Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - March 15, 2022) - PeakBirch Commerce Inc. (CSE: PKB) (FSE: KYH) (OTCQB: PKBFD) ("PeakBirch" or the "Company") is providing an update to its previously announced management cease trade order (the "MCTO") granted by the British Columbia Securities Commission (the "BCSC") under National Policy 12-203 - Management Cease Trade Orders ("NP 12-203").

Pursuant to the MCTO, the Company's CEO and CFO may not trade in securities of the Company until such time as the Company files its annual audited financial statements, annual management's discussion and analysis and related certifications for the year ended October 31, 2021 (collectively, the "Issuer Statements"), and the BCSC revokes the MCTO.

The MCTO does not affect the ability of other shareholders to trade their securities.

The Company has not yet filed the Issuer Statements, however the Company is working diligently with its auditors and expects that the Issuer Statements will be filed as soon as possible. The Issuer Statements are being filed later than originally expected due to continuing delays with the consolidation of one of the Company's acquisitions with the Company's financial statements, as described in the Company's news release dated March 1, 2022 (the "Default Announcement").

The Company's finance and accounting teams are working diligently with its auditors and the Company expects to have the audit of the Issuer Statements completed, and the Issuer Statements filed, by April 15, 2022, and in any event no later than April 30, 2022. The Company will issue a news release once the Issuer Statements have been filed. Until the Company files the Issuer Statements, it will comply with the alternative information guidelines set out in NP 12-203 by issuing bi-weekly default status reports, in the form of news releases.

The Company confirms that since the date of the Default Announcement: (i) there has been no material change to the information set out in the Default Announcement that has not been generally disclosed; (ii) there have been no failures by the Company to fulfill its stated intentions with respect to satisfying the provisions of the alternative information reporting guidelines under NP 12-203; (iii) there has not been any other specified default by the Company under NP 12-203; ‎and (iv) there is no material information concerning the affairs of the Company that has not been generally ‎disclosed.
