SpongeTech® Delivery Systems Announces Reverse Stock Split to Move Closer to NASDAQ Listing
SpongeTech® Delivery Systems Announces Reverse Stock Split to Move Closer to NASDAQ Listing
SpongeTech® Delivery Systems, Inc., Tuesday September 8, 2009
The same 1-for-100 reverse stock split ratio will be used to effect the reverse stock split of SpongeTech®’s issued and outstanding common stock, Class B Stock and preferred stock. Accordingly, all stockholders will be affected proportionately.
“This reverse stock split – which we believe will bring our company’s Wall Street profile in synch with our business profile – is another important step in the development of SpongeTech,” said CEO Michael Metter. “Combined with our recent engagement of Deloitte Touche LLP as our public accountants and our plan to apply for a NASDAQ listing, the reverse stock split demonstrates our commitment to establishing SpongeTech as a world-class company whose capital structure, operations and infrastructure all match the impressive sales growth we are achieving.
“We continue to expand our product portfolio, licensing agreements, and sales and marketing programs, and are very excited about the record-breaking order flow these efforts are producing. Our July 2009 acquisition of Dicon Technologies, a recognized product innovator with exceptional R&D capabilities, established distribution channels in the U.S. and Asia, and many large, direct commercial customers, perfectly positions us to leverage the many exceptional opportunities in our targeted marketplace. We’re committed both to building SpongeTech into a global player and building shareholder value, and this step will help us realize each of these goals.”
An amendment has been filed with the Delaware Secretary of State that amends SpongeTech’s certificate of incorporation for the reverse stock split, effective as of 5:00 pm ET on September 22, 2009. SpongeTech has also begun the approval process with the appropriate regulatory authorities.
In conjunction with the reverse stock split, the Board of Directors and the holders of more than a majority of SpongeTech’s voting capital stock have approved a decrease in SpongeTech®’s authorized capital. The post-split authorized capital will be 900 million shares of common stock, 25 million shares of Class B Stock and 40 million shares of preferred stock.
As a result of the reverse stock split, every 100 shares of SpongeTech’s stock will be combined into one share. Options, warrants and other stock-based awards will be adjusted on a similar basis. SpongeTech will not issue fractional shares in connection with the reverse stock split. Any fractional share which might result from the reverse stock split will be rounded up to the nearest whole share.
