Rokmaster Announces Extension of Filing Deadline for its Annual Financial Statements and MD&A and Other Corporate Updates
VANCOUVER, April 28, 2020 - Rokmaster Resources Corp. ("Rokmaster" or the "Company") announces that due to delays associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company will not be able to file its annual consolidated financial statements and accompanying management's discussion and analysis and related CEO and CFO certifications for the year ended December 31, 2019 (collectively, the "Annual Filings"), prior to April 29, 2020, in accordance with Sections 4.2 and 5.1(2) of National Instrument 51-102 – Continuous Disclosure Obligations. On March 18, 2020, the Canadian Securities Administrators (CSA) announced that they would provide issuers with a 45-day filing extension for filings required on or before June 1, 2020, to allow issuers the time needed to focus on the many other business and financial reporting implications of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Company will rely on this exemption with respect to the Annual Filings in accordance with BC Instrument 51-515 – Temporary Exemption from Certain Corporate Finance Requirements. The Company is continuing to work diligently and expeditiously to file the Annual Filings and currently expects them to be filed on or prior to the extended filing deadline of June 15, 2020.
Until the Annual Filings are filed, management and other insiders of the Company continue to be subject to a trading black-out policy that reflects the principles in section 9 of National Policy 11-207 - Failure-to-File Cease Trade Orders and Revocations in Multiple Jurisdictions.
The Company confirms that since the filing of its condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the period ended September 30, 2019, there have been no material business developments other than those that have been publicly disclosed as required under applicable securities laws and stock exchange requirements, and the developments disclosed below.
Other Corporate Developments:
The Company is pleased to announce that it has increased its previously announced non-brokered financing involving the sale of flow-through units from up to 8,000,000 to up to 8,888,889 flow-through units (the "Flow-Through Units") for gross proceeds of up to $1,800,000 to up to $2,000,000, respectively. The terms and use of proceeds from the sale of the Flow-Through Units will be the same as those described in the Company's news release dated April 27, 2020. The financing remains subject to regulatory approval.
Lastly, the Company has received notice of the filing of a Notice of Civil Claim in the Supreme Court of BC in respect of a claim for $111,863.73 made by Somji Consulting Ltd. ("Somji Consulting"), a consulting company controlled by former Rokmaster director Feisal Somji, in respect of monies that Somji Consulting alleges are owed to it pursuant to a prior consulting agreement between Rokmaster and Somji Consulting. Rokmaster disputes the amount claimed by Somji Consulting, and it intends to file a response to this matter.
