Default Announcement

ARNPRIOR, ON / ACCESSWIRE / July 27, 2022 / Plaintree Systems Inc. (CSE:NPT) ("Plaintree" or the "Company").

Plaintree Systems Inc. ("Plaintree" or "Company") announces that it will not be able to file its annual financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2022, and accompanying Management's Discussion and Analysis and related CEO and CFO Certifications of Annual Filings, within the period prescribed for the filing of such documents under Parts 4 and 5 of National Instrument 51-102 respecting Continuous Disclosure Obligations and pursuant to Regulation 52-109 respecting Certification of Disclosure in Issuers' Annual Filings, namely, within 120 days of year-end, being July 29, 2022 (the annual financial statements referred to above shall be referred to as the "Financial Statements").

The Company is currently not able to timely file its Financial Statements primarily because of its inability to complete its audit due to limited staff resources as a result of increased workload experienced in Q4 and subsequent to year end primarily due to the Company's acquisition of the Elmira Stove Works which closed on March 30, 2022 and related post-closing corporate reorganization and business relocation work. The increased workload due to the acquisition has now subsided and the Company has the necessary resources to complete and file its Financial Statements as soon as possible,

The Company's Board of Directors and its management will be working expeditiously with the Company's auditors to meet the Company's obligations relating to the filing of the Financial Statements. The Company expects to file the Financial Statements on or before August 5, 2022.

As a result of the postponement in the filing of its Financial Statements, the Company has made an application to the Ontario Securities Commission (the "OSC") for a management cease trade order (the "MCTO"), which would restrict all trading in securities of the Company, whether direct or indirect, by the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Company. The MCTO would not affect the ability of shareholders who are not insiders of the Company to trade their securities. There is no certainty that the MCTO will be granted. If the MCTO is not issued by the OSC, the applicable Canadian securities regulatory authorities could issue a general cease trade order against the Company for failure to file the Financial Statements within the prescribed time as early as July 29, 2022.

The Company confirms that it intends to satisfy the provisions of the alternative information guidelines found at sections 9 and 10 of Policy Statement 12-203 respecting Management Cease Trade Orders, for so long as it remains in default because of the late filing of the Financial Statements. During the period of default, Plaintree will issue bi-weekly default status reports in the form of further press releases, which will also be filed on SEDAR. The Company confirms that there are no insolvency proceedings against it as of the date of this press release.

The Company has not taken any steps towards any insolvency proceeding and the Company has no other material information concerning the affairs of the Company that has not been generally disclosed as of the date of this press release.
