DriveItAway Quarterly Reports and OTC Markets

DriveItAway acknowledges the delay in the filing of its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2022 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The delay has been the result of the complexity of the accounting for the acquisition and disposition of assets that took place during that fiscal quarter. The Company continues to work diligently to finalize and file the Form 10-Q with the SEC within the next couple weeks, and we anticipate on filing our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended June 20, 2022 shortly thereafter. Once these reports are filed with the SEC, the Company will apply for reinstatement to the OTCQB market.
