The delisting was imposed due to Sino-Forest's failure to
meet the continued listing requirements of the TSX as a
result of the commencement of proceedings under the
Companies' Creditors Arrangement Act on March 30, 2012 (the
"CCAA Proceedings") and for failure to file on a timely basis
its interim financial statements for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2011 and its audited annual
financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2011.
Sino-Forest continues to be subject to a cease trade order of
the Ontario Securities Commission which prohibits trading in
the Company's securities.
All inquiries regarding the CCAA Proceedings should be
directed to the Monitor, FTI Consulting Canada Inc. via email
