Unilens Vision to Voluntarily Delist Common Stock From TSX Venture Exchange
(firmenpresse) - LARGO, FL -- (Marketwired) -- 09/27/13 -- Unilens Vision Inc. (OTCQB: UVIC) (TSX VENTURE: UVI), which develops, licenses, manufactures, distributes and markets specialty contact lenses, today announced that it has applied for and received approval from the TSX Venture Exchange (TSXV) to voluntarily delist the trading of its common stock on the TSXV. Unilens Vision common shares are currently traded, and will continue to be traded, in the United States on the OTCQB, its primary trading market, under the ticker symbol "UVIC". The Company has been advised by the TSXV that its common shares will be delisted as of market close on Monday, September 30, 2013.
Due to the low and declining trading volume on the TSXV as compared to the OTCQB, the relatively small percentage of Canadian shareholders on the Company's register, as well as inconsistent regulatory regimes between the two exchanges, the Unilens Board of Directors has concluded that it would be in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to delist Unilens common stock from the TSXV.
"The delisting from the TSXV is the culmination of a long-term strategy that began with the migration of the Company's domicile from Canada to the United States," said Michael J. Pecora, President and CEO of Unilens Vision Inc. "As all of the Company's operations and its primary trading market are located in the United States, the TSXV delisting action will allow us to concentrate on a single listing in the United States, while eliminating regulatory inconsistencies and reducing costs."
