TORONTO, ONTARIO, Jun 01 (MARKET WIRE) --
Devine Entertainment Corporation (OTCBB: DVNNF), announced today that a
Cease Trade Order has been issued by the Ontario Securities Commission on
May 26, 2009 due to the failure of the Company to file its annual audited

and analysis and annual information form for the year ended December 31,
2008. Trading in the Company's shares has been halted in Canada for such
period until further order by the Director. In addition to the Cease
Trade Order, the Company is subject to the cease trade orders issued by
the Autorite des marches financiers on May 14, 2009 and by the British
Columbia Securities Commission on May 19, 2009, each of which was issued
due to the failure of the Company to file and mail to its Shareholders
audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008. The
Company intends to comply with the requirements of the Ontario Securities
Commission , the Autorite des marches and the British Columbia Securities
Commission in connection with the Cease Trade Orders.

Devine continues to pursue a series of corporate and production related
financings that, if completed successfully in the near future, will put
the Company on a stronger fiscal footing and provide the Company with
sufficient financial resources to pay its auditors to complete the audit
required in connection with the 2008 Financial Statements and the review
required in connection with the March 31, 2009 Quarterly Financial
Statements. The Company has applied for a partial revocation of the Cease
Trade Order to be able to complete certain financings and the Company
also intends, within a reasonable time, to apply to the Ontario
Securities Commission the Autorite des marches and the British Columbia
Securities Commission for a full revocation of the Cease Trade Orders.

The Company is also providing its second bi-weekly Default Status Report
in accordance with National Policy 12-203: Cease Trade Orders for

delay in the filing mailing of its audited comparative financial
statements (including the Management's Discussion and Analysis related
thereto) as well as the filing of its Management Information Circular for
the year ended December 31, 2008, which are due to be filed and mailed to
shareholders no later than June 9, 2009. Until such time as the 2008
Financial Statements have been filed, Devine intends to postpone the date
for its annual meeting of shareholders for the year ended December 31,
2008, which was previously scheduled for June 30, 2009.

The Company confirms that, except as described herein and in its initial
announcement: (i) there is no material change to the information set out
