That's pretty flimsy evidence.





wee, here is my source the company bylaws.
ARTICLE SIX -
SHARE CERTIFICATES AND DIVIDENDS
6.01
Share Certificates:
Share certificates shall be in such forms as the board by resolution shall approve from time to time







That's it? I wouldn't have any confidence at all that the language in Article 6 of the company bylaws gives them the ability to do a reverse split without shareholder approval, especially when there seems to be national/provincial law that is much more specific:





http://naimlawfirm.com/2012/02/20/reverse-stock-splits/


The Canada Business Corporations Act (CBCA) and its progeny (e.g. Ontario) handle forward and reverse splits homogeneously: both presuppose an amendment to the articles approved by a special resolution of the shareholders[3]. Having rejected the notion of par value stock, in theory it should have been possible to subdivide / consolidate shares without going through the amendment process. However, the CBCA considers that a stock split is a “fundamental adjustment in the outstanding share capital of a corporation and may therefore be construed as a matter properly allocated to the shareholders”[4]. The amendment will not give rise to special voting rights by the class of shares that is forward/reverse split unless the rights and privileges attached to the shares are somehow affected, viz. in the event of a reclassification.
