Bacterin International, Inc. Announces Reverse Split Of Common Stock
BELGRADE, Mont., July 23, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bacterin International Holdings, Inc. (NYSE MKT:BONE), a leader in the development of revolutionary bone graft material and coatings for medical applications, today announced that a 1:10 reverse split of its common stock will be effective at the close of business on Friday, July 25, 2014 and in effect for trading purposes on Monday, July 28, 2014. The reverse stock split was approved by the company's shareholders at the 2014 Annual Shareholder's Meeting held June 11, 2014.
"The reverse split is part of our plan to maintain listing on the NYSE MKT exchange," said Dan Goldberger, President and Chief Executive Officer of Bacterin International. "We had strong support from our shareholders as evidenced by their overwhelming approval of the proposal."
At the effective time of the reverse stock split, every 10 shares of Bacterin's issued and outstanding common stock will be converted into one newly issued and outstanding share of common stock, without any change in the par value per share.
The reverse stock split will reduce the number of shares of Bacterin's outstanding common stock from 55 million to approximately 5.5 million. Proportional adjustments will be made to Bacterin's outstanding stock options, outstanding warrants, and equity incentive plan. The number of authorized shares of the company's common stock will remain unchanged.
Once the reverse stock split becomes effective, shareholders holding shares through a brokerage account will have their shares automatically adjusted to reflect the 1:10 reverse stock split. Existing shareholders holding common stock certificates will receive a letter from the company's transfer agent, Corporate Stock Transfer, with specific instructions regarding the exchange of certificates. No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the reverse stock split. Shareholders who would otherwise hold a fractional share of Bacterin's common stock will receive a cash payment in lieu of such fractional share.
