Sparta Capital receives MCTO

SPARTA CAPITAL ANNOUNCES ISSUING OF MANAGEMENT CEASE TRADE ORDER

Further to its Jan. 26, 2024, news release, Sparta Capital Ltd. has received the order from the Alberta Securities Commission (ASC) after filing an application seeking a management cease trade order (MCTO) under National Policy 12-203 (Management Cease Trade Orders).

In the default announcement, Sparta reported that it had completed an application seeking an order for a MCTO from the ASC because the company was unable to file its annual financial statements for the year ended Sept. 30, 2023, including the related management's discussion and analysis and certifications from the chief executive officer and chief financial officer in time to meet the Jan. 29, 2024, filing deadline. The delay in filing the annual filings is largely related to the unexpected and sudden passing of a former director and key officer, John O'Bireck, and the transition of day-to-day operations to a new management team. Mr. O'Bireck was responsible for all the operations of the issuer, including liaising with the auditor. During this transitionary period, there have been unavoidable delays in responding to information requests from the auditor resulting in a delay in completion of the annual filings. The company expects to file the annual filings on or before March 29, 2024.

While the MCTO restricts all trading in securities of the company by the chief executive officer and chief financial officer of the company until the management cease trade order is no longer in effect, regular trading by current and future investors, continues as normal. The MCTO will be in effect until two full business days following the receipt of the principal regulator that all filings the issuer was required to make have been filed.

The new management team report that it will be business as usual while the annual filings are being completed. Currently, the company is focused on growth within its environment division, specifically its e-waste recycling facilities in both Toronto and Oman, as well as plans to unveil a one-of-a-kind mobile app for truckers through its TruckSuite Canada operations.

Until the annual filings are filed, the company intends to satisfy the provisions of the alternative information guidelines set out in National Policy 12-203 (Management Cease Trade Orders).

The company confirms that, other than what was disclosed in prior press releases, there have been no material business developments since the filing of the company's latest interim financial report.
