TSXV Trading Symbol:  VPI

VANCOUVER, BC, June 25, 2020 /CNW/ - Vitality Products Inc. (TSXV: VPI) (the "Company" or "Vitality") announces that the British Columbia Securities Commission has adopted the BC Instrument 51-517 Temporary Exemption from Certain Corporate Finance Requirements (the "Blanket Exemption Order") for the purpose of providing certain filing and other relief to issuers in light of the challenges posted by the COVID-19 pandemic.  The Company is relying on the Blanket Exemption Order and will delay (i) the filing of its interim financial statements and related management discussion and analysis for the three months ended April 30, 2020 (collectively, the "Required Interim Filings"), and (ii) compliance with the delivery requirements of applicable securities laws relating to the Required Interim Filings.

The Company currently intends to make the Required Interim Filings by July 17, 2020.  The Company will be providing an updated news release on the status of filing its April 30, 2020 unaudited financial statements if the Required Interim Filings are not made by then.  The Company is adopting the Blanket Exemption Order due to required social distancing rules and challenges of home-based work by the Company and its Auditor to provide safety for all employees.  The Company looks forward to releasing its results.

Pursuant to the Blanket Exemption Order, the Company's management and other insiders will be subject to a trading black-out policy that reflects the principles in section 9 of National Policy 11-207 Failure-to-File Cease Trade Orders and Revocations in Multiple Jurisdictions until the Required Interim Filings are filed on SEDAR.

Other than as previously disclosed by the Company in news releases, including the information herein, there are no other material business developments since June 18, 2020, the date of the Company's most recent filing of its audited financial statements for its year ended January 31, 2020.
