(TSX:HLO; OTC.BB:HLOSF; FSE:HRL) announced its intention to file a Form 15F today with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") to voluntarily terminate its reporting obligations under the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"). The Company expects the termination to take effect no later than ninety days after the filing the Form 15F. As a result of the filing of the Form 15F, the Company will immediately cease to file certain reports, including Form 20-F and Form 6-K, with the SEC. The Company's Board of Directors authorized this action based on its assessment that (a) continued compliance with the rules of the SEC in particular Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, would be expensive and burdensome considering the limited benefits it might realize and (b) investors in the shares of the Company are accorded protection by the Company's continued compliance with the rules of the TSXV, on which it will maintain its listing, and the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia). The Company will continue to make publicly available information otherwise provided to its shareholders by posting such information on the investor relations portion of its website at www.halores.com.
