TORONTO, Nov. 4, 2019 /CNW/ - PharmaCielo Ltd. ("PharmaCielo" or the "Company") (TSXV:PCLO), today announced that trading in its common shares was halted today, pending an update from Creso Pharma Limited ("Creso Pharma") in respect of PharmaCielo's proposed acquisition of the company, which was originally announced on June 6, 2019.

As outlined in a press release on November 1, 2019, BDO Corporate Finance (WA) Pty Ltd. has updated its independent expert report dated September 26, 2019, to conclude that the Share Scheme of Arrangement (the "Share Scheme") under which PharmaCielo has proposed to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Creso Pharma, is neither fair nor reasonable and is not in the best interests of shareholders of Creso Pharma.

PharmaCielo has sought confirmation from the Board of Directors of Creso Pharma that it continues to support the Share Scheme, the option scheme and the other transactions contemplated by the Scheme Implementation Agreement originally announced on June 6, 2019, and is still awaiting a response.
