Under National Instrument 51-102, the Required Annual Filings were required to be made no later than February 28, 2024.

As a result, the Company requested approval from the Ontario Securities Commission for an extension of the MCTO and such extension was granted by the OSC until May 13, 2024.

As previously disclosed, the auditor of the Company requires additional time to complete its audit of the Company, including the Company's recent acquisition of all intellectual property, immunotherapeutics platform Technology, and clinical stage assets of the former IMV Inc. that closed on February 16, 2024. The Company is working with its auditor in order to file the Required Annual Filings and with its accountants in order to file the Required Interim Filings, all of which is expected to be filed on or before May 13, 2024.

Except as herein disclosed, there are no material changes to the information contained in the Default Announcement. In addition, (i) the Company is satisfying and confirms that it intends to continue to satisfy the provisions of the alternative information guidelines under NP 12-203 and issue bi-weekly default status reports for so long as the delay in filing the Required Annual Filings and/or Required Interim Filings is continuing, each of which will be issued in the form of a press release; (ii) the Company does not have any information at this time regarding any anticipated specified default subsequent to the default in filing the Required Annual Filings and Required Interim Filings; (iii) the Company is not subject to any insolvency proceedings; and (iv) there is no material information concerning the affairs of the Company that has not been generally disclosed.
