TORONTO, May 18, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Global Atomic Corporation (“Global Atomic” or the “Company”), (TSX-V: GLO ) has filed a Business Acquisition Report on Sedar in connection with its acquisition of Global Atomic Fuels Corporation (“GAFC”) on December 22, 2017, pursuant to a review of the acquisition by the Ontario Securities Commission. This Business Acquisition Report was required to be filed on or before March 7, 2018. The Company had initially considered the transaction to be a reverse takeover for accounting purposes, in which case a report would not be required. On subsequent re-analysis, it was determined that the transaction was not a reverse takeover for accounting purposes and therefore this report is required to be filed. As part of the current filing, the Company has included the audited financial statements of GAFC for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, which were previously filed with the Management Information Circular dated September 1, 2017. Due to a collation error, the auditor’s report filed was not the report for the correct fiscal year. This error has been corrected with the current filing.
