This news release is not for distribution or dissemination in the United States of America

TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / November 13, 2020 / GreenBank Capital Inc. (CSE:GBC)(OTC PINK:GRNBF)(FRA:2TL) (“GreenBank” or “the Company”) announced today that it anticipates a delay in filing its audited annual financial statements for the year ended July 31, 2020 (the “Annual Financial Statements“), and the related management’s discussion and analysis and CEO and CFO certifications (the “Annual Filings“) due to delays concerning the collection of the required data and documentation to complete the audit of the Company and its subsidiaries caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company will work with its auditors to complete the audit of the Company’s Annual Financial Statements and expects to file the Annual Filings by January 31, 2020.

As a result of the anticipated delay in filing the Annual Filings, the Company has applied to the Ontario Securities Commission to request a management cease trade order (the “MCTO“) be issued in accordance with National Policy 12-203 – Management Cease Trade Orders (“NP 12-203“).

Assuming that the MCTO application is accepted by the Ontario Securities Commission, during the period in which the MCTO is in effect, the general investing public will continue to be able to trade in the Company’s common shares listed on the Canadian Securities Exchange. However, for the duration of the MCTO, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer will not be able to trade in the Company’s common shares, nor will the Company be able to, directly or indirectly, issue securities to or acquire securities from an insider or employee of the Company except in accordance with legally binding obligations to do so existing as of November 30, 2020, being the date of the Company’s anticipated continuous disclosure default. The Company has also imposed an insider trading blackout pending filing of the Annual Filings. The Company confirms that it will comply with the alternative information guidelines set forth in NP 12-203 for so long as it remains in default of the requirement to file the Annual Filings. The MCTO will remain in effect until the Company files the Annual Filings or the MCTO is otherwise revoked or varied.
