EastWest Files Audited 2019 Annual Financial Statements and Provides Fifth Status Report Regarding Management Cease-Trade Order

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / January 31, 2020 / EastWest Bioscience Inc. (TSXV:EAST) ("EastWest" or the "Corporation") announces that it filed its annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended July 31, 2019, related management discussion and analysis and applicable officer certificates (collectively, the "Annual Filings"). The Annual Filings can be accessed on the Company's SEDAR profile at www.sedar.com.

The Corporation has not yet filed its interim financial statements for the three month period ended October 31, 2019 (the "Quarter One Financial Statements"), the accompanying management's discussion and analysis and the related CEO and CFO certifications (the "Quarter One Filings"), which were due on December 30, 2019.

The Company provides this default status report in accordance with National Policy 12-203 – Cease Trade Orders for Continuous Disclosure Defaults ("NP 12-203"). In its initial default announcement of November 29, 2019 (the "Default Notice"), the Corporation announced the delay in the filing of its Annual Filings by the filing deadline of November 28, 2019. The Company subsequently provided bi-weekly default status reports on December 12, 2019, December 27, 2019, January 10, 2020, and January 23, 2020, in which it also announced that the Company anticipated that its interim financial statements for the three month period ended October 31, 2019 (the "Quarter One Financial Statements"), the accompanying management's discussion and analysis and the related CEO and CFO certifications (the "Quarter One filings"), which were due on December 31, 2019, would not be filed by the filing deadline, and would be filed after the Annual Filings were completed and filed.

As previously announced, the Corporation applied for and was granted management cease trade orders in respect of the delayed Annual Filings (the "MCTO") by the British Columbia Securities Commission and the Financial and Consumer Affairs Division of Saskatchewan which prohibit the chief financial officer and the chief executive officer from trading in the Corporation's securities for so long as there are filings that are outstanding under applicable securities laws. The MCTO does not affect the ability of the general investing public to trade in the Corporation's listed common shares.

The Corporation applied for and was granted an extension to the MCTO and to the filing deadline for the 2020 Quarter One Filings by the British Columbia Securities Commission, the principal regulator of the Corporation, to February 7, 2020. The Corporation has applied for the same extension from the Financial and Consumer Affairs Division of Saskatchewan, the response to which is pending.

The preparation of the Quarter One Financial Statements is progress and the Corporation expects to file the 2020 Quarter One Filings on or before February 7, 2020.

The Corporation confirms that since the Default Notice: (i) there is no material change to the information set out in the Default Notice that has not been generally disclosed; (ii) there has been no failure by the Corporation in fulfilling its stated intentions with respect to satisfying the provisions of the alternative information guidelines set out in NP 12-203; (iii) there has not been any other specified default by the Corporation under NP 12-203; and (iv) there is no other material information concerning the affairs of the Corporation that has not been generally disclosed.

The Corporation will continue to comply with the provisions of the alternative information guidelines under NP 12-203 by issuing bi-weekly default status reports in the form of news releases for so long as it remains in default of the filing requirements set out above.

HAGENS BERMAN, NATIONAL TRIAL ATTORNEYS, Alerts Investors in Grand Canyon Education (LOPE) to Investigation of Possible Securities Fraud and Encourages Investors Who Have Suffered Losses to Contact its Attorneys

SAN FRANCISCO, CA / ACCESSWIRE / January, 31, 2020 / Hagens Berman urges investors in Grand Canyon Education, Inc. (NASDAQ:LOPE) who have suffered significant losses to submit their losses now. The firm is actively investigating whether the Company and senior executives violated federal securities laws, and certain investors may have valuable claims.

Grand Canyon Education, Inc. (LOPE) Investigation:

The investigation centers on whether LOPE's financial reporting misled investors, including its accounting and disclosures with respect to related entities.

On Sept. 9, 2019, Citron Research published a report entitled, "Structural Change Without Legacy Customers Has (LOPE) Falling off a Cliff," accusing LOPE of moving costs to an off-balance sheet subsidiary to inflate the Company's profitability. This news drove the price of LOPE shares sharply lower that day.

Then, on Jan. 28, 2020, Citron published another scathing report about the Company entitled, "The Educational Enron; The Multiple Smoking Guns that Prove LOPE is Using a Captive Subsidiary to Manipulate Earnings." Likening LOPE to Enron, the research firm accused LOPE of "using Grand Canyon University as a liability dumping ground/cookie jar in order to manipulate earnings and cover up for the headwinds they face due to a challenging environment in for-profit online education." This news drove the price of LOPE shares sharply lower during intraday trading on Jan. 28, 2020.

"We're focused on investors' losses and whether LOPE secretly dumped costs on Grand Canyon to appear more profitable," said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the investigation.

Whistleblowers: Persons with non-public information regarding LOPE should consider their options to help in the investigation or take advantage of the SEC Whistleblower program. Under the new program, whistleblowers who provide original information may receive rewards totaling up to 30 percent of any successful recovery made by the SEC.

The Company's future plans involve renewing its focus on merchant banking by nurturing select existing investments in its current portfolio, and exploring opportunities to make new investments that have the potential to build value for its shareholders.
