TVI Granted Management Cease Trade Order
TVI PACIFIC INC.
For Immediate Release
TVI GRANTED MANAGEMENT CEASE TRADE ORDER
CALGARY, Alberta – May 4, 2026 – TVI Pacific Inc. ("TVI" or the "Corporation") (TSX.V: TVI, OTC: TVIPF),
did not file its audited annual financial statements, management's discussion and analysis and related CEO
and CFO certifications for the financial year ended December 31, 2025 (the " Required Filings ") by the
filing deadline of April 30, 2026, and as a result is in default of its obligations under Part 4 of National
Instrument 51-102 Continuous Disclosure Obligations.
The default is due to the delay in the completion of the audit of the Corporations consolidated financial
statements for the year ended December 31, 2025. The delay is primarily attributable to the timing of the
completion of the audit of TVI Resource Development (Phils.), Inc. (“ TVIRD”), the Corporations material
joint venture investment, by its external auditor, PwC Philippines.
The audit of TVIRD has been aligned with the extended statutory filing deadline in the Philippines, which
was moved to May 15, 2026, pursuant to an executive order granted by the Philippine government and
related guidance issued by the Bureau of Internal Revenue. The completion of the Corporation’s audit is
dependent on the availability of TVIRD’s audited financial statements.
Upon completion of the TVIRD audit, the Corporation expects to receive the audited financial statements
and will provide them promptly to its auditor, which has indicated that approximately two weeks will be
required to complete the remaining audit procedures and finalize the audit opinion at the parent company
level.
The Corporation has implemented enhanced coordination and monitoring procedures to ensure timely
completion of all outstanding audit requirements.
As previously announced on April 17, 2026 (the " Announcement"), the Corporation applied to the Alberta
Securities Commission (the "ASC") for a management cease trade order (the "MCTO"), which would restrict
all trading in securities of the Corporation, whether direct or indirect, by the Chief Executive Officer and
Chief Financial Officer of the Corporation. The ASC issued the MCTO on May 4, 2026. The MCTO does
not generally affect the ability of shareholders who are not insiders of the Corporation to trade their
securities.
The Corporation and its auditor continue to work diligently toward completing the Required Filings and
expect to remedy the default by filing the Required Filings on or before June 1, 2026.
The Corporation confirms that since the date of the Announcement: (i) there has been no material change
to the information set out in the Announcement that has not been generally disclosed; (ii) the
Corporation is satisfying and confirms that it intends to continue to satisfy the provisions of the
"alternative information guidelines" under National Policy 12-203 Management Cease Trade Orders ("NP
12-203") and issue bi-weekly default status reports for so long as the delay in filing the Required Filings is
continuing, each of which will be issued in the form of a news release; (iii) there has not been any other
specified default by the Corporation under NP 12-203; (iv) the Corporation is not subject to any insolvency
proceedings; and (v) there is no material information concerning the affairs of the Corporation that
has not been generally disclosed.
