CALGARY, Aug. 22, 2014 /CNW/ – Palliser Oil & Gas Corporation (“Palliser“) (TSXV:PXL) announces that the Investment Industry Regulatory Organization of Canada has halted trading of Palliser’s common shares.
The halt was initiated upon the request of the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSXV“) after the TSXV determination to treat the proposed amalgamation of Palliser with Maha Energy Inc. (the “Amalgamation“) as a “reverse takeover” as such term is defined in the TSXV Policies requiring additional filings and information dissemination by Palliser. The halt is expected to remain in place pending dissemination of additional information on the Amalgamation as well as receipt and review by TSXV of requisite documentation in accordance with section 3.4 of TSXV Policy 5.2. It is expected that the requisite additional information will be provided in Palliser’s news release together with Palliser’s Q2 results, planned to be disseminated after the close of business on Tuesday, August 26, 2014.
Palliser is not aware of any material developments with respect to the Amalgamation.
