Metamaterial Inc. has postponed the filing of the annual financial statements of Metamaterial Technologies Inc. for the year ended December 31, 2019. 

Metamaterial Inc. (the “Company” or “META”) (CSE:MMAT) announced today that due predominantly to the challenges associated with dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic the Company has postponed the filing of the annual financial statements of Metamaterial Technologies Inc. (“MTI”) for the year ended December 31, 2019 (the “MTI Annual Financial Statements”).  The MTI Annual Financial Statements were required to be filed no later than April 29, 2020 by META pursuant to securities laws. MTI amalgamated with Continental Precious Minerals Subco Inc. (“CPM Subco”) effective as of March 5, 2020 to form Metacontinental Inc., which is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of META.

The work from home policies in place as a result of COVID-19 have contributed to the delay in the timely completion of the filing of the MTI Annual Financial Statements. META is relying on exemptive relief recently granted by Canadian securities regulatory authorities that allows it to delay the filing of its annual documents required by National Instrument 51-102 by April 29, 2020. In response to the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic, securities regulatory authorities in Canada have granted a blanket exemption allowing issuers an additional 45 days to complete their regulatory filings.

META estimates that the MTI Annual Financial Statements will be available for filing at its earliest opportunity, which is expected to occur in mid-May 2020. Until such time as the MTI Annual Financial Statements are filed, META’s management and other insiders will be subject to a trading blackout that reflects the principles contained in section 9 of National Policy 11-207 – Failure-to-File Cease Trade Orders and Revocations in Multiple Jurisdictions.

There have been no material business developments since the date of the last interim financial statements, filed on January 28, 2020, a copy of which is available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com. The interim financial results for the three and nine month periods of the Company, ending February 29, 2020, pre the amalgamation between MTI and CPM Subco, will be filed by the close of business on April 29, 2020, which, once filed, will be available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
