OTTAWA, April 06, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Leonovus Inc. (“Leonovus” or the “Company”) (TSXV: LTV) today provides a business update regarding its March 5, 2020 announcement that it had entered into a non-binding agreement to purchase PureColo Inc.
Over the past month the Company has performed a significant amount of due diligence on the colocation market and PureColo. Leonovus has focused its financing efforts on several potential strategic investors as well as retail brokers.  The COVID-19 crisis is limiting the availability of investors for discussion as well as slowing down the overall financing process. As of this date we do not have a proposal from an investor but will continue our due diligence and search for financing. We continue to reduce and monitor expenses.  Trading in the shares of the Company will remain halted until such time as the required documentation regarding the Fundamental Acquisition, pursuant to Section 5.6(d) of TSXV Exchange Policy 5.3 is submitted by the Company to the TSXV for their review and such review is completed.About Leonovus
