Sunwah International Addresses Listing Review and Comments on Undervalued Share Price

TORONTO, Jan. 13, 2014 /CNW/ - Sunwah International Limited, TSX: SWH (the "Company"), an Asian based financial services firm, announces that the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") has informed the Company that its common shares are under review in respect of its ability to meet continued listing requirements, in particular its ability to maintain the minimum value of public float requirement.  Sunwah International's shares are currently trading at a significant discount to its net asset value (NAV).

While the Company's lowered share price is in part due to a general lack of liquidity in current capital markets, Sunwah International intends to address the considerable undervaluation of its shares relative to its NAV through enhanced marketing efforts and an overall amplified investor relations program.

Sunwah International has been granted 120 days in which to regain compliance with the TSX listing requirements pursuant to the TSX's Remedial Review Process, which it is working towards through the implementation of proactive measures to increase liquidity and awareness of the fundamental strength of the Company.
