIF”), and the CEO and CFO certifications to be delivered in respect of the 2021 Annual Financial Statements and the AIF (the “Certifications”).

The delay in the filing of the 2021 Annual Financial Statements is due to the Corporation’s auditor requiring more time to complete its audit procedures related to the Corporation’s annual financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2021.

As a result of the Order, a person or company must not trade in or purchase a security of the Corporation in any jurisdiction in which the Corporation is a reporting issuer, except in accordance with certain conditions that are contained in the Order, for so long as the Order remains in effect. The Order provides that, despite the Order, a beneficial security holder of the Corporation who is not, and was not as at October 5, 2021 (the “Order Date”), an insider or control person of the Corporation, may sell securities of the Corporation acquired before the Order Date if (1) the sale is made through a “foreign organized regulated market”, as defined in section 1.1 of the Universal Market Integrity Rules of the Investment Industry Regulatory Organization of Canada and (2) the sale is made through an investment dealer registered in a jurisdiction of Canada in accordance with applicable securities legislation. Holders of the Corporation’s securities are urged to consult with their own investment or legal advisors about the implications of the Order.

The Order takes automatic effect in each jurisdiction of Canada that has a statutory reciprocal order provision, subject to the terms of the local securities legislation, and provides that trading cease in respect of each security of the Corporation. In addition, commencing October 6, 2021, the common shares of the Corporation listed on the NEO Exchange will be halted from trading while the Order remains in effect.

As disclosed in the Corporation’s news release dated October 4, 2021, the Corporation has provided its auditor with all information within the time required by the auditor to complete its audit procedures in compliance with applicable laws. The Corporation stands ready to assist, and provide any resources necessary, for the auditor to promptly complete its audit so that the 2021 Annual Financial Statements, the AIF, and the Certifications can be finalized and filed as soon as practicable.

The Corporation anticipates the filing the 2021 Annual Financial Statements, AIF, and Certifications will initiate the review process by the Commission for a revocation of the Order, which the Corporation anticipates will be issued in due course following such filing.
