TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--XTM Inc. (“XTM” or the “Company”) (CSE:PAID / FSE:7XT) continues to work with its auditors to file its audited annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023, interim financial statements for the period ended June 30, 2024, as well as management’s discussion & analysis relating and related officer certifications for the relevant periods (collectively, the “Required Documents”). The Company intends to file the Required Documents as soon as possible and will provide updates as further information relating to the Required Documents becomes available.
The Company continues to focus on growth, profitability and an organizational structure to support its future. The Company is in-search for a permanent Chief Financial Officer with the qualifications, experience and network to support the Company’s scale. The Company has identified qualified candidates with the expectation that it will appoint a CFO immediately following the filing of the Required Documents and the revocation of the failure to file cease trade order (the “Cease Trade Order”) previously announced by the Company on July 3, 2024 and issued by the Ontario Securities Commission (the “OSC”) as the principal regulator of the Company due to the Company’s failure to file the Required Documents. Mr. Swapan Kakumanu, who previously acted as the Company’s fractional CFO, ceased to act on behalf of the company as of July 8, 2024 upon acceptance of his resignation.
Mr. Randy Khalaf resigned as a director of the Company effective June 20, 2024. The Company wishes to thank Mr. Khalaf for his extensive contribution, time and energy spent with the Company despite his extremely busy schedule and other undertakings. The Company wishes him all the best on his future endeavors. The Company has identified several new director candidates and expects to announce the appointment of one or more directors to fill the vacancy created by Mr. Khalaf’s resignation upon the revocation of the Cease Trade Order.
