BCSC Cease Trade Order Triggers ACL Trading Halt

The British Columbia Securities Commission issued a failure-to-file cease trade order against A.C.L. Construction Ltd. on October 5, 2026, and the TSX Venture Exchange subsequently suspended trading in the corporation's securities effective October 6, 2026. The company had previously disclosed the suspension on that same date. The cease trade order reflects the corporation's failure to file required annual financial statements, management's discussion and analysis, and chief executive officer and chief financial officer certificates within the prescribed regulatory deadlines.

Required Filings and ACL's Path to Reinstatement

ACL states it continues to work toward completing its outstanding required filings and anticipates it will be in a position to remedy the default on or before November 27, 2026. The release confirms that reinstatement to trading is not automatic. Once the required filings have been completed and the FFCTO has been revoked, the corporation intends to submit a formal written reinstatement application to the TSX Venture Exchange and must otherwise satisfy the Exchange's reinstatement requirements before trading can resume.

January 2027 Deadline and NEX Transfer Risk for ACL Shareholders

The TSX Venture Exchange has advised A.C.L. Construction that if it does not complete reinstatement to Tier 2 of the Exchange, or is unable to meet Tier 2 continued listing requirements, by January 5, 2027, the Exchange may transfer the corporation's securities to NEX without further notice. A transfer to NEX would represent a significant change in the corporation's listing status, and investors may be watching closely to see whether ACL meets the November 27, 2026 filing target with sufficient time to pursue reinstatement before that deadline.
