SECTION 3. SECURITIES AND TRADING MATTERS
ITEM 3.02 UNREGISTERED SALES
FORWARD STOCK SPLIT
On July 14, 2009, our Board of Directors, pursuant to minutes of written consent
in lieu of a special meeting, authorized and approved a forward stock split of
two for one (2:1) of our total issued and outstanding shares of common stock
(the "Forward Stock Split"). Each of our shareholders holding one share of
common stock was entitled to receive an additional two shares of our common
stock. The additional shares of our common stock to be issued to the
shareholders in accordance with the Forward Stock Split will be mailed on
approximately August 4, 2009 without any action on the part of the shareholders.
The Forward Stock Split was effectuated based on market conditions and upon a
determination by our Board of Directors that the Forward Stock Split was in our
best interests and of the shareholders. In our judgment, the Forward Stock Split
will result in an increase in our trading float of shares of common stock
available for sale resulting in facilitation of investor liquidity and trading
volume potential. The intent of the Forward Stock Split is to increase the
marketability of our common stock.
The Forward Stock Split was effectuated with a record date of July 14, 2009 upon
filing the appropriate documentation with NASDAQ. The Forward Stock Split
increased issued and outstanding shares of common stock from 17,016,196 to
approximately 34,032,392 shares of common stock.
Commensurate with the Forward Stock Split, the authorized share capital was
increased from 33,333,333 shares of common stock to 66,666,666 with a par value
of $0.001 per share.
