TORONTO, ON--(Marketwired - May 04, 2016) - Golden Leaf Holdings Ltd. ("GLH" or the "Company") (CSE: GLH) announces that it has been granted a management cease trade order against the Company's CEO and CFO ("MCTO") by its principal regulator, the Ontario Securities Commission. The MCTO prohibits trading in the Corporation's securities by the Company's CEO and CFO until the Company files the Required Filings and the MCTO is revoked, but will not affect the ability of Golden Leaf's shareholders to trade in the Company's securities.

As previously announced in the Company's press release dated April 27, 2016 (the "Prior Press Release"), the application for the MCTO was made by the Company in respect of the late filing of the Company's 2015 annual audited financial statements, its related management's discussion and analysis, CEO and CFO certifications, and Ontario Form 13-502F1 (collectively, the "Required Filings"), which were required to be filed on or before April 29, 2016. The Company and its auditor are in the process of completing the Required Filings and the associated audit work, which were delayed for the reasons discussed in the Prior Press Release. The Corporation anticipates that the Required Filings will be completed on or before May 30, 2016.

The Company confirms that it intends to satisfy the provisions of the alternative information guidelines described in section 4.3 and 4.4 of National Policy 12-203 -- Cease Trade Orders for Continuous Disclosure Defaults for so long as it remains in default of the requirement to file the Required Filings. The Company has not taken any steps towards any insolvency proceeding and the Company has no material information to release to the public. The Company has made the foregoing representations in accordance with the requirements of applicable securities laws.
