Empower Clinics Granted MCTO

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / May 3, 2022 / Empower Clinics Inc. (CSE:CBDT) (FRA:8EC) (OTCQB:EPWCF) (the "Company" or "Empower") announces that its principal regulator, the British Columbia Securities Commission, has granted a management cease trade order (the "MCTO").

As previously announced on April 27, 2022, the Company applied for the MCTO due to an expected delay in the filing of the Company's audited annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021, the related management's discussion and analysis and certificates of its CEO and CFO (collectively, the "Required Filings") which were due on May 2, 2022.

The MCTO restricts the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer from all trading in securities of the Company until such time as the Required Filings have been filed by the Company and the MCTO has been lifted. The MCTO does not affect the ability of other shareholders of the Company to trade in securities of the Company.

The Company and its auditors continue to work diligently toward completing the Required Filings as soon as possible. The Company is not aware of any specific accounting or audit concerns at this time. The deadline for Empower to file its Required Filings is June 30, 2022.

Until the Required Filings are filed, the Company intends to comply with the provisions of the alternative information guidelines as set out in National Policy 12-203 Management Cease Trade Orders for as long as it remains in default, including the issuance of bi-weekly default status reports in the form of a news release.

This press release is available on the Empower Clinics Verified Forum on AGORACOM for shareholder discussion, questions and engagement with management https://agoracom.com/ir/EmpowerClinics
