(TheNewswire)

Calgary, AB - TheNewswire - March 30, 2023 - Voyageur Pharmaceuticals Ltd. (TSX.V:VM) (USA:VYYRF) (the "Company" or "Voyageur") announces that it has filed its annual audited financial statements and management's discussion and analysis for the year ended November 30, 2022 on SEDAR.

The Company also announces that, due to a shortfall in spending on the Frances Creek project, because of closures to the site over the past three years, it is liable for and has accrued a liability to the subscribers that participated in the private placements of flow-through share units that closed on December 31, 2020 and May 5, 2021. The site was closed due to covid in 2021, forest fires closed the area in 2022 and the Frances Creek forestry road was washed out in 2022-23 and has not been repaired by the Province of British Columbia. The accrual is based on the indemnification clause in the flow-through subscription agreement requiring the Company to reimburse shareholders for their tax liability resulting from the spending shortfall. The accrual amount was calculated on the highest marginal tax rate in Alberta (48%) applied to the total spending shortfall of $347,152 amounting to $166,633 liability to the Company. The Company is also liable for, and has accrued, interest and penalties to the Canada Revenue Agency which amount to approximately $56,154.
