LONDON, Ontario, Dec. 12, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — PEARL RIVER HOLDINGS LIMITED (Pearl River) (TSXV: PRH) announced that, due to the ongoing Canada Post strike, it has decided to cancel the annual general and special shareholders meeting currently scheduled for January 31, 2025. Certain equity compensation matters will require disinterested shareholder approval and therefore Pearl River needs to ensure that it meets the delivery obligations under applicable securities legislation. Pearl River will set a new date for the shareholders meeting once the strike is over.
Pearl River also announced that its current auditor, Crowe MacKay LLP, has indicated that it will need to Žresign due to compliance with Canadian Public Accountability Board rules, which require the Žcurrent auditor’s engagement partner for an audit to be turned over every seven (7) years. ŽUnfortunately, Crowe MacKay LLP does not have any other partners with sufficient capacity Žto complete Pearl River’s audit, and therefore it is unable to comply with this requirement. Pearl River is currently in the process of engaging a new auditor, and will make a further Žannouncement once the new auditor has been appointed by the Pearl River Board of ŽDirectors. Ž
