SENSIO Technologies Inc. announces delay in filing of unaudited interim financial statements and corporate update

MONTREAL, Jan. 22, 2016 /CNW Telbec/ - SENSIO Technologies Inc. ("Sensio" or the "Company") (TSXV: SIO) announced today that it will not be in a position to file its unaudited interim financial statements for the three and six months ended November 30, 2015 and the related management's discussion and analysis and related Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer certificates by the January 29, 2016 statutory deadline. At this time it is uncertain as to when the Company will be able to finalize its financial statements and related disclosures. Generally, where an issuer is in default of filing its periodic disclosure documents in circumstances such as Sensio, the Canadian Securities Administrators will issue orders prohibiting trading in its securities effective from and after the statutory deadline (so-called cease trade orders).

As previously disclosed on December 23, 2015, faced with a liquidity crisis, Sensio filed a notice of intention to make a proposal under the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act (Canada) and obtained a stay of proceedings against it until January 22, 2016. On that day, Sensio also announced the sale to Wi-Lan Inc. and an affiliate of the patents and patent applications underlying the existing exclusive license agreement among the parties. The sale since closed in accordance with its terms, the related secured bridge loan was repaid in full and the stay of proceedings was extended until March 7, 2016.

While under protection, Sensio continues its efforts to pursue strategic alternatives, including pursuing the sale of its remaining assets. There can be no assurance that the strategic process will result in the consummation of any specific transaction or agreement or whether any such transaction or agreement will yield net proceeds sufficient to fully satisfy the claims of creditors of Sensio.
