Parlay Entertainment Inc. (TSX VENTURE:PEI.H) (the "Company"), is pleased to
announce that the cease trade order issued by each of the Ontario Securities
Commission ("OSC") and the British Columbia Securities Commission ("BCSC") in
May 2011 has been revoked. The Applicant's common shares are listed on the NEX
board of the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV") but the listing is presently
suspended as a consequence of the cease trade order. With the revocation of the
cease trade order, the Company will proceed to apply to have the trading
suspension lifted.
Revocation of Cease Trade Order
On May 5, 2011, the OSC issued a temporary cease trade order against the Company
as a result of the Company failing to file its audited consolidated financial
statements for the year ended December 31, 2010, along with certain other
required filings pursuant to the 2010 fiscal year end of the Company, within the
predetermined timetable. The temporary cease trade order was replaced by a
permanent cease trade order on May 17, 2011. A permanent cease trade order was
issued by the BCSC on May 10, 2011. The Company filed a permanent cease trade
order revocation application with the OSC and the BCSC on February 21, 2012, as
by that date the Company was current with all financial statement and other
filing requirements under applicable securities law. On July 6, 2012, the OSC
and the BCSC granted the permanent cease trade order revocation. As of the date
of this press release, the authorized share capital of the Company consists of
an unlimited number of common shares (the "Authorized Shares"). The Company
currently has 13,499,265 common shares issued and outstanding (the "Outstanding
Shares"). Other than the Outstanding Shares, the Company has no securities
issued or outstanding. Pursuant to the submission of the cease trade order
revocation application, on March 30, 2012, the Company filed on SEDAR
(www.sedar.com) a Material Change Report as a remedial continuous disclosure
filing to address executive compensation disclosures, audit committee
disclosures and corporate governance disclosures for the year ended December 31,
2010. With the grant of the permanent cease trade order revocation, the Company
has undertaken to hold an annual meeting of its shareholders within three months
of July 6, 2012 or by October 6, 2012.
The OSC has requested that the Company disclose the following information in
this press release pursuant to the grant of the permanent cease trade order
revocation.
The Company is inactive and is attempting to reactivate its business. As of the
date of this press release, the Company has no business plan nor has it the
resources to develop a business plan.
The Company's principal shareholder is Mirzai Holding ApS, Hesselhojvej 70, DK -
8600, Silkeborg, Denmark and Soren Rosenville Mirzai is a Director or senior
Officer of Mirzai Holding ApS. As of the date of this press release, Mirzai
Holding ApS holds approximately 10.2% of the Outstanding Shares.
As of the date of this press release, the Company does not have an audit
committee and the responsibilities of that committee have been assumed by the
board of directors. It is anticipated that the audit committee will be
reconstituted when the Company is able to appoint sufficient independent
directors to meet regulatory and TSXV listing requirements.
Corporate Transaction
The Company had previously announced, on May 6, 2011, that it had appointed BDO
Canada Limited ("BDO") to assist it in a restructuring and to act as its
Proposal Trustee. On September 2, 2011, the Company had announced that it, in
conjunction with BDO, had completed the sale of a majority of the Company's
assets. That announcement noted that the Company and BDO would proceed with a
liquidation proposal (the Proposal"), which in addition to other matters, would
consider opportunities for the public vehicle, which might take the form of an
outright sale, a reverse merger or wind-up.
On November 29, 2011, a letter of intent (the "Letter of Intent") was completed
with BDO and a third party (the "Party") which provided the basis for a Proposal
which was put to the creditors of the Company at a meeting held on January 19,
2012. The Proposal was approved by the creditors and it subsequently received
court approval on February 6, 2012. Following the court meeting on February 6,
2012, the Company was no longer deemed to be bankrupt.
The Proposal provides that the Party shall acquire, on closing, the aggregate
liabilities of the Company that are not discharged via the Proposal, in
consideration for $30,000 which shall be added to the assets of the Company
available to the pre-Proposal creditors of the Company.
There are conditions included in the Letter of Intent, including that the Party
has to be satisfied before closing, that the Company could have the cease trade
order revoked, and the Company can otherwise be brought back into good standing
with all required regulatory bodies. The Letter of Intent has been extended on a
number of occasions and presently requires that the transaction with the Party
be concluded by August 15, 2012.
If the transaction contemplated in the Letter of Intent is consummated, the
Party will acquire control of the Company and the Party may attempt to use the
Company as a vehicle to enter into a subsequent reverse takeover transaction, or
other type of corporate transaction, which would reactivate the Company's
business. The Company has provided an undertaking to the OSC that it will not
complete a transaction to reactivate its business outside Canada unless it
complies with applicable securities law with respect to filing a preliminary and
final prospectus for the proposed transaction and it receives the required
regulatory approvals.
Changes to the Board of Directors
Coincident with the revocation of the cease trade order, the following changes
were made to the board of directors. Mr. Scott F. White resigned as a director,
and as the Chief Executive Officer of the Company. Mr. Perry N. Malone resigned
as a director of the Company. Mr. Craig D. Schneider was appointed a director
and the Chief Executive Officer of the Company. Mr. Alan D. Vichert was
appointed a director of the Company. Mr. David Callander continues as a director
of the Company and as Chief Financial Officer of the Company. Biographical
details of the new directors are as follows:
Craig Schneider
President & CEO Corex Gold Corp.
Mr. Schneider joined Corex Gold Corp in November 2003, and has been instrumental
in advancing the company to its current stage of development. Mr. Schneider has
over 15 years experience in the administration and financing of junior

engaged in by the company are managed in the manner most likely to reduce risk
for shareholders.
When the audit committee of the Company is reconstituted, Messrs. Schneider and
Vichert will be appointed to the audit committee.
Whether, and when, the Company can successfully complete the Proposal process is
uncertain. Should the Proposal be completed and recognizing the prior sale of a
majority of the Company's assets, the Company will have disposed of
substantially all of its assets and it will have discharged substantially all of
its liabilities.
On completion of the Proposal, the new board of directors and management of the
Company will need to identify new business opportunities for the Company.
Depending of the new business opportunities identified and / or proposed,
regulatory and / or shareholder approval may be required. The funding
requirements to enable the Company to take advantage of any identified new
business opportunities will have to be determined and such funding will have to
be provided. The ability of the board of directors and management, to be put in
place, to identity such new business opportunities and access sufficient funding
to take advantage of any identified new business opportunities is uncertain at
this time.
The Company plans to undertake an equity financing to fund its short term
general working capital requirements. There can be no assurance that any
additional financing will be available to the Company or, if it is, that it will
be available on terms acceptable to the Company or that the amount of the
financing will be sufficient to fund the costs incurred until the Company
acquires an operating business or completes a transaction. The Company also may
effect a reorganization of its share capital by consolidating its shares subject
to shareholder and regulatory approval as required.
In anticipation of the reactivation of the Company, its registered head office,
the executive office and the mailing address of the Company has changed to 5096
South Service Road, Suite 102, Burlington, Ontario, L7L 5H4.
