NorthStar Gaming Holdings Inc. (TSXV: BET) (OTCQB: NSBBF) announced that the Ontario Securities Commission has revoked the temporary management cease trade order (MCTO) on May 16, 2025. The MCTO, which was initially granted on May 8, 2025, has been lifted after the company successfully filed its annual audited financial statements, management's discussion and analysis, and related certifications for the year ended December 31, 2024. The company completed these Annual Filings on May 14, 2025. With the MCTO revocation, management can now resume trading the company's securities.
NorthStar Gaming Holdings (TSXV: BET) (OTCQB: NSBBF) has received a management cease trade order (MCTO) from the Ontario Securities Commission on May 8, 2025. The MCTO was requested due to a delay in filing their annual financial statements for 2024, which were due on April 30, 2025.
The delay stems from the need to restate certain financial amounts from 2023, specifically related to payment service provider fees and player loyalty bonuses. The company discovered that its payment processor had deducted additional merchant fees from daily remittances that weren't properly accounted for, leading to understated service provider fees and overstated accounts receivable.
NorthStar expects to file the required documents by May 15, 2025. The MCTO restricts only the CEO and CFO from trading company securities, while other shareholders can continue trading normally.
