While I have no particular view on whether this is good or bad, I am a little concerned that the trading halt was preceded by a pause.
A pause is imposed by the exchange and can be implemented pretty much immediately compared to a longer timeframe for a company requested halt. It would normally be imposed where there is some evidence that the market is being manipulated or there is evidence that the market is not fully informed (it could also be imposed where the company requests a halt which requires further consideration by the exchange before being approved, but where there was a significant risk if trading were allowed to continue*).
So my take on this is that something unexpected has occurred, requiring immediate action by the exchange. That something could be very good or very bad, we'll know by Friday.
* A pause is also routinely used to briefly suspend trading after lifting of a trading halt.
