At the effective time of the reverse stock split, every six shares of Majesco's issued and outstanding common stock will be converted automatically into one issued and outstanding share of common stock, without any change in par value. The reverse stock split will reduce the number of shares of Majesco's common stock outstanding from approximately 16.65 million to approximately 2.775 million. In addition, the reverse stock split will effect a proportionate adjustment to the per share exercise price and the number of shares issuable upon the exercise or settlement of all outstanding options and warrants to purchase or acquire shares of Majesco's common stock, and the number of shares reserved for issuance pursuant to Majesco's existing equity incentive compensation plans were reduced proportionately. The reverse stock split also effected a proportionate adjustment to the conversion price and number of shares of common stock issuable upon the conversion of all outstanding shares of convertible preferred stock. The number of authorized shares of the Company's common and preferred stock was not affected by the reverse stock split.
No fractional shares will be issued as a result of the reverse stock split, and stockholders who otherwise would be entitled to a fractional share will receive, in lieu thereof, a cash payment based on the closing sale price of the Majesco's common stock as reported today on the NASDAQ Capital Market.
