(firmenpresse) - VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwired) -- 08/16/16 -- A British Columbia Securities Commission (BCSC) panel has permanently banned Gordon Brent Pierce from the province''s capital markets, citing his history of securities misconduct in British Columbia and in the United States.
Pierce, a B.C. resident, is the subject of two orders issued by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The orders include sanctions for securities related misconduct in the U.S. and were issued in 2009 and 2011.
Pierce also has a prior securities regulatory history in B.C. On June 8, 1993, Pierce entered into a settlement agreement with the Commission. As part of the settlement, Pierce agreed to an order that prohibited him from acting as a director or officer of a reporting issuer and from acting as an officer or director of any company that provides management and administrative, promotional or consulting services to any reporting issuer for a period of 15 years. The order also removed his ability to rely on trading exemptions for the same period.
In its decision, the panel stated that Pierce poses a grave risk to B.C.''s capital markets, saying:
The panel has ordered that Pierce resign any positions he holds as, and is permanently prohibited from becoming or acting as, a director or officer of any issuer or registrant. The panel also permanently banned Pierce from trading in or purchasing any securities or exchange contracts, becoming or acting as a registrant or promoter, acting in a management or consultative capacity in connection with activities in the securities market, and engaging in investor relations activities.
