Frontenac Mortgage Investment Corporation Provides Bi-Weekly Update on Annual Filings and Provides an Update on Interim Filings for First Quarter of 2025 and Annual General Meeting
Frontenac Mortgage Investment Corporation (" FMIC" or the " Company") today provided an update with respect to its previously announced management cease trade order ("MCTO") in connection with the Company's filings of its audited annual financial statements (the " Audited Financial Statements") and management discussion and analysis (the " MD&A"), for the financial year ended December 31, 2024 and the applicable CEO and CFO certifications (together with the Audited Financial Statements and the MD&A, the " Annual Filings"). Further to its press release dated May 26, 2025 (the " Announcement"), its principal regulator, the Ontario Securities Commission, granted the MCTO on May 9, 2025. As previously announced, the Company applied for the MCTO due to a delay in the filing of the Company's annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024, the related management's discussion and analysis and the management certifications of annual filings (collectively, the " Required Documents"), which were due on April 30, 2025. The MCTO restricts the Company's former manager, W.A. Robinson & Associates Ltd. (" W.A. Robinson"), its former administrator, Pillar Financial Services Inc. (" Pillar"), and certain individuals who are or have been directors or officers of FMIC, W.A. Robinson and Pillar from all trading in securities of the Company until such time as the Required Documents have been filed by the Company and the MCTO has been lifted. The MCTO does not affect the ability of other shareholders of the Company to trade in securities of the Company. As previously disclosed, the delay in filing the Required Documents is due to delays experienced by the Company's external auditors, MNP LLP, in completing the audit of the annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024. The Company is continuing to work diligently with its external auditors to complete the audit and currently expects to file the Required Documents by June 30, 2025. The Company will issue a news release announcing completion of the filing of the Annual Filings at such time as they are completed and filed. Until the Required Documents are filed, the Company intends to comply with the provisions of the alternative information guidelines as set out in National Policy 12-203 – Management Cease Trade Orders (" NP 12-203") for as long as it remains in default, including the issuance of bi-weekly default status reports in the form of a news release. The Company confirms that since the date of the Announcement: (i) there has been no material change to the information set out in the Announcement that has not been generally disclosed; (ii) there has not been any other specified default by the Company under NP 12-203; (iii) the Company is not subject to any insolvency proceedings; and (iv) there is no material information concerning the affairs of the Company that has not been generally disclosed. Update on First Quarter Financials The aforementioned delay in filing the Annual Filings has created an additional delay in filing the First Quarter Financial Statements and related documents for the Company. The First Quarter statements were due to be filed on May 30, 2025. It is anticipated that the First Quarter Statements and Related Documents will be filed alongside, or shortly following, the Annual Filings. Update on 2025 Annual General Meeting The 2025 Annual General Meeting will be called later in 2025, due to the delay in the availability of the Annual Filings, which are a requirement for presentation at the Meeting. When the Board of Directors has set the Meeting Date, a Notice of Meeting will be communicated, and shareholder packages will be provided to registered shareholders of Frontenac.
