CALGARY, April 21 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ - Resverlogix Corp. (“Resverlogix” or the “Company”) announced today that 948,700 stock options due to expire April 25, 2008 will automatically be extended pursuant to the Company’s stock option plan and in accordance with TSX Staff Notice 2006-0001. The Company’s stock option plan provides that in the event that stock options would otherwise expire during a “blackout” trading restriction imposed by the Company under its Corporate Governance Policy, then such options shall be extended until 10 business days following the date the black out period is lifted by the Company. This is to give the option holders fair and reasonable opportunity to exercise their options.
While it is not the Company’s normal policy to publicize blackout dates, given the significant number of options in question and the fact they are held by directors and senior officers of the Company, Resverlogix desired to clarify the options’ status to ensure the market was not in any way misled. It is not known at this time when the blackout period will be lifted.
