Intellipharmaceutics Announces Its Expected Delay in Filing Annual Audited Financial Statements and Annual Information Form

TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / February 26, 2024 / Intellipharmaceutics International Inc. (OTCQB:IPCIF)(TSX:IPCI) ("Intellipharmaceutics" or the "Company"), a pharmaceutical company specializing in the research, development and manufacture of novel and generic controlled-release and targeted-release oral solid dosage drugs, announced today that its annual audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2023, related management's discussion and analysis and accompanying Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer certificates and annual information form for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2023 (collectively, the "Required Filings") due February 28, 2024 (the "Filing Deadline") will not be filed by the Filing Deadline.

The Company will be delayed in filing the Required Filings by the Filing Deadline as required under applicable Canadian securities laws. However, the Company is working very hard to facilitate the performance of the audit of the Company's financial statements in order to file the Required Filings as soon as they are available and within a reasonable period.

The Company expects that the Ontario Securities Commission (the "OSC") will, following the Company's failure to make the Required Filings by the Filing Deadline, issue a general "failure to file" cease trade order pursuant to Multilateral Instrument 11-103 - Failure to File Cease Trade Orders in Multiple Jurisdictions in respect of the securities of the Company (the "CTO").

The Company confirms that there are no insolvency proceedings against it and no material information relating to its affairs that has not been generally disclosed. The Company will continue to operate in the normal course of business, fulfilling its commercial contracts and obligations and intends to immediately apply for a revocation of the CTO as soon as the Required Filings are duly filed.
