AI Sentiment: Cautiously bearish
Reason: Numinus Wellness Inc. has delayed their annual filings and is subject to a cease trade order, although they assure that business operations are unaffected and the filings will be completed soon.
Canadian wellness company, Numinus Wellness Inc., recently shared a bi-weekly update regarding their annual filings. Due to unforeseen delays, the company's audited annual financial statements for the fiscal year ending August 31, 2021, were not filed within the prescribed timeframe. However, Numinus reassures stakeholders that efforts are being made to expedite the process, and it's expected the filings will be completed by March 14, 2022.
As a result of the delay, Numinus is subject to a cease trade order (CTO) issued by the British Columbia Securities Commission. This CTO will be lifted once the company has filed the necessary documents and met all the conditions. Despite this, Numinus confirms that business operations are ongoing, and the delay in filing does not affect the company's operation and its ability to serve customers. In fact, the company’s business operations, including the cultivation, extraction, and formulation of psilocybe mushrooms, are unaffected by the order.
Also, Numinus has been granted a Management Cease Trade Order (MCTO) by the British Columbia Securities Commission. This MCTO prohibits the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer from trading in the company's securities until all annual financial statements are filed, and the MCTO is revoked. However, this MCTO does not affect the ability of shareholders who are not insiders to trade their securities.
Numinus is a mental health and wellness company that is pioneering the development of innovative treatments and therapies including psychedelic-assisted therapies. The company cultivates and extracts psilocybe mushrooms for these therapies and is committed to uncovering solutions to health issues that traditional treatments have been unable to address.
