VANCOUVER, British Columbia, April 17, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Amcomri Entertainment Inc. (the “Company”) (Cboe CA: AMEN) (Frankfurt: 25YO) (OTC: AMNNF) is providing this status update in accordance with its obligations under National Policy 12-203 – Management Cease Trade Orders (“NP 12-203”), which require the Company to provide bi-weekly updates until such time as the Company is current with its filing obligations under Canadian securities laws.

As previously announced, the Company is subject to a management cease trade order (“MCTO”) issued by its principal regulator, the British Columbia Securities Commission (“BCSC”), dated April 3, 2024.

The MCTO does not affect the ability of investors who are not insiders to trade in the securities of the Company.
