In the news release, Atna Provides Update on Corporate Status, issued 09-May-2016 by Atna Resources Ltd. over PR Newswire, we are advised by the company that they incorrectly reported that the British Columbia Securities Commission had, in addition to adding the Company to its Reporting Issuers in Default List, also imposed a management cease trade order prohibiting the Company's directors and officers from trading in securities of the Company. The Company now confirms that no such management ceased trade order has been applied for or issued. The complete, corrected release follows:
Atna Provides Update on Corporate Status
GOLDEN, Colo., May 9, 2016 /CNW/ -- Atna Resources Ltd. ("Atna" or the "Company") As reported in the Company's January 18, 2016 news release, as a consequence of the Company's financial circumstances, including its November 18, 2015 filing of a voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code, on December 29, 2015, the Toronto Stock Exchange (the "Exchange") delisted the Company's shares. As a further result of the Company's circumstances, the Company was unable to release its financial statements, management's discussion and analysis or its Form 20-F (Annual Information Form) for the year ended December 31, 2015, since that time the Company has failed to file its required annual continuous disclosure documents required by applicable securities laws, as of May 5, 2016, the British Columbia Securities Commission has added the Company to its Reporting Issuers in Default List. As the Company has no present expectation that it will ever be in a position to remedy its failure to make its annual continuous disclosure filings, the Company expects that the BC Securities Commission, together with the Commissions in the other Canadian jurisdictions where the Company is a reporting issuer, will proceed, within the next week, to issue a cease trade order prohibiting trading in the Company's shares generally.
Additional information regarding the Company's Chapter 11 restructuring, and ancillary proceedings in Canada pursuant to the Companies' Creditors Arrangement Act in the Supreme Court of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada, can be found at www.upshotservices.com/atna.
