NEW YORK (March 30, 2016) -- MFC Bancorp Ltd. (“MFC” or the “Company”) (NYSE: MFCB) announced today that as a result of a customer of the Company filing for insolvency in February 2016, which is an adjusting subsequent event under IFRS, the Company is currently evaluating its net exposure relating to such customer after giving effect to related security interests, risk mitigation security and other rights and remedies held by the Company, and, therefore, the Company has not filed its financial statements and accompanying management discussion and analysis (the “Annual Filings”) for the year ended December 31, 2015 today, being the date that such filings are due under applicable Canadian securities requirements.

The Company currently expects to file the Annual Filings, and its Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2015 on or before April 6, 2016 and will issue a news release announcing completion of such filings at such time.

Disclaimer for Forward-Looking Information

This news release contains statements which are, or may be deemed to be, “forward-looking statements” which are prospective in nature, including, without limitation, statements regarding the expected filing date of the Annual Filings. Forward-looking statements are not based on historical facts, but rather on current expectations and projections about future events, and are therefore subject to risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ materially from the future results expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Often, but not always, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking words such as “plans”, “expects” or “does not expect”, “is expected”, “scheduled”, “estimates”, “forecasts”, “projects”, “intends”, “anticipates” or “does not anticipate”, or “believes”, or variations of such words and phrases or statements that certain actions, events or results “may”, “could”, “should”, “would”, “might” or “will” be taken, occur or be achieved. Such statements are qualified in their entirety by the inherent risks and uncertainties surrounding future expectations. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause our actual results, revenues, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause our actual results, revenues, performance or achievements to differ materially from our expectations include, among other things, the timing of, and completion, of necessary accounting and audit procedures to complete the Annual Filings and other factors beyond our control. Such forward-looking statements should therefore be construed in light of such factors. Other than in accordance with its legal or regulatory obligations, the Company is not under any obligation and the Company expressly disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Additional information about these and other assumptions, risks and uncertainties are set out in our Annual Report on Form 20-F filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and our Management’s Discussion and Analysis for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, filed with the Canadian securities regulators.
