VANCOUVER, BC, November 14, 2023, Fobi AI Inc. (FOBI:TSXV) (FOBIF:OTCQB) (the "Company" or "Fobi"), an industry leader in harnessing AI and data intelligence to enable digital transformation, today provides a bi-weekly status update further to the Company’s press release dated October 31, 2023 (“Announcement”).

The Company was granted a voluntary management cease trade order (“MCTO”) under National Policy 12-203 – Management Cease Trade Orders (“NP 12-203”). As previously announced, the application for the MCTO was made by the Company in order to secure additional time for the Company to file its audited annual financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2023, the related management’s discussion and analysis (the “Annual Filings”), which were due on October 30, 2023. The MCTO prohibits all trading in the capital of the Company, whether directly or indirectly, by the Company’s CEO and CFO. The MCTO does not affect the ability of other shareholders to trade in the securities of the Company. 

The Company and its auditors continue to work diligently toward completing the Annual Filings as soon as possible.  The Company maintains its expectation that it will be in a position to file the Annual Filings on or before November 30, 2023. 

The Company confirms that since the date of the Announcement: (i) other than as described above, there has been no material change to the information set out in the Announcement that has not been generally disclosed; (ii) there has been no failure by the Company in fulfilling its stated intentions with respect to satisfying the provisions of the alternative information guidelines set out in NP 12-203; (iii) there has not been any other specified default by the Company under NP 12-203; and (iv) there is no other material information concerning the affairs of the Company that has not been generally disclosed.

‍The Company will continue to satisfy the provisions of the alternative information guidelines under NP 12-203 by issuing bi-weekly default status reports in the form of news releases for so long as it remains in default of the above-noted filing requirements.

This press release is available on the Fobi website.
