DirectView Announces Reverse Stock Split
Company to trade under the ticker symbol DIRVD for 20 trading days
NEW YORK, August 2, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --
DirectView Holdings, Inc. (OTC:DIRV) ("DirectView" or the "Company"), a company focused on ownership and management of leading video and security technology companies, announced today the Company will effect a reverse split of its common stock at a ratio of 1:35, commencing at the open of trading today, August 2, 2016.
The Company's ticker symbol will be DIRVD for 20 trading days 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 25457N302. As a result of the reverse stock split, each 35 pre-split shares of common stock outstanding will automatically combine into one new share of common stock without any action on the part of the respective holders, and the number of outstanding common shares will be reduced from approximately 804 million shares to approximately 23 million shares. The reverse stock split will also apply 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 Co., Inc., will provide instructions to stockholders 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.
"As we continue to build our security and body camera businesses for the future, we believe effecting this reverse stock split was a necessary step for maximizing the long term value of DirectView for our stockholders," said Roger Ralston, Chairman and CEO of DirectView. "We intend to work methodically on increasing organic revenue in our core businesses while examining tactical initiatives such as strategic partnerships or other accretive opportunities to accelerate our overall growth. With a reduced number of shares now outstanding, we believe we are better positioned to capitalize on these efforts and look forward to expanding our business for the benefit of our stockholders."
