HPL · Price

Executive Summary

  • Horizon Petroleum Ltd. has issued a status update regarding a temporary and voluntary Management Cease Trade Order (MCTO) issued by the Alberta Securities Commission (ASC) on January 8, 2026.
  • The MCTO prohibits the CEO and CFO from trading company securities until two business days after the filing of overdue annual audited financial statements and related disclosures for the year ended August 31, 2025.
  • The expected filing date for these overdue documents has been delayed from February 16, 2026, to March 2, 2026, due to audit completion timelines and the need to raise additional capital to fund the audit.

Key Details

  • Regulatory Action: The Alberta Securities Commission issued a temporary and voluntary management cease trade order under National Policy 12-203.
  • Reason for MCTO: Failure to file required documents by the December 29, 2025 deadline, including:
    • Annual audited financial statements for the year ended August 31, 2025.
    • Management’s discussion and analysis (MD&A) for the year ended August 31, 2025.
    • Certification of the annual filings for the year ended August 31, 2025.
  • Trading Restrictions: The MCTO restricts the CEO and CFO from trading or acquiring company securities. It does not restrict other shareholders or investors from trading.
  • Filing Timeline Update:
    • Original expected filing date: February 16, 2026.
    • New expected filing date: March 2, 2026.
  • Reason for Delay: The delay is attributed to the time required to complete the audit and the necessity to raise additional capital to complete the audit and file the outstanding financial statements.
  • Compliance Status: The company confirms no material changes to the information in the January 8, 2026 release, no failure to fulfill alternative information guidelines, and no other specified defaults under NP 12-203 since January 8, 2026.
  • Reporting Requirements: Horizon Petroleum must file biweekly default status reports via news releases during the period of the MCTO.

Notable Quotes
