Rockwell applies for delisting from TSX and concurrent listing on NEX
August 21, 2017, Toronto, ON -- Rockwell Diamonds Inc. ("Rockwell" or the "Company") (TSX: RDI;
JSE: RDI) announces that its board of directors have, after engaging with the Toronto Stock Exchange,
decided to delist from the TSX and list with the NEX (a separate board of the TSX Venture Exchange)
given the status of its South African subsidiaries which are under business rescue.
The Company expects this concurrent delisting and relisting to take place on or about August 31, 2017.
As disclosed previously, the Company had decided in April to seek to delist from the TSX in view of its
current market capitalization, and to initiate the application process for listing on the TSXV, however,
considering the current status of its South Africa subsidiaries the decision has been made to list on the
NEX. The NEX is a separate board of TSX Venture Exchange. It provides a trading forum for listed
companies that have fallen below TSX and TSX Venture's ongoing listing standards, or are companies
that have low levels of business activity or have ceased to carry on active business.
Trading of RDI shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange and Johannesburg Stock Exchange was halted,
pending the outcome of the hearing on the merits of the liquidation application against the Company’s
three subsidiaries, which has now been postponed to November 3, 2017 in view of the business rescue
proceedings. The Company however, remains in full compliance with its securities regulatory
requirements.
The business rescue practitioners continue to work towards delivering a business rescue plan on or
before September 30, 2017.
