EXPLANATORY NOTE
On June 15, 2018, AmericaTowne Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) merged with its former parent company, AmericaTowne, Inc., with the intent on trading its shares on the OTC Markets. However, OTC Markets Group has refused to lift the caveat emptor designation on the Company’s trading symbol, making it significantly difficult to trade the Company’s stock on the OTC Markets. The Company’s public reporting obligations are overly burdensome on the Company given that it cannot access the OTC Markets. The Company files this Form 15 to notify its shareholders that it is voluntarily terminating its statutory obligations to file periodic reports pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
Pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, AmericaTowne Holdings, Inc., (Commission File No. 000-55699) has caused this certification/notice to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned duly authorized person.
