Vancouver – The British Columbia Securities Commission disciplined a company president for illegally selling shares and not filing his insider reports.

Christopher Fung has entered into a settlement with the BCSC. Fung agreed to pay $9,000 to the BCSC and he cannot act as an officer or director of any public company, except GHG Resources Limited, for at least one year.

Fung is the president, a director and the controlling shareholder of GHG Resources, a TSX Venture Exchange-listed company. In 2003 and 2004, Fung contravened the Securities Act when he:

  • illegally sold 121,500 shares of GHG Resources on the exchange without filing a prospectus or using an exemption,
  • illegally sold 600,000 shares of GHG Resources on the exchange without relying on the control person exemption properly, and
  • did not file insider reports for his purchases and sales of GHG Resources shares.
