CASPIAN ANNOUNCES REVOCATION OF CEASE TRADE ORDER
Calgary, Alberta - November 20, 2013 - Caspian Energy Inc. ("Caspian") (NEX CEK.H) is pleased to announce that the Alberta Securities Commission (the "ASC") has granted a full revocation of the cease trade order relating to the trading of Caspian's securities issued by the ASC on April 8, 2013. Caspian's securities were cease traded by each of the ASC, the British Columbia Securities Commission ("BCSC") and the Ontario Securities Commission ("OSC") between April 8 and April 12, 2013 as a result of the Caspian's failure to file its December 31, 2012 audited consolidated financial statements and related management discussion and analysis. The BCSC revoked its cease trade order on April 29, 2013 and the OSC cease trade order expired on April 27, 2013 after these documents were filed. On September 26,
2013, Caspian filed amended management discussion and analysis for the year ended December 31, 2012, an amended Annual Information Form and amended management discussion and analysis for the quarters ended March 31, 2013 and June 30, 2013. On November 20, 2013, the ASC revoked its cease trade order.
Caspian's common shares are listed on NEX but the listing is currently suspended which means that its shares are not trading on NEX. Caspian is working diligently to have the listing suspension removed.
