Mace® Security International, Inc. Annual Report Update
CLEVELAND, Ohio, May 1, 2023 – Mace® Security International, Inc. (OTCQX: MACE), As previously announced, the filing of the December 31, 2022 Audited Financial Statements and Notes and 2022 OTCQX Annual Report of Mace Security International has been delayed because the Company requires additional time to prepare and have its financial statements audited. The Company anticipates filing these two reports by May 15, 2023. In the meantime, beginning May 2, 2023, it is expected that the trading of the Company’s Common Stock will move from the OTCQX Marketplace to the OTC Pink Marketplace until such filings are made. The Common Stock is expected to continue trading on the OTCQX until it begins trading on the OTC Pink Marketplace operated by OTC Markets Group Inc. under ticker symbol “MACE” upon the opening of trading on May 2, 2023. This move should not disrupt the trading of the Common Stock at this time. However, the below Cautionary Statement should be noted. Also, Mace has been advised by the OTC Markets Group that, if the Annual Report is not posted and reviewed by the end of May 15, 2023, then the Company’s Common Stock will no longer be eligible for quotations on the OTC markets.
Cautionary Statement
The Company can provide no assurance that its Common Stock will commence or continue to trade on the OTC Pink Market, whether broker-dealers will continue to provide public quotes of the Company’s Common Stock on the OTC Pink Market, whether the trading volume of the Company’s Common Stock will be sufficient to provide for an efficient trading market or whether quotes for the Company’s Common Stock will continue on the OTC Pink Market in the future.
