Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - September 26, 2024) - Aion Therapeutic Inc. (CSE: AION) ("Aion Therapeutic" or the "Company") is providing this bi-weekly update on the status of its management cease trade order issued on August 29, 2024 (the "MCTO"), by its principal regulator, the British Columbia Securities Commission (the "BCSC"), under National Policy 12-203 Management Cease Trade Orders ("NP 12-203"). The Company announced on August 14, 2024 (the "Default Announcement"), that it expected to be unable to file its annual audited consolidated financial statements for the financial year ended April 30, 2024, the related annual management's discussion and analysis and the related CEO and CFO certifications (collectively, the "2024 Financial Disclosure") by the filing deadline of August 28, 2024 (the "Filing Deadline") and last provided an update on the status of the MCTO on September 12, 2024.

The Company confirms that there are no material changes to the information contained in the Default Announcement. In addition, (i) the Company is satisfying and confirms that it intends to continue to satisfy the provisions of the Alternative Information Guidelines set out in NP 12-203, including the issuance of bi-weekly default status reports in the form of news releases, for as long as the Company remains in default with its 2024 Financial Disclosure; (ii) the Company does not have any information at this time regarding any anticipated specified default subsequent to the default in filing the 2024 Financial Disclosure; (iii) the Company confirms as of the date of this news release, that there is no insolvency proceeding against it; and (iv) there is no other material information concerning the affairs of the Company that has not been generally disclosed.
