JHL Biotech's Application to Voluntarily Terminate Trading of Shares Approved by Taipei Exchange

HSINCHU, Taiwan and WUHAN, China, Feb. 3, 2018 /CNW/ -- JHL Biotech (TPEx: 6540) announced that the Taipei Exchange ("TPEx") granted approval on February 2 for the termination of trading of JHL's shares on the Emerging Stock Market of TPEx. JHL had submitted an application to voluntarily delist from TPEx. JHL's Board of Directors believes this is in the best interests of the company and its shareholders because it enables JHL to pursue planned expansion activities and to explore various fundraising strategies (including potentially listing on an overseas exchange).

TPEx granted approval via Approval Letter No.: 10700029171. JHL shares will cease to trade on the Emerging Stock Market of TPEx as of February 17, 2018. During the period from February 17, 2018 to April 7, 2018, JHL will purchase the shares eligible for sale at the price of NT$63 per share, pursuant to relevant laws.
