EVS Announces Reverse Share Split

CAESAREA, Israel, Jan. 30, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Elbit Vision Systems Ltd. (OTC:EVSNF) (“EVS”, or the “Company”), a pioneer in the science of camera-based automatic vision inspection for textile fabrics and technical webs, today announced that it is to effect a reverse share split of its shares at a ratio of 1-for-10, such that every ten outstanding ordinary shares par value NIS 1.00 of the Company shall be converted into one ordinary share par value NIS 10.00. At a meeting of the Company’s shareholders on May 2, 2016, the shareholders approved a reverse share split with an exchange ratio of not less than 1-for-5 and not more than 1-for-30 and authorized the Company’s board of directors to direct the Company's management within nine months following the meeting, to implement such reverse share split at an exchange ratio within this range.
The reverse share split will become effective as of the close of business on Friday, March 24, 2017 and the Company's ordinary shares will commence trading on a split-adjusted basis when the market opens on Monday, March 27, 2017. The Company's post-split ordinary shares will continue to trade on the OTCQB under the symbol ‘EVSNF.’ Prior to the effective date the Company shall announce the new CUSIP number for the ordinary shares following the reverse share split.
Proportional adjustments will be made to the exercise prices of the Company's outstanding warrants and share options, and to the number of shares issued and issuable under the Company's equity compensation plans.
Information for Shareholders
Upon the effectiveness of the reverse split, each ten ordinary shares of the Company’s issued and outstanding share capital will automatically be combined and converted into one issued and outstanding ordinary shares par value NIS 10.0 per share. As a result of the reverse share split, the Company's issued and outstanding ordinary shares will decrease to approximately 9,400,000 ordinary shares, post-split and it’s authorized share capital will be reduced to 12,000,000 ordinary shares. No fractional shares will be issued as a result of the reverse split. Instead, all fractional shares will be rounded up to the next whole number of shares.
