Item 7.01  Regulation FD Disclosure.

 

On December 14, 2021, Village Farms International, Inc. (the “Company” or “Village Farms”) issued a press release announcing that it has applied and received approval for a voluntary delisting of its common shares from the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”). Effective at the close of markets on December 31, 2021, Village Farms’ common shares will no longer be listed or traded on the TSX. A copy of the press release is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

The information contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K under Item 7.01, including the attached Exhibit 99.1, is being furnished pursuant to Item 7.01 of Form 8-K and shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section. The information contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K under Item 7.01, shall not be incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the Exchange Act, whether made before or after the date hereof, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.

 

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information

 

This Current Report on Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act, and is subject to the safe harbor created by those sections. This Current Report on Form 8-K also contains "forward-looking information" within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities laws. We refer to such forward-looking statements and forward-looking information collectively as "forward-looking statements". Forward-looking statements include statements regarding the Company's delisting from the TSX and anticipated benefits therefrom, and may also relate to the Company's future outlook or financial position and anticipated events or results, business strategy, budgets, expansion plans, litigation, projected production, projected costs, capital expenditures, financial results, taxes, plans and objectives of or involving the Company. Particularly, statements regarding future results, performance, achievements, prospects or opportunities for the Company are forward-looking statements. In some cases, forward-looking information can be identified by such terms as "outlook", "may", "might", "will", "could", "should", "would", "occur", "expect", "plan", "anticipate", "believe", "intend", "try", "estimate", "predict", "potential", "continue", "likely", "schedule", "objectives", or the negative or grammatical variation thereof or other similar expressions concerning matters that are not historical facts. The Company has based these forward-looking statements on factors and assumptions about future events and financial trends that it believes may affect its financial condition, results of operations, business strategy and financial needs. Although the forward-looking statements contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K are based upon assumptions that management believes are reasonable based on information currently available to management, there can be no assurance that actual results will be consistent with these forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements necessarily involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the Company's control, that may cause the Company's or the industry's actual results, performance, achievements, prospects and opportunities in future periods to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements in this Current Report on Form 8-K are subject to risks that may include, but are not limited to, the risk factors described in the press release furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and the other risk factors contained in the Company's filings with securities regulators, including the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K and most recently filed quarterly report on Form 10-Q.

 

When relying on forward-looking statements to make decisions, the Company cautions readers not to place undue reliance on these statements, as forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties and should not be read as guarantees of future results, performance, achievements, prospects and opportunities. The forward-looking statements made in this Current Report on Form 8-K relate only to events or information as of the date on which the statements are made in this Current Report on Form 8-K. Except as required by law, the Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, after the date on which the statements are made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
