ARCpoint shares suspended after BCSC issues failure-to-file cease trade order

The order follows ARCpoint’s missed July 29, 2026 deadline for annual filings and the regulator’s refusal to grant a management cease trade order.

Summary

ARCpoint Inc. said the British Columbia Securities Commission (BCSC) (British Columbia securities regulator) issued a failure-to-file cease trade order dated August 5, 2026 after the company missed the July 29, 2026 deadline to submit its audited annual financial statements, management’s discussion and analysis, and related CEO and CFO certificates for the year ended March 31, 2026. The order suspends trading in ARCpoint’s Class A Subordinate Voting Shares and bars trading in or acquiring the company’s securities while the order remains in force, though it includes a limited exemption for certain non-insider beneficial holders selling pre-order shares through a foreign organized regulated market and a Canadian-registered investment dealer. ARCpoint said the delay stems from a lack of funds to pay auditors and accounting personnel, and it is seeking the financial resources needed to complete the audit and filings. The company said day-to-day operations are continuing, but the order restricts its ability to issue securities and pursue equity or other securities-based financings unless it obtains a partial or full revocation.
