Sunwah International Addresses Review under Remedial Review Process by TSX

TORONTO, April 20, 2015 /CNW/ - Sunwah International Limited, TSX: SWH (the "Company"), an Asian based financial services firm, announces that Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") has informed the Company that its common shares are under review regarding its ability to meet continued listing requirements.  The TSX review was anticipated as it follows the completion of a recent insider bid, which resulted in a reduction of the public distribution of the Company's securities.

In particular, TSX is reviewing the Company with respect to supporting adequate public distribution, pricing and trading activity of the Company's securities as well as its ability to maintain a minimum of 150 public security holders of a board lot.  The Company has been granted 120 days in which to regain compliance with the TSX listing requirements pursuant to the TSX's Remedial Review Process.

Perfect Dream Holdings Limited ("Perfect Dream"), a company jointly owned by Dr. Jonathan Koon Shum Choi and Mr. Michael Koon Ming Choi (the Company's Chairman and Executive Director respectively), completed an insider's offer in March 2015, resulting in Dr. Jonathan Choi and Michael Choi now beneficially owning, directly or indirectly, or exercising control or direction over, an aggregate of 85,221,734 Shares, representing approximately 91.5% of the issued and outstanding Shares.   

As previously stated, Dr. Choi and Mr. Choi are committed to taking reasonable commercial steps for the Company to maintain its listing on the TSX and to comply with the TSX's market value and public distribution requirements. The Company is now working with Perfect Dream and its shareholders to implement proactive remedial actions to comply with the TSX's listing requirements. The Company also intends to further address the considerable undervaluation of its shares relative to its NAV through enhanced marketing efforts and overall amplified investor relations program.
