ASC sanctions Robert Baker for Multi-Corp. International’s failure to comply with cease trade order

CALGARY – February 12, 2014 – The Alberta Securities Commission (ASC) has sanctioned Robert Baker for Multi-Corp. International’s failure to comply with a December 4, 2012 ASC cease trade order.  Baker was the company’s sole director and officer when the breach, which was admitted, occurred.

The ASC panel ordered that Baker:

·         must cease trading in or purchasing securities, and is prohibited from acting as a director or officer (or both) of any issuer, registrant or investment fund manager, until February 9, 2019; and

·         must pay an administrative penalty of $20,000 and $5,000 towards the cost of the investigation into this matter.

The ASC panel noted that contravention of an ASC order is a serious matter:  “Wilful disregard of such an order erodes market confidence, affecting the willingness of the public to invest and the ability of law-abiding issuers to raise capital.”

To date, the ASC’s December 4, 2012 cease trade order has not been revoked or varied.

A copy of the decision is available on the ASC website at http://www.albertasecurities.com.

The ASC is the regulatory agency responsible for administering the province’s securities laws.  It is entrusted with fostering a fair and efficient capital market in Alberta and with protecting investors.  As a member of the Canadian Securities Administrators, the ASC works to improve, coordinate and harmonize the regulation of Canada’s capital markets.
