The Digital Wine Ventures Ltd (ASX: DW8) share price has been brought to a halt in trading today ahead of a significant announcement. As such, shares in the company remain frozen at 14.5 cents, the trading price at Friday's market close.
The news comes on the back of a remarkable month for the company that has seen its share price rise by an impressive 107%.
What's happening?
Shares in the company are at a standstill pending the release of an announcement regarding a material partnership agreement.
The trading halt will remain until this Wednesday or when the company releases its news. Whichever comes first.
Investors will have to remain patient until the announcement is made. However, the Digital Wine share price has been performing well as of late.
Last week, the company signed a significant agreement with global giant eBay Inc (NASDAQ: EBAY). The agreement will enable eBay shoppers to choose wines on its platform. They then are packaged and transported by Digital Wine's WINEDEPOT platform.
This follows a major international deal in February when Digital Wine announced a partnership with Vivino, the "world's largest wine app and marketplace".
