Company Announcements

VANCOUVER, British Columbia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jul. 3, 2026-- Republic Technologies Inc. (CSE: DOCT) (FSE: 7FM0) (OTCQB: DOCKF) (“Republic” or the “Company”) announces that the British Columbia Securities Commission (the “Commission”) has issued a failure-to-file cease trade order (the “FFCTO”) against the Company effective June 30, 2026. The FFCTO was issued as a result of the Company's delayed filing of its audited annual financial statements and management discussion and analysis for the financial year ended December 31, 2025, and the applicable CEO and CFO certifications (collectively, the "Annual Filings").

As previously announced, the Commission had granted a management cease trade order (the “MCTO”) on May 1, 2026, under National Policy 12-203 – Management Cease Trade Orders, pending the filing of the Annual Filings. The FFCTO has been issued as a result of the Annual Filings remaining outstanding beyond the timeline set out in the MCTO.

The FFCTO was issued under National Policy 11-207 – Failure-to-File Cease Trade Orders and Revocations in Multiple Jurisdictions and prohibits all trading in, and all acquisitions of, securities of the Company, whether direct or indirect, by any person or company, subject to the exceptions set out in the FFCTO.

The Company’s management and the accounting teams continue to make progress in preparing the Annual Filings and the Company intends to complete and file the Annual Filings by July 31, 2026 and will subsequently apply to the Commission for a revocation of the FFCTO.

The FFCTO will remain in place until such time as the Annual Filings and all continuous disclosure requirements have been satisfied and the Company receives an order from the Commission revoking the FFCTO. The Company will make further announcements with respect to the status of the Annual Filings and the FFCTO as and when appropriate.

The Company also announces that Stevenson Ty has resigned as Chief Financial Officer. The Board of Directors thanks Mr. Ty for his contributions to the Company. The board of directors of the Company has appointed Daniel Liu, the Company's Chief Executive Officer, as interim Chief Financial Officer while the Company conducts a search for a permanent successor.
