Immunovaccine Clarifies May 12, 2014 Trading Activity


HALIFAX, NOVA SCOTIA--(Marketwired - May 12, 2014) -

NOT FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES OR THROUGH U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES

Immunovaccine Inc. ("Immunovaccine" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:IMV) announces that the Investment Industry Regulatory Organization of Canada ("IIROC"), the regulation services provider of the TSX Venture Exchange, has authorized the resumption of trading in Immunovaccine's shares at 3:45 p.m. on May 12, 2014 at a price of $0.65 per share. This follows the decision by IIROC to halt trading of Immunovaccine shares at 2:46 p.m. based on perceived irregularities in trading activity. This decision was made in accordance with IIROC's Universal Market Integrity Rules (UMIR) which are designed to ensure fairness and maintain investor confidence.

After looking into the matter, IIROC determined that unintended and unreasonable trades were made as a result of a key error ("fat finger" error). This error caused a rapid and unintended decrease in the price of Immunovaccine stock. Following its investigation, IIROC has ruled that all trades in the common shares of Immunovaccine that took place prior to 2:41 p.m. on May 12, 2014 at prices below $0.65 will be cancelled or repriced to $0.65 per share.
