TORONTO, May 1, 2024 /CNW/ -- ApartmentLove Inc. (CSE: APLV) ("ApartmentLove" or the "Company"), a leading provider of online home, apartment, and vacation rental marketing services to property managers, owners, renters, and vacationers from around the world has announced the Company's delay in filing its annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 and related management discussion and analysis (collectively, the "Financial Statements"), and the CEO and CFO certificates relating to the Financial Statements (the "Required Filings"), beyond the prescribed filing deadline of April 29, 2024 (the "Filing Deadline").

The Company's delay in filing its Required Filings by the Filing Deadline is due to unexpected delays and requirements in the information gathering process for the year ended December 31, 2023 audit of the Company, which was carried out by RSM Canada LLP, the Company's auditor (the "Auditor"). The Company has been using its best efforts to provide all information and documents requested by the Auditor as soon as possible, however additional information and document requests have been received as of the Filing Deadline which the Company is in the process of responding to. As a result of recent new and additional requests from the Auditor for information and documents, the Company was unable to file the Required Filings as of the Filing Deadline.

Considering the foregoing factors, it is the Company's view that should the present circumstances warrant the imposition of a management cease trade order ("Management CTO"), rather than an issuer cease trade order, as contemplated under National Policy 12-203 – Management Cease Trade Orders ("NP 12-203"). The Company has applied for a Management CTO, however there is no assurance that it will be granted.

The Company proposes to remedy the default by diligently working with the Auditor to ensure the filing of its Required Filings as soon as possible. The Company expects to be in a position to issue and file the Required Filings by May 17, 2024, and in any event within two months after the Filing Deadline.

The Company therefore fully expects to file its Required Filings prior to the expiration of the two month period after the Filing Deadline as prescribed by NP 12-203. Further, the Company has confirmed that it intends to satisfy the provisions of the alternative information guidelines described in Sections 9 and 10 of NP 12-203 for so long as it remains in default for failure to file the Required Filings. Should the Company fail to file the appropriate Default Status Reports as prescribed by NP 12-203, the securities commissions or regulators may, as a result of such failure, impose an Issuer Cease Trade Order.

The Company confirms that it is not subject to any insolvency proceeding as of the date hereof. The Company also confirms that there is no other material information concerning the affairs of the Company that have not been generally disclosed as of the date herein.
