Rowell Torres Subject: Pontus - News Release re MCTO Update - May 2023(56717562.1) (002) Word Document File: '\\swfile\EmailIn\20230512 113032 Attachment Pontus - News Release re MCTO Update - May 2023(56717562.1) (002).docx' PONTUS PROTEIN PROVIDES UPDATE ON STATUS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Vancouver, BC., May 12, 2023. Pontus Protein Ltd. (TSXV: HULK, OTCQB: HLKKF, FSE: 8YC) ("Pontus" or the "Company") is providing an update to its previously announced management cease trade order (the "MCTO") granted by the British Columbia Securities Commission (the "BCSC") under National Policy 12-203 - Management Cease Trade Orders ("NP 12-203"). Pursuant to the MCTO, the Company's CEO, Avtar Dhaliwal, and the Company's CFO, Andy Wu, may not trade in securities of the Company until such time as the Company files its annual audited financial statements, annual management's discussion and analysis and related certifications for the year ended November 30, 2022 (collectively, the "Required Documents"), and the BCSC revokes the MCTO. The MCTO does not affect the ability of other shareholders to trade their securities. The Company has not yet filed the Required Documents, however Pontus is working diligently with its auditors and expects that the Required Documents will be filed as soon as possible. The delay in filing the required documents is in connection with sale of the Company's Aquaponics business and recent changes to both the management and the auditors of the Company. Pontus also confirms that it intends to satisfy the provisions of NP 12-203 and issue bi-weekly default status reports for so long as they remain in default of the financial statement filing requirement, containing any material changes to the information in this release, all actions taken by Pontus to remedy the default, particulars of any failure by the Company to fulfill these provisions, any subsequent defaults of Pontus requiring a default announcement and any other material information concerning the affairs of the Company not previously disclosed.
