Northstar Healthcare Announces Continued-Listing Review by TSX
TORONTO and HOUSTON, Aug. 19 /CNW/ - Northstar Healthcare Inc. ("Northstar" or the "Company") (TSX:NHC) announced today that it has been advised by the Toronto Stock Exchange that the Company will be subject to a review to confirm that Northstar meets the requirements for continued listing on the TSX. The TSX has scheduled a hearing on this matter for October 14, 2010, which is after the September 30, 2010 outside date provided for in the Private Placement Agreement with Canada Healthcare Acquisition Inc. (the "Subscriber").
Northstar understands that this review is a routine procedure when a listed issuer makes an application under section 604(e) of the TSX Company Manual. As disclosed yesterday, the TSX declined to approve Northstar's section 604(e) application for an exemption, on the basis of its serious financial hardship, from the requirement for shareholder approval in connection with the private placement to the Subscriber.
Northstar believes that it currently complies with applicable TSX continued-listing requirements and, if the private placement to Canada Healthcare Acquisition Inc. is completed, it expects to continue to comply with such requirements.
