OTTAWA, Oct 8, 2014 /CNW/ - Ackroo Inc. (TSXV: AKR), a loyalty and rewards technology and services provider, announces that it intends to seek shareholder approval to consolidate its issued and outstanding common shares on the basis of 10 pre-consolidated shares for one post-consolidated share, at a special meeting to be held on November 19, 2014. Management believes that the consolidation is necessary in order to provide the Company with a share capital structure that will better attract additional equity financing.
As of the date hereof Ackroo has 68,917,717 common shares issued and outstanding. After the proposed roll-back the Company would have approximately 6,891,772 common shares issued and outstanding. No fractional post-consolidated shares would be issued and all fractional shares resulting from the consolidation would be rounded down to the nearest whole number and no cash considerations would be paid in respect of any fractional shares. The outstanding 6,891,772 stock options and 14,981,596 warrants would also be adjusted by the consolidation ratio. In addition, shareholders will be asked to approve a re-pricing of all of the Company's currently outstanding stock options based on the market price after the consolidation, subject to a minimum exercise price of $0.05.
The consolidation and re-pricing of stock options are both conditional on shareholder approval being received at the meeting, and to prior approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
