Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - May 1, 2024) - Carbon Done Right Developments Inc. (TSXV: KLX) (FSE: Q1C0) (the "Company" or "Carbon Done Right"), a company that carries on the business of developing validated and verified carbon credits from afforestation and reforestation of degraded land areas and marine ecosystems, announces that it has not met the filing date for filing of the following continuous disclosure documents (collectively, the "Documents"):
the Company's Annual Audited Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2023, as required by section 4.2 of National Instrument 51-102 - Continuous Disclosure Obligations ("NI 51-102");
the Company's Management Discussion & Analysis for the year ended December 31, 2023, as required by section 5.1(2) of NI 51-102; and
certificates of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Company relating to such audited annual financial statements as required by National Instrument 52-109 - Certification of Disclosure in Issuers' Annual and Interim Filings.
The Company's filing of the Documents has been delayed as both management and the Company's external auditors agreed that additional information and analysis is necessary in order to complete the preparation and audit of the Company's annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023. The additional information and analysis relates to determination of the fair value related to our carbon credit streaming agreements. The Company expects to file the Documents by May 31, 2024.
Accordingly, the Company has applied to the British Columbia Securities Commission for a Management Cease Trade Order ("MCTO") that will prohibit the management of the Company from trading in the securities of the Company until such time as the Documents are filed. There is no guarantee that a MCTO will be granted. If the MCTO is granted, the MCTO will prohibit the chief executive officer, the chief financial officer, and possibly the directors, other officers and other insiders of the Company from trading in securities of the Company for so long as the Documents are not filed. The issuance of such cease trade order does not generally affect the ability of persons who are not directors, officers or other insiders of the Company to trade in the Company's securities.
No decision has yet been made by the British Columbia Securities Commission on this application. The British Columbia Securities Commission may grant the application and issue the Management Cease Trade Order or it may impose an issuer cease trade order if the Documents are not filed in a timely fashion.
During the period of default and until filing of the Documents, the Company intends to satisfy the provisions of the alternative information guidelines as required by National Policy 12-203 - Management Cease Trade Orders. Until the Company has filed the Documents, members of the Company's management and other insiders are subject to an insider trading black-out policy as per its internal Insider Trading Policy that is consistent with the principles in Section 9 of National Policy 11-207 - Failure-to-File Cease Trade Orders and Revocations in Multiple Jurisdictions.
About Carbon Done Right

Carbon Done Right draws on the experience of a senior executive team and board that provide access into key target jurisdictions through relationships in the mining and natural resources sectors, combined with decades of experience in carbon markets.
