Innovium Update
August 26 2011 - 9:56AM
Marketwired
On May 5, 2011, the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV") suspended
trading in the Innovium Media Properties Corp.'s ("Innovium" or the
"Company") (TSX VENTURE: IN)(FRANKFURT: IH7) securities as a result
of a Cease Trade Order ("CTO") issued by the Autorite des Marches
Financiers ("AMF"). In order to remedy that circumstance, Innovium
completed its audit of the December 31, 2010 financial statements
and on July 12, 2011 Innovium's Board of Directors approved them,
along with the Company's Management's Discussion and Analysis, upon
the recommendation of the Audit Committee.
At this time, these materials have been presented to the AMF for
their consideration (all of this part and parcel of the AMF's
continuous disclosure review program). Only after the AMF has
approved Innovium's disclosures will the Company be able to file
these materials.
The TSXV has already provided notice that Innovium has been
reclassified as a Tier 2 company. Innovium must remain in Tier 2
for a minimum of six months prior to the TSXV accepting application
for graduation to Tier 1. If Innovium does not meet the continued
Listing Requirements, the Company will be placed on notice of
transfer to NEX.
The TSXV has advised Innovium that "reinstatement to trading can
occur only when the CTO is revoked and the TSXV has concluded its
reinstatement review to ensure the Company has satisfactorily
complied with all TSXV requirements".
Since the Company's investment in New York-based Seed Media
Group ("Seed") does not generate dividends or payout interest to
its investors, for Innovium to maintain its viability as an ongoing
public entity it will need a going-forward business strategy and
the funds to achieve it. Innovium's Board has deliberated and has
agreed that the Company could follow one of two strategies, both of
which it has been pursuing:
1. Access a minimal amount of money to allow the Company to maintain its
viability as a public entity and to allow its minority position in Seed
to mature and achieve a more notable value; or
2. Access new capital to fund a new business model of pursuing new business
opportunities.
It is Innovium's intention to provide more updates as
circumstances allow.
Innovium regrets to inform its shareholders that David
Rittenhouse, a long time Director died. His obituary appeared in
the Montreal Gazette on Tuesday August 23, 2011. David's counsel
and calm demeanor will be sorely missed.
