Ellomay Capital Announces a One-for-Ten Reverse Split
TEL AVIV, Israel, June 2, 2011 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Ellomay Capital Ltd. (EMYCF.PK) ("Ellomay" or the "Company"), announced today that a one-for-ten reverse split of its outstanding ordinary shares will become effective on Thursday, June 9, 2011.
After the reverse split, the number of the Company's authorized ordinary shares will decrease from 170,000,000 to 17,000,000, the number of outstanding ordinary shares is expected to decrease from 107,778,493 to approximately 10,777,850 (subject to a final calculation reflecting the rounding of fractional shares) and the par value per ordinary share will increase from NIS 1.00 to NIS 10.00. All fractional shares resulting from the reverse split that are one-half share or more will be increased to the next higher whole number of shares and all fractional shares that are less than one-half share will be decreased to the next lower whole number of shares.
The reverse share split is intended to increase the per share trading price of the Company's ordinary shares as part of the Company's efforts to qualify for the listing of its ordinary shares on NYSE Amex exchange. In that regard, the Company is currently undergoing an eligibility review at the NYSE Amex and believes that the listing of its ordinary shares on the NYSE Amex exchange would provide it with greater access to public capital markets and could increase the liquidity and trading volume of its ordinary shares.
