MINNEAPOLIS, April 27, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Vireo Health International, Inc. ("Vireo" or the "Company") (CNSX: VREO; OTCQX: VREOF), the science-focused multi-state cannabis company with active operations in exclusively medical-only markets and licenses in nine states and the commonwealth of Puerto Rico, today announced an update on the status of the filing of its 2019 fourth quarter and year-end financial results and accompanying management's discussion and analysis for the financial year ended December 31, 2019 (collectively, the "Annual Filings"), which were initially required to be filed by April 29, 2020 under National Instrument 51-102 Continuous Disclosure Obligations.
On March 23, 2020, the Canadian Securities Administrators published substantively harmonized temporary exemptions from certain regulatory filing requirements that 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 COVID-19. The Company will rely on these exemptions with respect to the Annual Filings.
The Company expects to file the Annual Filings before market open on May 14, 2020. The Company will hold a conference call and webcast to discuss its business and financial results that same day at 8:30 a.m. Eastern Time (7:30 a.m. Central Time). A question and answer session will follow prepared remarks. A live audio webcast of the call will be available in the Events & Presentations section of Vireo's website at https://investors.vireohealth.com/events-and-presentations/default.aspx. The conference call may also be accessed by dialing 866-211-3165 (Toll-Free) or 647-689-6580 (International) and entering conference ID 3986853. A webcast replay will be available for one year on Vireo's website.
In the interim, management and other insiders of the Company are 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.
Other than as previously disclosed by the Company, there have been no material business developments since the date of the Company's most recent filing of its interim Financial Statements and Management Discussion and Analysis.
