World
Gaming Shares Resume Trading
On October 25, 2005, the National
Association of Securities Dealers (the "NASD"),
acting pursuant to NASD Rule 6545, directed
its members to halt trading and quotations for
five business days in the over-the counter ("OTC")
market of the Company's ADRs that were included
in the OTC Bulletin Board (the "OTCBB").
The
NASD trading halt was for five business days
and expired on 01 November 2005. Quotations
on the OTCBB of the Company's ADRs, however,
could resume only after market makers of the
Company's ADRs satisfy applicable requirements
under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended, and NASD Rules. In particular, market
makers will need to comply with U.S. Securities
and Exchange Commission Rule 15c2-11 by filing
a Form 211 with the NASD.
The
Company is pleased to announce that Paulson
Investment Company, Inc. ("Paulson")
has received approval to quote the Company's
ADRs on the OTCBB. Paulson, Portland, Oregon,
is a full service brokerage firm engaged in
the purchase and sale of securities from and
to the public and for its own account and in
investment banking activities. Paulson's parent
company, Paulson Capital Corp., is publicly
traded (Nasdaq: PLCC).
