NEW YORK, May 26, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --
DirectView Holdings, Inc. (OTC: DIRVD) ("DirectView" or the "Company"), a company focused on ownership and management of leading video and security technology companies, today announced that the Company completed a reverse split of its common stock at a ratio of 1:200, that went effective at the open of trading, May 22, 2017.
The Company is now trading under the ticker symbol DIRVD for 20 trading days following the effective date to designate that it is trading on a post-reverse split basis. DirectView's post-split common stock will trade under the new CUSIP Number 25457N401. As a result of the reverse stock split, each 200 pre-split shares of common stock outstanding are automatically combined into one new share of common stock without any action on the part of the respective holders holding shares in a brokerage account, and the number of outstanding common shares have been reduced from approximately 1.0 billion shares to approximately 4.9 million shares. The reverse stock split also applies to common stock issuable upon the conversion of outstanding notes payable and convertible preferred stock, and upon the exercise of outstanding warrants and stock options.
The Company's transfer agent, Standard Registrar and Transfer Company, Inc, will provide instructions to stockholders holding shares in certificate form regarding the process for exchanging shares. No fractional shares will be issued as a result of the reverse stock split, and stockholders who otherwise would be entitled to a fractional share will receive, in lieu thereof, a cash payment which will equal the product obtained by multiplying (a) the fraction to which the stockholder would otherwise be entitled; by (b) the per share closing sales price of the Company's common stock on the effective date of the reverse stock split.
"2017 has already been an exciting and transformative year for DirectView with our recent acquisition of Virtual Surveillance, LLC and ApexCCTV, LLC placing our Company on a revenue run rate in excess of $6 million," said Roger Ralston, CEO and Chairman of DirectView. "We believe the completion of this reverse split is another important step in the implementation of our roll-up strategy of security and surveillance-related companies that will be accretive to both revenue and profitability. We are already seeing increased business activity at our newly acquired subsidiaries as well as with other potential acquisition targets. We look forward to continuing to execute on our strategic plan in order to build long-term value for the benefit of our stockholders."
