Adastra Announces Intention to Terminate SEC Reporting Obligations

LANGLEY, BC / ACCESSWIRE / May 1, 2024 / Adastra Holdings Ltd. (CSE:XTRX)(FRA:D2EP) ("Adastra" or the "Company"), a leading cannabis processor and producer of two top Canadian concentrates brands, with a focus on product innovation and commercialization for adult-use and medical markets, today announces that it will voluntarily file a Form 15F with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") to terminate its SEC reporting obligations and the registration of its common shares under Section 12 (g) the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act").

Under SEC rules, a foreign private issuer such as the Company may deregister a class of its securities under the Exchange Act, and terminate the associated reporting obligations, if it meets certain conditions.

The Company has determined that the costs associated with continuing the registration of its common shares under the Exchange Act exceed the benefits received by the Company from maintaining its registration.

The filing of Form 15F will immediately suspend the Company's reporting obligations under the Exchange Act, and the deregistration will become effective 90 days from today.

The Company's common shares will continue to trade on the Canadian Securities Exchange and the Company will continue to comply with its Canadian continuous disclosure obligations by making filings with the applicable Canadian securities regulators. Such filings will continue to be available under the Company's profile on the System for Electronic Document Analysis and Retrieval (SEDAR+) at www.sedarplus.ca.
