As a result, the Company filed an application to the British Columbia Securities Commission to approve a temporary management cease trade order (“MCTO”) under National Policy 12-203 – Management Cease Trade Orders (“NP 12-203”). The MCTO was granted, effective May 1, 2026, prohibiting trading in securities of the Company by the CEO, Daniel Liu, CFO, Stevenson Ty and COO, Litong Cao. The issuance of a management cease trade order generally does not affect the ability of persons who have not been directors, officers or insiders of the Company to trade in the Company’s shares, and will not impact the operation of the Company.
