VANCOUVER, BC, Nov. 4, 2021 /CNW/ - TGS Esports Inc.
("TGS" or the "Company") (TSXV: TGS) (OTCQB:
TGSEF) (FRA: 5RH) announces that the British Columbia
Securities Commission (the "BCSC") has issued a Cease Trade
Order (the "CTO") as a result of the Company's failure to
file its audited financial statements for its year ended
June 30, 2021 and related
management's discussion and analysis (collectively, the "Annual
Filings") by October 28, 2021,
being the date that such filings were due under applicable
Canadians securities law requirements.
The cause of the delay is not material to the Company or its
operations and is primarily due to the accounting treatment of the
previously announced acquisitions of Pepper Esports, Volcanic
Media, Even Matchup Gaming, and strategic investment in Mountain
Side Games.
Revocation of the CTO is expected to occur shortly after the
filing of the required Annual Filings, at which time TGS's common
shares will resume trading on the TSX Venture Exchange.
A copy of the Order has been posted on the BCSC's website at:
https://www.bcsc.bc.ca/enforcement/early-intervention/cease-trade-orders.
