Press Release | 06/21/2019
MIRAMAR, Fla., June 21, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Generex Biotechnology Corporation (www.generex.com) (OTCQB:GNBT) (http://www.otcmarkets.com/stock/GNBT/quote) today announced that the “Pool” shares controlled for the benefit of Generex by Joe Moscato, President and Chief Executive Officer of Generex, and consisting of shares contributed by Mr. Moscato and three others, will be retired; the 20,375,900 million shares remaining in the Pool will be returned to Generex and put back into the Generex treasury once Generex achieves its up-list to NASDAQ and the dividend is paid. Generex noted that Mr. Moscato previously waived the dividend for the Pool shares.
For clarity, there are currently 60,307,396 shares outstanding. Of these only 34,542,338 shares are eligible for the dividend. Post dividend, there will be 69,084,676 shares in the market, as the 20,375,900 Pool shares will be retired and returned to the Generex treasury, leaving only 9 million additional shares in the market than pre-dividend.
Mr. Moscato stated, “As Trustee of the Pool shares that have been set up for the benefit of Generex, and to further demonstrate my commitment to our shareholders, we have decided to retire the Pool upon payment of the 1:1 dividend and up-listing to NASDAQ, and return 20+ million shares to the Generex Treasury. The retirement of over 20 million shares is huge for shareholders, as it significantly reduces investor dilution by one-third. As we approach our goal of bringing Generex back to a national exchange, I am happy to share our success with our shareholders and provide Generex with a strong foundation for growth.”
