CARPATHIAN GOLD INC. PROVIDES SECOND DEFAULT STATUS REPORT
Carpathian Gold Inc. is providing this second biweekly default status report in accordance with National Policy 12-203 -- Cease Trade Orders for Continuous Disclosure Defaults (NP 12-203). On March 14, 2014, the Corporation announced (the "Default Announcement") that, for the reasons set out in the Default Announcement, the filing of the Corporation's audited annual financial statements, related management's discussion and analysis and accompanying CEO and CFO certifications for the financial year ended December 31, 2013 (collectively, the "Required Filings") would not be completed by the prescribed period for the filing of such documents under Parts 4 and 5 of National Instrument 51-102 respecting Continuous Disclosure Obligations and pursuant to National Instrument 52-109 respecting Certification of Disclosure in Issuer's Annual and Interim Filings, namely within 90 days of the year-end, being March 31, 2014.
As a result of this delay in the filing of the Required Filings, the Ontario Securities Commission (the "OSC") issued a management cease trade order (the "MCTO") on April 16, 2014 against the Corporation's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as opposed to a general cease trade order against the Corporation. The MCTO prohibits all trading in securities of the Corporation, whether directly or indirectly, by the Corporation's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer until two full business days following receipt by the OSC of the Required Filings. The MCTO does not affect the ability of shareholders who are not insiders of the Corporation to trade their securities. However, the applicable Canadian securities regulatory authorities could determine, in their discretion, that it would be appropriate to issue a general cease trade order against the Corporation affecting all of the securities of the Corporation.
Carpathian's Board of Directors and management confirm that they are working expeditiously to meet the Corporation's obligations relating to the filing of the Required Filings no later than May 30, 2014.
Pursuant to the provisions of the alternative information guidelines specified in Section 4.4 of NP 12-203, the Corporation reports that since the Default Announcement:
Until the Required Filings have been filed, the Corporation intends to continue to satisfy the provisions of the alternative information guidelines specified in Section 4.4 of NP 12-203 by issuing bi-weekly default status reports in the form of further press releases, which will also be filed on SEDAR. The Corporation would file, to the extent applicable, its next default status report on or about May 15, 2014.
Should Carpathian fail to file the Required Filings by May 30, 2014 or fail to provide bi-weekly status reports in accordance with NP 12-203, the OSC can impose a cease trade order on Carpathian, such that all trading in securities of the Corporation cease for such period as the OSC may deem appropriate.
