LONDON, ONTARIO -- (Marketwired) -- 05/12/15 -- Pearl River Holdings Limited (TSX VENTURE: PRH) ("Pearl River" or the "Corporation") announces that the Ontario Securities Commission (the "OSC") issued a temporary cease trade order against the Corporation effective May 8, 2015 for failing to file audited annual financial statements, management's discussion and analysis and annual certifications for the year ended December 31, 2014 (collectively, the "Required Filings") within the time period prescribed by securities regulation. In addition, as a result of the OSC cease trade order, the trading of the Corporation's common shares on the TSX Venture Exchange was also suspended on May 8, 2015. The Required Filings were delayed due to logistics in obtaining financial statements from the auditors of the Corporation's subsidiary.
The Required Filings were filed on SEDAR on May 8, 2015. The cease trade order will expire on May 22, 2015. Upon the lapse of the temporary OSC cease trade order, the trading of the Corporation's common shares will remain suspended until the Corporation has met the requirements of the TSX Venture Exchange for reinstatement of trading on the TSX Venture Exchange. The Corporation is in the process of making an application for the reinstatement of trading of the Corporation's common shares on the TSX Venture Exchange.
