'There are a reported 32 million migraine sufferers in the United States who are looking for an alternative to harsh chemicals for migraine prevention and treatment. ATI's proprietary flavonoid extract and nasal spray application quickly targets pain centers offering fast relief without side effects or risk of long-term damage,' commented Jim Viccars, co-founder and Vice President of ATI. 'With Canada and the United Kingdom reporting 16 million people with migraine issues, this product has global market opportunity,' added Mr. Viccars.
Update on Delay in Filing Annual Financial Statements
Aja also announces that it is getting closer to filing its annual audited financial statements for the financial year ending December 31, 2024, including the related management's discussion and analysis and certifications from the CEO and CFO (the 'Required Annual Filings'). On May 6, 2025, the Alberta Securities Commission issued a management cease trade order (the 'MCTO') because the Company was unable to file the Required Annual Filings in time to meet the April 30, 2025 filing deadline.
Aja previously announced that the delay in filing the Required Annual Filings was due to the auditors of the Company seeking guidance from the auditor's technical committee with respect to the characterization of the previously announced reverse takeover transaction, which closed on September 17, 2024 (the 'RTO'). After consulting with the auditor's technical committee, the auditors determined that the RTO will be characterized as a series of acquisitions for accounting purposes. In connection with the RTO, the auditors require a valuation of the purchase price allocation to complete the audited financial statements for the financial year ending December 31, 2024. The Company is in the process of retaining a valuator to complete the valuation. The Company expects to have a valuator engaged on or before June 2, 2025 and anticipates the valuation will be completed on or before July 4, 2025. The Company expects to file the Required Annual Filings on or before July 31, 2025.
While the MCTO restricts all trading in securities of the Company by executive officers of the Company until the MCTO is no longer in effect, regular trading by current and future investors outside the Company continues as normal. The MCTO will be in effect until two full business days after the Required Annual Filings are filed.
Until the Required Annual Filings are filed, the Company intends to satisfy the provisions of the Alternative Information Guidelines set out in National Policy 12-203 -
Management Cease Trade Orders
.
Update on Filing of Interim Financial Statements
As a result of the delay in filing the Required Annual Filings, Aja also announces that it anticipates being unable to file its unaudited interim financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2025, the management's discussion and analysis for the same period and management certifications of the interim filings (the 'Interim Filings') by the filing deadline of May 30, 2025. Aja is working to complete the Interim Filings as soon as possible and expects the Interim Filings to be filed concurrently with the filing of the Required Annual Filings.

Another bank joins the lineup, telling employees it's time to get back to the office
Bank of Montreal is mandating that employees return to the office for four days a week starting Sept 15. This move mirrors other banks in Canada and the US that have ramped up RTO requirements. Citibank is going against the trend and recently doubled down on flexible work. Banks are demanding that employees get back to the office, and Bank of Montreal is the latest to join the list. The investment banking company told employees in a statement Thursday that they'll be expected to work on-site four days a week starting on September 15, "where existing real estate capacity permits," according to a statement to Business Insider. "Our workplaces have a powerful role to help us serve our clients and communities, while shaping our culture and organizational productivity," BMO spokesperson John Fenton told BI. The company, which currently has over 53,000 employees as of the end of January, added that it has invested in workplaces "designed to maximize team performance by promoting collaboration, problem solving, mentorship, innovation, and career development," such as the BMO Place in Toronto. Banks across Canada and the US have implemented RTO measures. Scotiabank recently announced a four-day in-office requirement beginning in September, citing the need for more collaboration, and the Royal Bank of Canada is also preparing to bring staff back in person at the same frequency. In the US, JPMorgan is implementing a hardline full five-day RTO mandate, which has received backlash from workers who are now looking to form a union and considering offers from competitors, BI's Reed Alexander previously reported.. Bank of New York Mellon said that starting September 2, employees are required to be in the office at least four days a week, transitioning away from the previous three-day-per-week hybrid model. Meanwhile, both Wells Fargo and Bank of America have required that client-facing staff be on-site at least four or five days a week, with other employees required to show up in the office at least three days a week. Morgan Stanley and US Bank have also implemented similar three-day in-office requirements. However, some banks are also taking the opposite approach to attract and retain talent. Citibank CEO Jane Fraser, 57, framed hybrid work as a competitive advantage and even shared how flexible work has enabled her to remain in the workforce as a mother juggling multiple positions. Earlier this month, Citibank also said in a memo that it's giving all hybrid employees who are required to be in the office three days a week two weeks of fully remote work in August, taking into account the need to spend time with families during summer.

Rocket Lab Completes Record Launch Turnaround From Launch Complex 1, Successfully Deploys 68 th Electron Mission
MAHIA, New Zealand--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Rocket Lab Corporation (Nasdaq: RKLB) ('Rocket Lab' or 'the Company'), a global leader in launch services and space systems, today successfully launched its 68th Electron rocket to deploy a single satellite to space for a confidential commercial customer. The mission was the second of two launches from the same launch site in less than 48 hours, a new launch record for the Company as it continues to deliver dedicated, repeatable and reliable access to space for satellite operators. The 'Symphony In The Stars' mission lifted-off from Rocket Lab Launch Complex 1 in Mahia, New Zealand on June 28 th (7:08 p.m./07:08 UTC) to deploy a single spacecraft to a 650km circular Earth orbit.

Rocket Lab has now completed four launches in June for commercial satellite constellation operators, underscoring Electron's consistent performance and rapid deployment capabilities as the world's leading small launcher: the 'Full Stream Ahead' mission on June 3 rd; 'The Mountain God Guards' mission on June 11 th; 'Get The Hawk Outta Here' launched on June 26 th UTC, and today's 'Symphony In The Stars' mission. Rocket Lab Founder and CEO, Sir Peter Beck, says: 'Electron has demonstrated once again that it is the gold standard for responsive and reliable space access for small satellites. The future of space is built on proven performance, and Electron continues to deliver against a stacked launch manifest this year. Congratulations to the team on achieving its fastest launch turnaround yet between two missions from Launch Complex 1. This launch was also a quick-turn mission to meet our customer's mission requirements, and we're looking forward to doing it again later this year.' 'Symphony In The Stars' was Rocket Lab's tenth Electron mission of 2025 and its 68th launch overall. With 100% mission success so far this year, Electron continues to deliver reliable deployment amid an increasing launch cadence and rapid contract-to-launch timelines.
