Aether Catalyst Delays Filing Q1 2020 Financial Results

Aether Catalyst Solutions, Inc. (“Aether” or the “Company”) (CSE: ATHR) (Frankfurt: 2QZ). Following its press release of April 29, 2020, the Company is providing a further update on the status of filing of its annual financial statements, management’s discussion and analysis and related CEO and CFO certificates for the year ended December 31, 2019 (collectively, the “Annual Filings”). On March 18, 2020, the Canadian Securities Administrators announced that they would provide issuers with a 45-day filing extension for filings required on or before June 1, 2020, as a result of COVID-19 pandemic. As such, the British Columbia Securities Commission has enacted BC Instrument 51-515 Temporary Exemption from Certain Corporate Finance Requirements (“BCI 51- 515″).

In its April 29, 2020, press release, the Company announced its reliance on the exemption with respect to extending the deadline of the required filings pursuant to BCI 51-515. The Company currently still expects to file the Annual Filings on or prior to June 15, 2020. The Company will also rely on BCI 51-515 to extend the deadline of filing its first-quarter consolidated interim financial statements, accompanying management’s discussion and analysis, and related CEO and CFO certificates for the three months ended March 31, 2020 (collectively, the ” First-Quarter Filings”), which are required to be filed by June 1, 2020 under sections 4.3 and 4.4 of National Instrument 51-102 – Continuous Disclosure Obligations. The Company is continuing to work diligently and currently expects to have the First-Quarter Filings filed on or prior to the extended filing deadline of July 16, 2020. As required by BC Instrument 51-515, and similar Instruments and Orders enacted in Alberta, Saskatchewan and Ontario, the Company discloses the following: Until such time as the Company has filed the Annual Filings and the First-Quarter Filings, members of management and other insiders are subject to a trading black-out policy that reflects the principles in section 9 of National Policy 11-207 Failure-to-File Cease Trade Orders and Revocations in Multiple Jurisdictions.

The Company confirms that there have been no material business developments, other than those announced through news releases, since November 2019 when the Company filed its third quarter interim financial results for the period ended September 30, 2019.
