CALGARY, AB, Dec. 14, 2020 /CNW/ - New West Energy Services Inc. (TSX: NWE), an oil and gas and environmental services company focused on Western Canada, today announced that its minority shareholders approved on December 11, 2020 at the company's annual and special meeting a resolution authorizing NWE to voluntarily delist its common shares from the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV").   NWE also received final approval from the TSXV to the delisting, which will be effective at the close of trading on December 24, 2020.  The TSXV is expected to issue a bulletin to this effect.

As a public company, management of NWE has been unable to secure needed financing and NWE's directors believe that the minimal trading activity of the Common Shares no longer justifies the expense and administrative requirements associated with maintaining the listing.  As such, NWE's directors believe that it would be in the best interests of NWE and all stakeholders to have the Common Shares voluntarily delisted from the TSXV and for the directors to consider options for taking NWE private and it ceasing to be a reporting issuer in Canada subsequent to the delisting. Any such going-private transaction would be subject to minority shareholder approval.

Neither the TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined in the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.
