Theratechnologies Announces Voluntary Filing of Form 15 to Suspend SEC Reporting Obligations

MONTREAL, QUEBEC--(Marketwired - Feb. 3, 2015) - Theratechnologies Inc. (TSX:TH) today announced that it has filed a Form 15 with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the "Exchange Act") to suspend its reporting obligations under Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act.

The Company expects that the termination of its duty to file reports will become effective 90 days after the filing of this Form 15 with the SEC. However, as a result of the filing of this Form 15 with the SEC, Theratechnologies' reporting obligations with the SEC, including its obligation to file annual reports on Form 20-F and reports on Form 6-K, will immediately be suspended. The Company is eligible to file a Form 15 to suspend and ultimately terminate its reporting obligations because it has less than 300 record holders of its common shares.

The Company's Board of Directors considered many factors in making this decision, including its delisting from the NASDAQ market in February 2013, the cost associated with preparing and filing periodic reports with the SEC, the fact that the common shares currently trade on the Toronto Stock Exchange, the reporting obligations of the Company in Canada and the availability of its Canadian disclosure document filed on the System for Electronic Document Analysis and Retrieval ("SEDAR") at www.sedar.com.

Theratechnologies will continue to file its periodic reports under Canadian securities regulation with the applicable Canadian securities regulators. All of the Company's filings can be found under the Company's profile on SEDAR.

Theratechnologies' common shares will continue trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX:TH).
