NatureBank Asset Management Inc. (the 'Company') (TSXV: COO, Frankfurt: 9EA) wishes to provide an update as required under BC Instrument 51-515, whereby the BC Securities Commission ('BCSC') has granted temporary exemption from financial filing deadlines due to delays resulting from the Covid-19 pandemic.

On April 21, 2020, NatureBank announced that it will delay filing both its annual financial statements and management's discussion and analysis for the year ending December 31, 2019 (the 'Annual Documents') and its first quarter interim financial statements and management's discussion and analysis for the first quarter interim period ending March 31, 2020 (the 'Interim Documents'), relying on the exemptive relief granted under BC Instrument 51-515. Without granting the temporary exemption, filing of the Annual Documents (as required under National Instrument 51-102) would have be due on April 29, 2020, and the Interim Documents would be due on June 1, 2020. Section 2 of BC Instrument 51-515 mandates that all companies relying on the exemptive relief provided by the order must issue an update news release to shareholders within 30 days of filing its initial news release if the company has not yet filed the documents for which it was relying on the exemption. Section 3 of Instrument 51-515 stipulates that the release must provide '(a) an update of any material business developments since the date of the last news release required by this section, or (b) confirmation that there have been no material business developments since that date.' Accordingly, as the Company has not yet filed its Annual or Interim Documents, it is confirming that there have not been any material business developments since April 21, 2020, the date in which the Company issued its last news release. Additionally, as disclosed in the April 21, 2020 news release, the Company expects to file its Annual Documents on or before June 15, 2020 and, in the case of the Interim Documents, on or before July 16, 2020. Until such time as the Annual Documents and the Interim Documents are filed, the Company's management and other insiders are subject to a trading blackout that reflects the principles contained in Section 9 of National Policy 11-207 - Failure-To-File Cease Trade Orders and Revocations in Multiple Jurisdictions.
