On June 21, 2022, the company announced the signing of two letters of intent to acquire complementary technology companies in the areas of business intelligence, advanced data analytics and public safety softwares powered by artificial intelligence. On May 1, 2023, and with an update on May 30, 2023, the company announced its intention to close the acquisition of one of these two companies by June 15, 2023.

On April 14, 2023, the company announced a late filing of its consolidated annual financial statements following the change of auditor. The board of directors and management of the company confirm that they are working diligently to file the required documents and intend to do so as soon as they are available, no later than June 30, 2023, and confirm that there is no other material information regarding the affairs of the company that has not been disclosed in a general manner. At the request of the corporation, on May 3, 2023, the corporation announced that the Autorite des marches financiers (AMF) has issued a management cease of trade order (MCTO) for executive officers in connection with the company's delay in filing its consolidated annual financial statements, management's discussion and analysis, and related certifications for the year ended Dec. 31, 2022. An update was given on May 16, 2023, and May 30, 2023.

On May 1, 2023, the company announced its intention to complete a private placement for an aggregate amount of $975,000 through the issuance of 19.5 million units at a price of five cents per unit. The company also expects to enter into loan agreements with related persons for a total amount of $575,000.

Outlook

In the spring of 2023, the corporation made available its voting system for the return of La Voix on TVA. This ninth season recalled how much viewers were attached to the show and especially to the live broadcast that calls them to support their favourites. The vote took place from March 19, 2023, to April 9, 2023.

Since the signing of the letters of intent, announced on June 21 and updated on May 30, the company has focused these efforts primarily on the acquisition of one of the two targets and intends to close its acquisition by June 15, 2023. The company and the target's management are already working in partnership on certain files and have put in place a transition team that operates constructively and effectively so that the operational consolidation between the two organizations will be almost immediate upon the closing of the transaction.

"In a context marked by labour shortages, we are very encouraged by the quality of the human resources of the two targets with whom we have had to collaborate. In a tightening financial market, we firmly believe in the closing of this transaction and that it will be very beneficial for ATW and the targets shareholders, its customers and its employees," said Michel Guay, president and chief executive officer.

The synergy of the company's expertise, skills and technologies in the fields of data analytics, artificial intelligence and machine learning will bring innovative client companies operational improvements that will provide real and significant measurable productivity and profitability gains.

The information presented above is a summary of the highlights. For additional information, please refer to the company's interim condensed consolidated financial statements and the management's discussion and analysis for the three months ended March 31, 2023.
