Reconnaissance Provides Corporate Update
27 Septembre 2019 - 8:38PM
Reconnaissance Energy Africa Ltd. (the “
Company”)
(TSX-V: RECO) wishes to provide the following corporate updates:
Change of Auditor
The Company announces that its former auditor
Ernst & Young LLP (the “Former Auditor”) has
resigned, at the Former Auditor’s own initiative, effective
September 27, 2019. The board of directors of the Company (the
“Board”) has appointed Davidson & Company LLP
(the “Successor Auditor”), who previously served
as auditor to the Company prior to the reverse takeover transaction
with 1163631 B.C. Ltd. (“116”), to fill the
resulting vacancy in the interim and to complete an audit of the
stand alone annual financial statements of Lund Enterprises Corp.
(the “Prior Year Financials”) for the year ended
June 30, 2019 as required under National Instrument 51-102 -
Continuous Disclosure Obligations (“NI
51-102”).
The Board has appointed Davidson & Company
LLP as auditors to complete the audit of the Prior Year Financials
due to their familiarity with the Company and their ability to
complete the audit on a timely basis. Upon completing the
aforementioned audit, it is anticipated that the Company will
request the Successor Auditor to resign and will appoint Deloitte
LLP (Calgary) to act as auditor of the consolidated Company until
the next annual meeting of the Company’s shareholders.
The change of auditor notice and associated
material that is required to be filed pursuant to NI 51-102 in
connection with the resignation of the Former Auditor and the
appointment of the Successor Auditor will be filed on SEDAR under
the Company’s profile within the prescribed time period. No
“reportable event” has occurred during the period in which the
Former Auditor was the Company’s auditor.
Filing of Certain Financial
Statements
Further to the Company’s press release dated
September 10, 2019, the Company announces that it is delayed in
filing the following continuous disclosure filings (the
“Filings”) for each of 116 and Reconnaissance Oil
& Gas Corp. (“ROG”) by the filing deadline of
September 19, 2019: (i) audited annual financial statements for the
year ended December 31, 2018; (ii) interim financial statements for
the three months ended March 31, 2019; and (iii) interim financial
statements for the six months ended June 30, 2019. As a result of
the foregoing delays, the British Columbia Securities Commission
(the “Commission”) has placed the Company on its
“Issuers in Default” list until the Filings are completed.
On September 10, 2019, the Commission provided
the Company with an administrative extension until September 30,
2019 to complete and file the Filings. In the event the Filings are
not filed by 11:00 a.m. (Vancouver Time) on September 30, 2019, the
Commission has advised the Company that it will issue a
failure-to-file cease trade order. The Company is working
diligently with Deloitte LLP (Calgary), auditor to each of 116 and
ROG, to meet the revised September 30, 2019 filing deadline.
