XI'AN, China, May 25, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- China Recycling Energy Corporation. (CREG) ("CREG" or "the Company"), a leading industrial waste-to-energy solution provider in China, today announced that its Board of Directors unanimously approved a reverse stock split of its common stock at a ratio of 1-for-10, with anticipated trading on the split adjusted basis on NASDAQ commencing at the open of the stock market on May 26, 2016.
The purpose of the reverse split is to raise the per share trading price of the Company's common stock to regain compliance with the minimum $1.00 continued listing requirement for the listing of its common stock on The NASDAQ Capital Market. In order to maintain the Company's listing on NASDAQ, the Company's common stock must have a closing bid price of $1.00 or more for a minimum of 10 consecutive trading days by June 13, 2016.
As a result of the reverse stock split, the number of the Company's authorized shares of common stock will be decreased from 200,000,000 shares to 20,000,000 shares and its outstanding common stock will be decreased from approximately 83 million to 8.3 million shares. Upon the effective date of the reverse stock split, every ten (10) shares of the Company's common stock outstanding automatically combine into one (1) new share of common stock. The Company will round up to the next full share of the Company's shares of common stock any fractional shares that result from the reverse stock split and no fractional shares will be issued in connection with the reverse stock split and no cash or other consideration will be paid in connection with any fractional shares that would otherwise have resulted from the reverse stock split.
There can be no assurance that following the reverse split, the Company's common stock will remain above the $1.00 per share minimum for the requisite period as of June 13, 2016 to regain listing compliance.
