Interesting parts of the filing: An amendment
Post# of 41413
An amendment to Article III of the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, to effect a reverse stock split of the Company’s capital stock at a ratio of between one-for-25 and one-for-50, with such ratio to be determined at the sole discretion of the Board and with such reverse stock split to be effected at such time and date, if at all, as determined by the Board in its sole discretion (which is referred to as the “Reverse Split Proposal”).
Holders of record of our common stock at the close of business on April 20, 2017 (the “Record Date”) will be entitled to notice of and to vote at the Special Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof. However, to assure your representation at the Special Meeting, please vote your proxy via the internet, by telephone, or, if you received a printed form of proxy in the mail, by completing, dating, signing and returning the enclosed proxy.
The Special Meeting will be held on at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Standard Time on May 11, 2017, at Stewart International Airport, Hangar G, located at 169 NY-17K, Newburgh, NY 12550, or such other date, time and place to which the Special Meeting may be adjourned or postponed. You are cordially invited to attend the Special Meeting, at which stockholders will be asked to consider and vote upon the following proposals, which are more fully described in this proxy statement.
Our Board also believes that the Reverse Split and any resulting increase in the per share price of our Common Stock will enhance the acceptability and marketability of our Common Stock to the financial community and investing public. Many institutional investors have policies prohibiting them from holding lower-priced stocks in their portfolios, which reduces the number of potential buyers of our Common Stock, although we have not been told by them that is the reason for not investing in our Common Stock. Additionally, analysts at many brokerage firms are reluctant to recommend lower-priced stocks to their clients or monitor the activity of lower-priced stocks. Brokerage houses frequently have internal practices and policies that discourage individual brokers from dealing in lower-priced stocks. Further, because brokers’ commissions on lower-priced stock generally represent a higher percentage of the stock price than commissions on higher priced stock, investors in lower-priced stocks pay transaction costs which are a higher percentage of their total share value, which may limit the willingness of individual investors and institutions to purchase our Common Stock.
The Reverse Split will not have any dilutive effect on our stockholders as the proportion of shares owned by our stockholders relative to the number of shares authorized for issuance will remain the same.
