HOUSTON, Dec. 19, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- One World Holdings, Inc. (OTCQB:OWOO) today announced that a 1-for-750 reverse stock split of its common shares has been approved by the Company's Board of Directors and by written consent of stockholders holding a majority of the Company's outstanding shares of stock, effective upon the commencement of trading on December 30, 2013, subject to the approval by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA").
The reverse split will consolidate every 750 common shares into one common share, par value of $0.0025 per share. As a result of the reverse stock split, the number of shares of common stock outstanding will be reduced from approximately 804,248,645 to approximately 1,072,331 shares, subject to rounding up of all fractional shares to the nearest whole share. With respect to the underlying shares of common stock associated with any derivative securities, such as warrants, options and convertible notes, the conversion and exercise prices and number of common shares issuable generally will be adjusted in accordance to the 1:750 ratio. The number of authorized shares of common stock will be reduced from 1,500,000,000 to 50,000,000.
It is anticipated that the reverse stock split will establish a higher market price for the Company's common shares and reduce per share transaction fees, as well as certain administrative costs.
The Company's transfer agent, Colonial Stock Transfer ("Colonial"), will also act as exchange agent for the reverse stock split. After the reverse split takes effect, upon inquiry, shareholders will receive information from Colonial regarding the process for exchanging their common shares.
Subject to FINRA approval, the Company's shares of common stock will begin trading on a split-adjusted basis when the market opens on December 31, 2013.
