VAUGHAN, ON, Nov. 26, 2019 /PRNewswire/ - CannTrust Holdings
Inc. ("CannTrust" or the "Company", TSX: TRST, NYSE: CTST) today
announced that the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") has advised the
Company that it intends to review CannTrust's eligibility for
continued listing of the Company's common shares on the TSX,
pursuant to Part VII of the TSX Company Manual.
The TSX indicated that the review is a result of the Company
being in arrears for satisfying certain disclosure requirements,
namely the preparation and filing of the Company's restated audited
financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018, its restated interim financial
statements for the first quarter of 2019, and its interim financial
statements for the second and third quarters of 2019, together with
the related management's discussion and analysis ("MD&A") for
the corresponding periods. The TSX has advised that, if the Company
is unable to cure those defaults by March
25, 2020, the Company's securities will be delisted 30 days
following such date. The Company's securities will continue to
trade normally during this period.
CannTrust anticipates filing those disclosures and meeting the
TSX's requirements before March 25,
2020. The Company continues to make progress in working with
its independent auditor in connection with preparing its financial
statements and corresponding MD&A.
