Star Metro - Sparta Capital Announces Issuance of Cease Trade Order

TORONTO, ON / ACCESS Newswire / February 26, 2025 / Sparta Group (TSXV:SAY) (the "Corporation", the "Company", "Sparta Group", "Sparta Capital", "SAY.V" or "Sparta"), confirms that the Company is under a Failure to File Cease Trade Order (the "FFCTO") issued by the Alberta Securities Commission ("ASC") because the Company was unable to file its annual financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2024, including the related management's discussion and analysis ("MD&A") and certifications from the CEO and CFO (the "Annual Filings) in time to meet the January 29, 2025, filing deadline.

The FFCTO restricts all trading in securities of the Company and is in effect until the principal regulator receives notice that all filings the issuer was required to make have been filed. The Company expects to file the Annual Filings before Q-2 2025.

Sparta management have indicated that the delay in filing the Annual Filings is related to an overload of primary work for both Sparta and its auditors. The Company is working diligently with its audit team to complete the required work to finalize and file the Annual Filings, which will allow for the lifting of the FFCTO.

Until the Annual Filings are filed, the Company intends to satisfy the provisions of the Alternative Information Guidelines set out in National Policy 12-203 - Cease Trade Orders.
