Shares halted!

[RiverRider]

Back in may, I bought some shares from Magistral Biotech (MBS from TSX Venture Exchange). Since that, these shares kept falling and now they are "halted" at 0.06$. The reason seem to be that Magistral Biotech cant pay their debts anymore and that they will be acquired by another company. I would like to know what that exactly means (will lose thoses shares? are they still worth 0.06$?). I provided a link to the news release that explain it all.

Any information would be greatly appreciated!

From the release...

[ QUOTE ]
Magistral has made a request to the exchange in order that the trading of its shares on the exchange be halted until the closing of the proposed transaction, in order to facilitate its completion.

It simply means that you won't be able to trade the shares until the transaction closes. You will probably receive a package of info explaining the impact of the merger and asking you to vote for it.

You actually had problems with a stock you bought on TSX??

Amazing.
