Japaul Gold reschedules Board meeting to June 1st

The Board of Japaul Gold and Ventures Plc has rescheduled its Board meeting originally scheduled to hold on the 30th of March to 1st of June, 2021

This is according to a recent disclosure by the company which reads: ‘’Please be informed that the Board Meeting earlier scheduled pursuant to the approval obtained from the Exchange to hold on the 30th March, 2021 to receive and consider the Audited Financial Statements of the company for the period ended December 31, 2020 has been rescheduled for the 1st June, 2021.’’

On the other hand, despite the shift in the date for the board meeting, the firm however did not adjust its close period. It maintained its earlier stance that the close period remains 27th of March, 2021.

Recall that Japaul Gold had earlier announced that it will hold a virtual board meeting on the 30th day of March, 2021 by 10:00am. The meeting which is scheduled to be held via zoom is expected to consider among other things, the audited financial statements of the firm for the period ended December 31, 2020.

The firm in April 2021 notified shareholders and other relevant stakeholders, of its inability to file its audited financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2020 as expected which was due for submission on the regulatory date of 31st of March, 2021. The firm attributed this delay to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic which slowed down the company’s operational bases and as a result of which key officers are indisposed.

It is pertinent to note that the firm is yet to release its FY 2020 results.  In this regard, the firm assured stakeholders that the audit exercise is still in process and that all measures will be taken to ensure that the result is filed in good time.
