Toronto, Ontario, November 27, 2018 – GreenBank Capital Inc. (CSE: GBC and OTCMKTS: GRNBF and FRA; 2TL) (“GreenBank or the Company”) announces today that, as a result of the passing of Danny Wettreich, Greenbanks’ Founder, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, it will not be in a position to file its audited annual financial statements, the related management’s discussion and analysis and related CEO and CFO certificates before the required deadline of November 30, 2018 (the “Specified Requirements”).
As disclosed on September 18, 2018, Greenbank announced with great sadness that Mr. Wettreich died on September 15, 2018 due to unexpectedly severe complications from a recent heart attack. Greenbank also announced that Mr. Mark Wettreich had been elected as the Chairman of the Board and David Lonsdale would act as the interim CEO, supported by the remaining members of the board.
Greenbank has applied to the OSC, as principal regulator for the Company, for the imposition of a management cease trade order under National Policy 12-203 – Management Cease Trade Orders (“NP 12-203”) over the duration of the default. If a management cease trade order is issued, it will generally not affect the ability of persons who have not been directors, officers or insiders of Greenbank to trade in their securities.
Greenbank’s management intends to provide its auditor with the balance of requested documents on or before December 5, 2018 such that the default is remedied on or before December 15, 2018.
Greenbank confirms that it will satisfy the provisions of the alternative information guidelines under NP 12-203 by issuing bi-weekly default status reports in the form of news releases for so long as it remains in default of the Specified Requirements. Greenbank confirms that there is no other material information relating to its affairs that has not been generally disclosed.
