Very Good Move by Management to Reverse Stock.
1. Agree 100% that the stigma of being a low priced stock was hindering this company. Now that its near 3 bucks a share, i think it will prosper.
2. The cost of depositing shares was too high for small investors, plus brokers are not accepting shares of low priced stock. In my opinion this is going to help bigly.
REASONS FOR REVERSE SPLIT AND SPECIAL TREATMENT
The Company believes the recent per share price of the common stock may have an adverse effect on the marketability of its existing shares and the amount and percentage of transaction costs paid by individual stockholders.
The Company believes that the Reverse Split may also be advantageous to the Company and its stockholders, because it may provide the opportunity for higher share prices based upon fewer shares outstanding. It is also a factor that most brokerage houses do not permit or favor lower-priced stocks to be used as collateral for margin accounts. Certain policies and practices of the securities industry may tend to discourage individual brokers within those firms from dealing in lower-priced stocks. Some of those policies and practices involve time-consuming procedures that make the handling of lower priced stocks economically unattractive. The brokerage commissions on the purchase or sale of lower priced stocks may also represent a higher percentage of the price than the brokerage commission on higher priced stocks.
As a general rule, potential investors who might consider making investments in the Company may be unwilling to do so when the company has a large number of shares issued and outstanding with little or no stockholders' equity. In other words, the "dilution" which new investors would suffer would discourage them from investing, as a general rule of experience. A reduction in the total outstanding shares may, without any assurance, make the Company's capitalization structure more attractive.
