Fobi AI’s stock hasn’t traded on the TSXV since November 2024. On August 13, it starts again. The company used the same round of announcements to disclose a working capital deficiency, a board that doesn’t meet audit committee requirements, and a shareholder meeting that’s more than two years overdue.
Trading Resumes August 13 After a Nearly Two-Year Halt
Fobi AI Inc. (TSXV: FOBI) (Pink: FOBIF), a data and AI technology company built around real-time data, mobile-wallet engagement, and Web3-ready digital transformation tools, said on August 12 that the TSX Venture Exchange has issued a bulletin confirming trading in its shares resumes at market open on Thursday, August 13, according to the company’s release on GlobeNewswire. Fobi is marking the moment with a shareholder webcast at 9:15 a.m. Eastern the same morning, hosted alongside CEO Rob Anson.
How the Halt Started, and What It Took to Lift It
The shares hadn’t traded since the British Columbia Securities Commission issued a failure-to-file cease trade order on November 1, 2024, after Fobi missed its audited annual filings for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024. Every filing that came due during the nearly two years that followed piled up behind it: interim statements for six more quarters, a full annual filing for fiscal 2025, and the certifications that go with each one.
The BC Securities Commission fully revoked the order on July 10, 2026, once Fobi filed the entire backlog. The company also refiled its December 2025 interim statements that same day to fix an accounting error tied to professional fees and accounts payable. TSXV accepted the reinstatement on August 10, and the bulletin confirming Thursday’s restart followed two days later.
The Red Flags Disclosed Alongside the Return
The reinstatement announcement carried its own set of problems. Fobi’s board has three members, which doesn’t satisfy TSXV and securities law requirements on board and audit committee composition, and the company says it’s actively looking for more directors. Its last annual general meeting was held on June 6, 2024. It’s required to hold the next one by October 8, 2026.
Then there’s the balance sheet. As of March 31, 2026, Fobi reported a working capital deficiency of $4,630,223. A separate correction lowers that figure to $3,380,023: the company says it mistakenly booked $1,250,200 from a private placement as a liability instead of equity, an error it will formally correct in its audited financials for the year ending June 30, 2026. Fobi has put a new financial control and reporting plan in place to catch errors like this one before they reach the filings.
Fobi also disclosed that it no longer has a market maker. Two prior arrangements, with Independent Trading Group and DS Market Solutions, both ended before the cease trade order was even issued, in 2024 and early 2025 respectively.
What Fobi Actually Does
Fobi describes itself as a data and AI technology company serving retail, sports, healthcare, and other regulated industries, built around real-time data feeds and mobile-wallet engagement. None of that changed while the stock was halted. What changed is the size of the company’s disclosure backlog, now cleared all at once after nearly two years.
AGM Deadline, Board Compliance, and the First Trading Days to Watch
Fobi has until October 8 to hold the annual meeting it’s more than two years overdue on, and it still needs to fill out its board to meet audit committee rules. First trading days after a reinstatement like this one tend to be volatile on thin volume, and Fobi’s own 52-week range, four cents to twelve cents Canadian, was set before almost two years of unresolved news had any chance to move it.

Editorial Disclosure
This article is based on primary company disclosures: Fobi AI Inc.’s August 12, 2026, August 10, 2026, and July 10, 2026 releases, all distributed via GlobeNewswire. The security discussed is Fobi AI Inc. (TSXV: FOBI) (Pink: FOBIF). aktiego.com has not received any compensation from Fobi, its management, investor relations representatives, or any third party. No staff member or principal of aktiego.com holds a position in this security at the time of publication.
Fobi AI’s stock was halted from trading for approximately 21 months under a failure-to-file cease trade order before this reinstatement. The company has disclosed a working capital deficiency, non-compliance with board and audit committee composition requirements, and an overdue annual general meeting, all still unresolved as of publication. The $4,630,223 working capital deficiency figure and its $3,380,023 corrected figure are both company-reported, as is the accounting error underlying the correction. Fobi currently has no market-making arrangement in place. Trading volume and price movement in the days immediately following a reinstatement like this one can be unusually volatile, and the stock’s 52-week price range predates most of the disclosures in this article.
