CirTran Corp. Announces 15-1 Stock Split

SALT LAKE CITY, Jul 23, 2001 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- CirTran Corp. (Pink Sheets: CIRT) Monday announced that its board of directors has unanimously approved a 15:1 forward split of the company's common stock.
This will effectively increase the issued shares from 10,495,637 to 157,434,555. The forward split was done to address what is anticipated to be the last hurdle in the relisting process. The NASD had previously commented that due to the extremely small number of shares currently available in the public float, a move to the OTCBB would continue to be delayed.

Iehab Hawatmeh, president of CirTran commented, "This split will hopefully increase the float to a level acceptable by the NASD, and should also allow for increased liquidity, and a more favorable bid/ask spread. The NASD returned comments after our previous OTCBB listing application that the small float was a concern.

"Further, CirTran will be poised to take advantage of the opportunities presented due to consolidation within our industry."

In a statement from the board of directors the company issued, "All stockholders of record as of the close of business on Aug. 2, 2001 shall receive for no additional consideration on Aug. 3, 2001, 14 additional shares of common stock for each share held and the shares of common stock so issued shall be, when issued, fully paid and non-assessable."
