IRAMAR, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Company plans to issue a 20:1 common stock dividend
Record & Payment Dates to be Announced
Generex Biotechnology Corporation (www.generex.com) (GNBT) (http://www.otcmarkets.com/stock/GNBT/quote) today announced its plan to issue a stock dividend. The Company’s Board of Directors has approved the issuance of 20 shares of common stock for every one share of issued and outstanding common stock. As at the date hereof, there are 1,068,100 shares of the Company’s common stock issued and outstanding.
All options, warrants, and convertible securities of the Company that are outstanding on the record date and entitle the holders thereof to exercise or convert for shares of the Company’s common stock will be proportionally adjusted to reflect the dividend.
The Company will announce record and payment dates in respect of the stock dividend in due course following the completion of requisite regulatory filings.
There will be no change in the Company’s ticker symbol as a consequence of the stock dividend.
President & Chief Executive Officer Joseph Moscato commented: “I am pleased that the Board of Directors of Generex have approved this shareholders’ dividend as a reward to our loyal shareholders for allowing us to reorganize the Company by approving all of our initiatives at our annual meeting last November, which enabled us to ignite our acquisition strategy. With the completion of our first closing of the Veneto company operating assets on October 3, and the projected second acquisition of the enterprise operating assets on November 1st, we will have transformed the Company into a fully integrated operating company that will generate significant revenues and profits, which are projected to grow exponentially as we expand the model to a national footprint. This stock dividend, together with the implementation of other Company initiatives, will hopefully position the Company to eventually seek an up-listing to the Nasdaq Capital Market. I look forward to distributing the 20 for one stock dividend in the near term providing a 20-times benefit back to our shareholders for their help in reaching our goal to build an integrated pharmaceutical company that delivers solutions in this new era of healthcare. Thank you to all of our Generex shareholders, management, board members, partners, and subsidiaries for all your support.”
