Rapid Dose Granted Management Cease Trade Order

TORONTO, ONTARIO, June 29, 2021 – Rapid Dose Therapeutics Corp. (the “Company”) (CSE: DOSE) announces that, further to its news release dated June 18, 2021, the Company’s principal regulator, the Ontario Securities Commission (the “OSC”) granted a management cease trade order (the “MCTO”) on June 29, 2021, under National Policy 12-203 – Management Cease Trade Orders (“NP 12-203“). Pursuant to the MCTO, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer may not trade in securities of the Company until such time as the Company files its annual audited financial statements, annual management’s discussion and analysis and related certifications for the year ended February 28, 2021 (collectively, the “Annual Financial Documents“), and the Executive Director of the OSC revokes the MCTO. The MCTO does not affect the ability of other shareholders to trade their securities.

As previously announced, the delay in the completion of the Annual Financial Documents is due principally to delays resulting from the work associated with the audit of the Company’s amalgamation with 2544737 Ontario Limited, operating as Consolidated Craft Brands, announced by the Company on March 8, 2021, and delays resulting from COVID 19 operating protocols observed by the Company and its auditor. The Company is working on the steps required to complete the Annual Financial Documents and expects to be able to file the Annual Financial Documents by August 30, 2021. The Company will provide updates as further information relating to the Annual Financial Documents becomes available.

Bi-Weekly Status Report

The Company confirms that since the June 18, 2021 date of announcing the delay in completion of the Annual Financial Documents (the “Default Notice“): (i) there has been no material change to the information set out in the Default Notice that has not been generally disclosed; (ii) there has been no failure by the Company in fulfilling its stated intentions with respect to satisfying the provisions of the alternative information guidelines set out in NP 12-203; (iii) there has not been any other specified default by the Company under NP 12-203; and (iv) there is no other material information concerning the affairs of the Company that has not been generally disclosed.

Until the Annual Financial Documents have been filed, the Company intends to continue to satisfy the provisions of the alternative information guidelines specified in NP 12-203 by issuing bi-weekly default status reports in the form of further press releases for so long as the Company remains in default of the financial statement filing requirement. In the event that the Company does not file the Annual Financial Documents in a timely manner, the Canadian Securities Regulatory Authorities may impose an issuer cease trade order on the outstanding securities of the Company.
