Boyuan Provides Disclosure Update
TORONTO, Oct. 16, 2015 /CNW/ - Boyuan Construction Group, Inc. (TSX: BOY, BOY.DB.A), a growing construction company in China of commercial, residential and municipal infrastructure projects, announced today that a management cease trade order ("MCTO") has been ordered by the Ontario Securities Commission ("OSC") following a hearing held on October 14, 2015.
The hearing was held by the OSC as a result of Boyuan's September 25, 2015 announcement that it would be late in filing its audited annual financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015 and related Management's Discussion & Analysis, Annual Information Form and CEO and CFO certification of filings (collectively, the "2015 Filings"), following the issuance by the OSC of a temporary management cease trade order on October 2, 2015.
The MCTO restricts all trading in and all acquisitions of the securities of the Company, whether direct or indirect, by the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer of the Company until two full business days following the receipt by the OSC of all Annual Filings. The MCTO will not affect the ability of persons who are not insiders of Boyuan to trade its securities.
The delay is due to issues raised by the OSC in their continuous disclosure review of the Company which may require the Company to restate the Company's annual financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2014 and subsequent interim periods and to revise its annual and interim MD&As for the same periods (collectively, the "2014 Filings"). The Company is reviewing its 2014 Filings with its current and former auditors and has advised the OSC that the Company will use its best efforts to restate and revise the 2014 Filings as soon as possible, and after which will make the 2015 Filings as soon as possible.
Boyuan intends to satisfy the provisions of the Alternative Information Guidelines as set out in National Policy 12 - 203 for as long as Boyuan remains in default, including the issuance of further by-weekly default status reports, each of which will be issued in the form of a press release. A general cease trade order may be issued if Boyuan fails to file such default status reports on a timely basis.
As long as a general cease trade order is not issued against the Company, the Company expects that the retraction of $5 million of the Company's 10% secured convertible debentures due October 31, 2018 will proceed as scheduled on October 31, 2015.
