About this update from Wayland Group Corp
[{"type":"text","content":"\nTORONTO, April 30, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Wayland Group Corp. (CSE:WAYL) (FRANKFURT: 75M) (OTCQB:MRRCF) (“Wayland” or the “Company”) announced today that it will be delayed in filing its audited annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018, the related management’s discussion and analysis and certificates of its CEO and CFO (collectively, the “Required Filings”) with Canadian securities regulators until after today’s filing deadline.  The additional time is required to permit the Company and its auditors, MNP LLP, to complete work and enquiries in connection with the audit of the Company’s 2018 financial statements. The Company and its advisors are working diligently to complete such work and enquiries and the Company intends to make the Required Filings as soon as possible.\n In connection with this delay, the Company expects that the Ontario Securities Commission (“OSC”) will be issuing a failure-to-file cease trade order (“FFCTO”) against the Company, rather than the management cease trade order (“MCTO”) originally sought by the Company.  Despite the exercise of reasonable diligence in the circumstances, the Company has been advised by the OSC that its application for an MCTO was ultimately not successful because it was made less than two weeks before the deadline for making the Required Filings and that the OSC was of the view that the Company’s circumstances did not constitute a “rare situation” for the exercise of the OSC’s discretion in this regard. When issued, the Company expects the FFCTO to affect trading in all securities of the Company by securityholders of the Company, to apply in each jurisdiction in Canada in which the Company is a reporting issuer and to remain in effect until such time as the Company has made the Required Filings. Once the Required Filings are made within 90 days of the date of the FFCTO, such filings will constitute the Company’s application to have the FFCTO revoked.    About Wayland Group Wayland is a vertically integrated cultivator and processor of cannabis.
