VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Aug. 08, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Aja Health and Wellness Inc. (“Aja” or the “Company”) (TSXV:Aja) announces that the Alberta Securities Commission (the “ASC“), as its principal regulator, has revoked the management cease trade order previously issued to the Company. On August 1, 2025, the ASC issued a Failure-to-File Cease Trade Order (the “FFCTO“) prohibiting the trading by any person of any securities of the Company.
The FFCTO was issued due to the delayed filing of the Company’s annual audited financial statements for the financial year ending December 31, 2024, including the related management’s discussion and analysis and certifications from the CEO and CFO (the “Annual Filings“) and the Company’s unaudited interim financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2025, the management’s discussion and analysis for the same period and management certifications of the interim filings (the “Interim Filings“) beyond the April 30, 2025 and May 30, 2025 deadline for the Annual Filings and Interim Filings, respectively.
The Company anticipates that the FFCTO will remain in place until such time as the Annual Filings and the Interim Filings are filed.
Update on Annual Filings
Aja previously announced that the delay in filing the Annual Filings was due to the determination that the previously announced reverse takeover transaction, which closed on September 17, 2024, will be characterized as a series of acquisitions for accounting purposes. This characterization requires a valuation of the purchase price allocation to complete the audited financial statements for the financial year ending December 31, 2024. The valuator continues to work on valuing the purchase price allocation and anticipates having the valuation finalized on or before August 15, 2025. Following receipt of the valuation, the auditors will continue working with the Company to complete the audited financial statements for the financial year ending December 31, 2024. The Company is working to complete the Annual Filings as soon as possible and expects the Annual Filings to be filed on or before August 29, 2025.
Update on Interim Filings
As a result of the delay in filing the Annual Filings, Aja previously announced that it was unable to file its Interim Filings. Aja is working to complete the Interim Filings as soon as possible and expects the Interim Filings to be filed on or before August 29, 2025.
