Till Capital Reports Brief Delay in Filing of Financials

HAMILTON, Bermuda, April 29, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Till Capital Ltd. (NASDAQ: TIL) (TSX.V: TIL) (the “Company” or “Till”), a Bermuda domiciled company, reports that the filing of its December 31, 2015 financial statements will be delayed briefly.  Till experienced the resignation of its Chief Financial Officer (CFO) on January 22, 2016.  A new CFO was appointed on March 17, 2016.  In addition, the Company acquired Omega Insurance Holdings, Inc. on May 18, 2015, resulting in a requirement to provide substantial additional information in its year-end filings relative to previous periods.  Further, the Company is changing its reporting currency from Canadian to U.S. dollars.  The combined effect of all these changes has amounted to a substantial additional one-time burden on its financial staff.  The Company and its auditor are in the process of completing the associated audit work, review and required filings.  The Company anticipates that the required filings will be completed before May 15, 2016.
