The MCTO restricts all trading in securities of the Company, whether direct or indirect, by the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer of the Company until such time as the Q3 Filings have been filed by the Company.

However, the applicable Canadian securities regulatory authorities could in future determine, in their discretion, that it would be appropriate to issue a general cease trade order against the Company affecting all of the securities of the Company. A copy of the MCTO will be posted to the Company’s website.

Until the MCTO is lifted, Stans will comply with the alternative information guidelines set out in National Policy 12-203 – Cease Trade Orders for Continuous Disclosure Defaults for issuers who have failed to comply with a specified continuous disclosure requirement within the times prescribed by applicable securities laws. The guidelines, among other things, require the Company to issue bi-weekly default status reports by way of a news release.
