BioVaxys Announces Application for Management Cease Trade Order
![]() | |||||||||
Vancouver, BC – TheNewswire - March 3rd, 2026 – BioVaxys Technology Corp. (CSE: BIOV) (FSE: 5LB) (OTCQB: BVAXF) (“BioVaxys” or the “Company”) announces that it was unable to file its annual financial statements, management’s discussion and analysis and the required certifications for the year ended October 31, 2025 (the “Annual Filings”) on or before the prescribed filing deadline of February 28, 2026 (the “Annual Filing Deadline”).
The Company and the auditor have been diligently working to complete the Annual Filings, however, the Company was not able to make the required filings by the Annual Filing Deadline. The primary contributing factor to the delay was a late start to the audit as a result of the Company making changes to its accounting systems and processes. The Company believes that the audit will be completed by April 28, 2026, with the annual filings to be completed as soon as possible thereafter.
As a result, the Company filed an application to the British Columbia Securities Commission to approve a temporary management cease trade order (“MCTO”) under National Policy 12-203 – Management Cease Trade Orders (“NP 12-203”). The MCTO was granted, effective March 3, 2026 prohibiting trading in securities of the Company by the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, James Passin, and Chief Financial Officer of the Company, Christopher Cherry.
The Company expects to file the Annual Filings by April 28, 2026. The MCTO will be in effect until the Annual Filings are filed. The Company confirms that it will comply with the alternative information guidelines required by NP 12-203 so long as the Annual Filings are outstanding. The guidelines, among other things, require the Company to issue bi-weekly default status reports, in the form of news releases, for so long as the Annual Filings have not been filed.

Through a differentiated mechanism of action, the DPX™ platform delivers instruction to the immune system to generate a specific, robust, and persistent immune response. The Company's clinical stage pipeline includes maveropepimut-S (MVP-S), based on the DPX™ platform, in phase IIB clinical development for advanced Relapsed-Refractory Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma (DLBCL) and platinum resistant Ovarian Cancer. MVP-S delivers antigenic peptides from the survivin family, a set of well-recognized cancer antigens commonly overexpressed in advanced cancers, and also delivers an innate immune activator and a universal CD4 T cell helper peptide. MVP-S has been well tolerated and has demonstrated defined clinical benefit in multiple cancer indications as well as the activation of a targeted and sustained, survivin-specific anti-tumor immune response.
