Stingray Indicates Delay in Filing of Its Audited Financial Statements and Applies for Voluntary Management Cease Trade Order

Article content

MONTREAL, June 22, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Stingray Group Inc. (TSX: RAY) (“Stingray” or the “Corporation”) wishes to advise that there will be a delay in the filing of its audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2026, management’s discussion and analysis thereof and the CEO and CFO certificates associated therewith (collectively, the “Required Disclosure”), which are due to be filed on or before June 29, 2026 (the “Filing Deadline”) pursuant to applicable securities laws. This delay is due to the fact that Stingray’s auditor has not completed the required work to conclude the audit. Stingray understands that the unanticipated delay in completing the audit of its consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2026 is in large part due to the complexity of integrating the acquisitions completed in said financial year (including that of TuneIn Holdings, Inc.).

Stingray has applied for a voluntary Management Cease Trade Order under National Policy 12-203 (the “Policy”) pending the filing of the Required Disclosure via SEDAR+. Stingray is confident that the Required Disclosure will be filed as soon as it is available, which is expected to be no later than August 29, 2026. The Management Cease Trade Order is expected to be imposed against its Chief Executive Officer, its Chief Financial Officer, and potentially certain members of its Board of Directors, instead of a cease trade order being imposed against all securities of Stingray. Such an order will not generally affect the ability of other persons to trade the securities of Stingray pending the filing of the Required Disclosure via SEDAR+.
