Advised of Legal Action by Certain Noteholders; Company Notified of Amex Panel Appeal Decision

Publié le 02 juin 2011

Published : June 01, 2011

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - June 1, 2011) - Crystallex International Corporation (News - Market indicators)(NYSE Amex:KRY) ("Crystallex" or the "Company") reported today that it has been served with a Notice of Application by certain holders of the senior unsecured notes of Crystallex that are due December 23, 2011. The noteholders are seeking a declaration from the Court that there has been a "Project Change of Control" event as defined in the First Supplemental Indenture made as of December 23, 2004 which would require Crystallex to purchase all of the notes of each note holder who has so requested at a price equal to 102% of the principal amount of the notes, together with accrued and unpaid interest to the date of purchase.

A "Project Change of Control" is defined as "the occurrence of any transaction as a result of which Crystallex ceases to beneficially own, directly or indirectly, at least a majority interest in the Las Cristinas project asset."

Crystallex has previously successfully defended multiple actions by the noteholders and it intends to vigorously defend this application as well.

Additionally, the Company has been advised by the NYSE Amex that its May 24th, 2011 Appeal of the Exchange's delisting determination has been denied. Crystallex has the right to appeal this decision to the full Committee on Securities, within 15 calendar days, which it intends to do. The Company understands that the NYSE Amex will suspend trading of Crystallex shares on the NYSE Amex while this next Appeal is ongoing. The Company continues to trade on the TSX Exchange and has been advised by OTC Markets Group Inc., which operates the world's largest electronic marketplace for broker-dealers to trade unlisted stocks, that its securities will be immediately eligible for quotation on the OTCQB upon the suspension of trading on the NYSE Amex. Investors will be able to view Real Time Level II stock quotes for the Company at http://www.otcmarkets.com. A further announcement will be made once a determination has been made on the date of the implementation of the trading suspension and once the Company has been advised of its new trading symbol.

The Company is continuing to pursue its objectives of diligently advancing the arbitration claim against Venezuela, while proceeding with the sale of equipment, the ongoing evaluation of opportunities in the mining sector and debt refinancing and restructuring initiatives.
