Section 8-Other Events
Item 8.01 Other Events
On 17 January 2013, the Board of Directors of Amarantus BioScience, Inc. adopted a unanimous written resolution authorizing the Company’s officers, agents, and counsel to take any and all action reasonably necessary to cause the immediate cessation of trading and delisting of Amarantus common stock from the Berlin-Bremen Stock Exchange (the “BBSE”), or from any unofficially regulated markets controlled by the BBSE, including the commencement of legal proceedings in the United States or Germany against the BBSE or any broker or other unauthorized person making a market in the Company’s stock in Germany through the BBSE or otherwise. The Company’s common stock was listed on the BBSE without the Company’s prior knowledge, consent, or authorization. The Company did not authorize or direct any BBSE broker to act as market maker for the Company’s common stock, and believes such listing is part of an organized effort to circumvent U.S. securities laws, including the restrictions against “naked short selling.”
The Company believes that de-listing from the BBSE will facilitate the orderly trading of the Company’s stock.
