Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - May 7, 2019) - Gravitas Financial Inc. (CSE: GFI) ("Gravitas" or the "Company") announces that a cease trade order has been issued against the Company by the Ontario Securities Commission because of the Company's failure to file annual financial statements for the financial year ended December 31, 2018, together with the related MD&A and officer certifications (the "2018 Annual Filings"). As a result, the Company's securities have been halted from trading on the Canadian Securities Exchange.
The late filing of the 2018 Annual Filings is due to delays in receiving the financial results of one its subsidiaries. Gravitas expects to receive the subsidiary's financial results today and to file its 2018 Annual Filings no later than May 17, 2019. Revocation of the cease trade order is expected to occur within a couple of days following the filing of the 2018 Annual Filings.
