The delisting proceedings both north and south of the border follows the firm yesterday indicating that it would be filing for creditor protection as a result of its inability to pay its debts. The firm expects to default on “several material debtor agreements,” which lead to a filing under the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act of Canada.
Following the announcement yesterday, the TSX halted the trading of the equity, with a delisting review required to remain on the exchange. That review is slated to occur September 16. South of the border, the firm has received noticed from the NYSE that proceedings for delisting have begun, with Great Panther having just seven days to appeal the decision.
Great Panther is reportedly examining its options on the matter currently.
Outside of Canada, the firm meanwhile has also undertaken steps to reorganize in Brazil, where it operates under a subsidiary known as Mina Tucano Ltda. The subsidiary has filed for what is referred to as a judicial reorganization, which enables the company to attempt to restructure operations when undergoing financial distress.

The filing effectively enables protection from collection and enforcement actions.
