Champignon Provides Update on Disclosure Review - Seite 2

The Company previously filed a Material Change Report on May 11, 2020, in connection with the acquisition of AltMed.  The Replacement Order will remain in effect until a revised Material Change Report is filed which contains the disclosure required for a restructuring transaction in accordance with National Instrument 51-102 – Continuous Disclosure Obligations.

Prior to finalization of a revised Material Change Report, the Company is required to finalize the accounting treatment for the acquisition of AltMed.  The Company has concluded, in discussions with its external auditor and accounting advisors, that the acquisition of AltMed should be treated as a reverse-takeover in accordance with IFRS 3 – Business Combinations.  As a result of this conclusion, AltMed is treated as the acquiror for accounting purposes and the Company is in the process of compiling the financial statements of AltMed for the six-month period ended June 30, 2020 to meet disclosure requirements.  Compilation of the statements is at an advanced stage, and the Company expects this work to be concluded shortly.

The Company remains committed to working with the Commission to assist in completion of the review and revocation of the Replacement Order in a timely fashion.  Compliance with its continuous disclosure obligations remains of paramount importance to the Company, and its board of directors, and the Company will continue to update shareholders as work with the Commission progresses.
