Jourdan Resources Provides Default Status Report
Further to Jourdan’s Default Status Report on May 19, 2015, on May 12, 2015 (further to its application dated May 4, 2015), Jourdan was notified by the Ontario Securities Commission (the “OSC”) that a temporary Management Cease Trade Order (MCTO) was issued prohibiting all trading in and all acquisitions of the securities of the Reporting Issuer for a period of 15 days from the date of the temporary MCTO. The OSC further informed Jourdan that a hearing will be held under section 127 of the Securities Act (Ontario) (the Hearing) to consider whether an order should be made under paragraphs 2 and 2.1 of subsection 127(1) of the Securities Act (Ontario) (Permanent MCTO) that all trading in and all acquisitions of the securities of the Reporting Issuer, whether direct or indirect, shall cease until two business days following the receipt by the OSC of all filings the Reporting Issuer is required to make under Ontario securities laws, or further order of the Director.
On May 25, 2015, a hearing was held at which it was ordered that pursuant to paragraph 2 and paragraph 2.1 of subsection 127(1) of the Act that, effective immediately, all trading in and all acquisitions of the securities of the Reporting Issuer, whether direct or indirect, by the Respondents shall cease until two full business days following the receipt by the Commission of all filings the Reporting Issuer is required to make under Ontario securities law, or further order of the Director (the “Order”). It was further ordered under subsection 127(2) of the Act that, if the Reporting Issuer has a website, the Order shall be prominently posted on such website. The Order can be found at: http://jourdan.ca/pdf/OSC_Order-May_25_2015.pdf.
As stated in Jourdan’s May 19, 2015 Default Status Report press release, pursuant to National Policy 12-203, the outstanding filings must be filed by June 30, 2015 (i.e. within two months from the default date) to avoid the issuance of a general cease trade order against Jourdan at such time. The MCTO application action was taken by management of the company in order to allow the company to continue to trade for the benefit of its shareholders.
The Company continues to work on attempting to secure sufficient financing so that it may file its outstanding filings by the required date.
The Company confirms that there are no other material changes to the information contained in the default announcement, or any other material information concerning the affairs of the Company that has not been generally disclosed as of the date of this press release.
