Republic Technologies Inc. (CSE: DOCT,OTC:DOCKF) (FSE: 7FM0) (OTCQB: DOCKF) (" Republic " or the " Company ") announces that it was unable to file its annual financial statements, management's discussion and analysis and the required certifications (the " Annual Filings ") on or before the prescribed filing deadline of April 30, 2026 (the " Annual Filing Deadline ") as required by National Instrument 51-102 Continuous Disclosure Obligations and National Instrument 52-109 Certification of Disclosure in Issuer's Annual and Interim Filings respectively.
The Company's auditor has advised that additional time is required to complete the audit of its annual financial statements for the year ended 2025, as the audit process has involved expanded review procedures, including the involvement of valuation specialists in relation to certain complex transactions. The Company and its auditor are working diligently to complete the audit and anticipate filing the required filings on or before June 29, 2026.
As a result, the Company filed an application to the British Columbia Securities Commission to approve a temporary management cease trade order (" MCTO ") under National Policy 12-203 – Management Cease Trade Orders (" NP 12-203 "). The MCTO was granted, effective May 1, 2026, prohibiting trading in securities of the Company by the CEO, Daniel Liu, CFO, Stevenson Ty and COO, Litong Cao. The issuance of a management cease trade order generally does not affect the ability of persons who have not been directors, officers or insiders of the Company to trade in the Company's shares, and will not impact the operation of the Company.
The Company expects to file the Annual Filings by June 29, 2026. The MCTO will be in effect until the Annual Filings are filed. The Company confirms that it will comply with the alternative information guidelines included in NP 12-203 so long as the Annual Filings are outstanding. The guidelines, among other things, require the Company to issue bi-weekly default status reports, in the form of news releases, for so long as the Annual Filings have not been filed.
The Company also confirms that there is no other material information concerning the affairs of the Company that has not been generally disclosed as of the date of this press release.
