Par Petroleum Announces Reverse Stock Split
Par Petroleum Corporation (OTCQB Marketplace: PARR), a diversified energy company, announced today the effectiveness of its one for ten reverse stock split. Par’s common stock will continue to trade on the OTQB Marketplace under the symbol “PARR.”
As previously disclosed, upon effectiveness of the reverse stock split, every ten shares of issued Par common stock were automatically exchanged for one share of common stock.
No fractional shares were issued in connection with the reverse stock split. Stockholders who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fractional share of Par common stock are entitled to receive a cash payment in lieu of the fractional share.
Corporate Stock Transfer is acting as the Company's Exchange Agent in connection with the reverse stock split. Stockholders holding physical stock certificates will receive the notices, forms and instructions regarding the exchange of their certificates reflecting pre-split shares for certificates reflecting post-split shares from the Exchange Agent.
Holders of shares of common stock held in book-entry form do not need to take any action in connection with the reverse stock split, and will see the impact of the reverse stock split automatically reflected in their accounts.
Banks, brokers and other holders of record will be instructed to effect the reverse stock split for their customers holding common stock in street name. However, these banks, brokers and other holders of record may have different procedures for processing a reverse stock split. Stockholders who hold shares of common stock in street name are encouraged to contact their bank, broker, or other holders of record.
