Treasure & Shipwreck Recovery Files Court Action to Affirm Non-Shell Status
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla., Nov. 13, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via NetworkWire -- Treasure & Shipwreck Recovery, Inc. (“TSR” or “the Company”), currently trading on the OTC as BLIS, announces that it has filed declaratory action in the Florida court system to affirm it is not and has never been a “shell” company as defined under the Securities Act. While the Company knows its history, it wants to affirm with a binding court order that no such question could exist. The reason for the suit is to protect the shareholders and the investing public and to affirm that brokers, shareholders and others know the history of the Company.
On Nov. 9, 2019, the Company filed a declaratory action in the Sixth Judicial Circuit Court for Pinellas County, Florida, for the purpose of obtaining a judicial declaratory judgment as to the Company’s status under the Securities laws regarding whether the Company has ever been a “shell” company under the Securities laws. Pursuant to Chapter 86 of the Florida statutes, the court will render a decision regarding whether the Company has ever met the definition of being a shell company under Rule 405 of the Securities Act, so that all shareholders will be able to utilize Rule 144 and otherwise be able to enjoy complete ownership and sale of such shares.
Acting CEO of TSR Craig A. Huffman, a veteran attorney for securities litigation, stated, “Sometimes there are companies that need to clarify for the world that they have never been a ‘shell’ under the Securities definition. I have done these kinds of declaratory actions a number of times to prove that companies should never live under the shadow of question of being a shell, which sometimes arises. Here, an independent judge can make a binding ruling that TSR is not, nor has it ever been, a ‘shell’ under Rule 405.”
The Company brought the suit seeking a definitive ruling from a court on such matter, as to whether under the evidence to be presented, including corporate history of financials, SEC filings and historical evidence, the Company has ever been a shell as defined under Rule 405.
The hearing on such matter will be set in the Sixth Circuit Court of Florida, Pinellas County. The Company is represented by Alex R. Stavrou, Esq., of Tampa, in such matter.
