Immunotec Announces Proposed Share Consolidation
(firmenpresse) - TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire) -- 02/20/12 -- Immunotec Inc. (TSX VENTURE: IMM) ("Immunotec" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that at its Annual and Special Meeting of Shareholders (the "Meeting") to be held on March 29, 2012, the Company will be seeking shareholder approval of a special resolution authorizing an amendment to the Company's articles of amalgamation on such basis as the directors of the Company may determine, so as to consolidate its common shares (the "Common Shares") on the basis of one (1) post-consolidation Common Share for a maximum fifteen (15) pre-consolidation Common Shares (the "Share Consolidation"). In addition to approval from Immunotec's shareholders by special resolution at the Meeting, the Share Consolidation would also be subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
The principal reasons for considering the Share Consolidation include the Company's belief that, if approved and effected, the Company could benefit from a raise of its share price to more attractive levels, the improvement of trading liquidity and better chances of raising further capital in the future. The change in the number of issued and outstanding Common Shares that would result from the Share Consolidation would cause no change in the capital attributable to the Common Shares and would not materially affect any shareholder's percentage ownership in the Company, even though such ownership would be represented by a smaller number of Common Shares. As at the date hereof, there are an aggregate of 70,026,313 Common Shares issued and outstanding. If approved, and should the Board of Directors elect to proceed to the Share Consolidation on the basis of a 1:15 ratio, which ratio has not yet been conclusively determined, upon completion of the Share Consolidation, there would be an aggregate of approximately 4,668,421 Common Shares of the Company issued and outstanding.
