"As we said when we first announced that we were seeking shareholder approval for a stock consolidation, the board will only proceed to implement such a consolidation if the conditions are right," said Guy Nelson, Chief Executive Officer of Empire Industries. "Our shareholders granted a similar request for authority back in 2008, but the board chose not to implement a stock consolidation that year because of the stock market conditions that developed after the authority was granted. The board will again exercise its best judgement in determining when or whether to proceed with the stock consolidation, in accordance with the approval we received from our shareholders today."
