VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Oct. 29, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Aja Health and Wellness Inc. (“Aja” or the “Company”) (TSXV:Aja) announces that it is getting closer to filing its annual audited financial statements for the financial year ending December 31, 2024, including the related management’s discussion and analysis and certifications from the CEO and CFO (the “Annual Filings“), the Company’s unaudited interim financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2025, the management’s discussion and analysis for the same period and management certifications of the interim filings (the “March Interims“), and the Company’s unaudited interim financial statements for the three months ended June 30, 2025, the management’s discussion and analysis for the same period and management certifications of the interim filings (the “June Interims” and together with the March Interims, the “Interim Filings“).
On August 1, 2025, the Alberta Securities Commission (the “ASC“) issued a Failure-to-File Cease Trade Order (the “FFCTO“) because the Company was unable to file the Annual Filings and March Interims in time to meet the April 30, 2025 and May 30, 2025 deadlines, respectively. Following the issuance of the FFCTO, the Company was unable to file the June Interims in time to meet the August 29, 2025 deadline.
Aja previously announced that the delay in filing the Annual Filings was due to the determination that the previously announced reverse takeover transaction, which closed on September 17, 2024, will be characterized as a series of acquisitions for accounting purposes. This characterization requires a valuation of the purchase price allocation to complete the audited financial statements for the financial year ending December 31, 2024. The valuator has completed the draft valuation and has received comments from the auditor on the draft valuation. The Company expects to receive a final version of the valuation on or before October 31, 2025. The auditors are continuing to work with the Company to complete the audited financial statements for the financial year ending December 31, 2024 as quickly as possible. The Company expects the Annual Filings to be filed on or before November 14, 2025.
Aja is working to complete the Interim Filings as soon as possible and expects the Interim Filings to be filed on or before November 28, 2025.
The Company anticipates that the FFCTO will remain in place until such time as the Annual Filings and the Interim Filings are filed and the ASC issues a revocation of the FFCTO.
