root9B Technologies Announces Results of 2016 Special Meeting of Stockholders

NEW YORK, Oct. 24, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- root9B Technologies, Inc. (OTCQB: RTNB) announced the results of its 2016 Special Meeting of Stockholders, held earlier today in New York City.   

At the Special Meeting, stockholders approved two proposals that amend the Company's certificate of incorporation to: i) effect a reverse stock split at a ratio within the range of 1:9 to 1:18, with the exact ratio and timing of any such reverse split to be determined by the Company's Board of Directors; and ii) decrease the Company's authorized shares of common stock from 125,000,000 to 30,000,000 post the reverse stock split.  

"The approval of these two proposals positions us to pursue a listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market, and provides the necessary flexibility to manage our capital structure in order to attract additional investors and support our growth," said Joseph J. Grano, Jr., Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of root9B Technologies.

"We are continuing to progress towards the transition of RTNB to a pure-play cybersecurity company with a sole focus on the operations of our wholly-owned subsidiary root9B," Mr. Grano continued.  "In that regard, we continue to evaluate the sale of our non-cybersecurity assets, primarily IPSA International and any remaining components of our energy practice.  Should such a sale occur, the monetization of these assets will enhance our liquidity and allow us to focus on accelerating the growth of root9B's unique products and services.

"With respect to root9B, as recently announced our ongoing business development activities have yielded more than $12 million in contracts to be serviced over the next few years with commercial and government entities," he added.  "We have a growing contract pipeline and see a substantial commercial market developing for the active adversary pursuit (HUNT) cybersecurity solution created by Eric Hipkins and his team, which is comprised primarily of former government and military cyber operations experts."
