Horizon Receives Cease Trade Order Due To Delay In Filing Annual Financial Results

CALGARY, Alberta--()--Horizon Petroleum Ltd. (the “Company” or “Horizon”) (TSXV: HPL) announces today that the filings of its annual financial statements, the related management’s discussion and analysis and the certification of the annual filings for the year ended August 31, 2019 (collectively, the “Annual Financial Filings”) were not completed by the deadline of December 31, 2019. As a result, on January 6, 2020 the Alberta Securities Commission issued a cease trade order (the “CTO”) against the Company and securities have been halted from trading on the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSXV”).

If the Company files the Annual Financial Filings within 90 days of the date of the CTO, the filing of the Annual Financial Filings constitutes the application to revoke the CTO. Once the CTO is revoked, the Company will be subject to a reinstatement to trade review by the TSXV.
