MedeFile International Announces Intent to Effect a Reverse Stock Split of Its Common Stock
BOCA RATON, FL, Sep 27, 2012 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) -- MedeFile International, Inc. (OTCQB: MDFI), a leader in Internet-enabled Personal Health Record (iPHR) management solutions, today announced that its majority shareholders and Board of Directors have approved a 1-for-5000 reverse stock split of the Company's common stock. The reverse stock split is expected to become effective within the next two weeks pursuant to and in accordance with the FINRA notification process.
Certain factors and considerations regarding the decision to approve the reverse stock split included, but were not limited to, possible reluctance of brokerage firms and institutional investors to recommend lower-priced stocks to their clients or to hold in their portfolios; and the current trading price of the Company's shares of common stock on the OTCQB limits the marketability and liquidity of the common stock due to prevailing prohibitions at certain major clearing firms to clear shares of common stock that trade below ten cents.
Upon the reverse stock split being effective, every 5000 shares of the Company's common stock will be combined into one share of common stock. Based on the number of shares of common stock currently issued and outstanding, MedeFile anticipates that immediately after the effective date, MedeFile will have approximately 10,708,099 shares issued and outstanding. The common stock par value will remain unchanged.
Fractional shares resulting from the reverse stock split will be rounded up to nearest whole share.
Additional information about the intended reverse stock split is contained in a Form 8-K filed this afternoon with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
