One Horizon Group Announces Effectiveness of 1-for-600 Reverse Stock Split

BAAR, Switzerland, Aug. 29, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- One Horizon Group, Inc. (OTCQB: OHGI) ("One Horizon Group" or the "Company"), which develops software application platforms that optimize mobile voice, instant messaging and advertising communications over the Internet, today announced that its 1-for-600 reverse stock split becomes effective for purposes of the securities markets on August 29, 2013 at the open of trading.  The shares of the Company's common stock will continue to trade on a split-adjusted basis on the OTCQB.

"The reverse stock split is an important step towards our goal of graduating to a senior U.S. equities stock market listing," stated Mark White, Chief Executive Officer of One Horizon Group. "Our objective is to have our capital markets strategies match our corporate growth opportunities and therefore trade on a national exchange that provides a more liquid trading security and more diverse range of institutional and retail investor engagement."

The Company's Board of Directors approved the reverse stock split of its common stock at a ratio of 1-for-600 and the measure was approved by shareholders at the Company's Annual Meeting held on August 6, 2013. It was filed with the relevant state legal authority and became effective under state law on that date. The reverse stock split proportionately reduces the number of all issued and outstanding shares of the Company's common stock and likewise adjusts the amount of common stock underlying stock options and warrants outstanding immediately prior to the effectiveness of the reverse stock split.  As a result of the reverse stock split, the Company's issued and outstanding shares of common stock are expected to decrease from approximately 18.9 billion pre-reverse stock split shares to approximately 31.5 million post-reverse stock split shares.  Additional information can be found in a definitive information statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 26, 2013 and which was mailed to all shareholders of record as of July 5, 2013.

As previously announced, as a result of the reverse stock split, the Company will not issue fractional shares of common stock to shareholders, including shareholders holding less than 600 shares.  Shareholders otherwise entitled to fractional shares are entitled to receive a cash payment equal to the closing price of the Company's common stock as reported by the OTCQB on the effective date of the reverse split under state law, or $0.01 per post-split fractional share.  The reverse stock split will otherwise affect all shareholders uniformly and not affect any shareholder's ownership percentage of the shares of the Company's common stock.  Nevada Agency and Transfer Company is acting as the Company's Exchange Agent in connection with the reverse stock split and can be contacted at [email protected].  Before contacting the Exchange Agent with any questions regarding the process for either receiving cash in exchange for fractional shares or a new stock certificate reflecting post-split shares, shareholders should allow for a reasonable amount of time to receive certain forthcoming notices, forms and instructions that will explain how shareholders can request such exchanges.

The ticker symbol for One Horizon Group will not change although a "D" will be appended to the trading symbol such that the trading symbol will temporarily appear as "OHGID" for 20 trading days to alert the public regarding the reverse stock split. The new CUSIP number for the Company's common stock post-reverse stock split will be 68235H 205.

Shareholders are also advised that the Company's change of domicile from Pennsylvania to Delaware is pending FINRA approval as a separate corporate action.  Shareholders should be aware that any requests to exchange stock certificates for post-reverse stock split certificates and any accompanying cash payment requests in lieu of fractional shares will be processed after FINRA's change of domicile review process is completed in order to minimize unnecessary expense.  The Company expects that it will announce updated information in this regard following the conclusion of the FINRA review process of this separate corporate action.
