(“Forsys” or the “Company”) (TSX: FSY) (FSE: F2T) (NSX:FSY) announced today that the Ontario Securities Commission has issued a failure-to-file cease trade order (the “Order”) as a result of the Company’s delay in the filing of its annual audited financial statements, management’s discussion and analysis and related CEO and CFO certifications for the year ended December 31, 2018 and the annual information form for the year ended December 31, 2018 (the “2018 Annual Financial Materials”).
