ok here is some great info. If Iam reading this correctly looks like someone got their wires crossed.

To actually effect a reverse split, the NASDAQ sends to the Company a standard letter, as noted below, covering seven key points:

The instructions below outline the information required by the Corporate Data Operations Department of The NASDAQ OMX Group, Inc. to process a name change, split or merger for an issuer on the OTCBB or Other OTC markets.

A cover letter briefly describing the transaction must be sent to by email from the company or attorney that includes the following details:

Please state the old and new company name. If not applicable please indicate in your correspondence.
Please provide the old as well as the new CUSIP number. You can apply for a new number by contacting the CUSIP Service Bureau at 212-438-6565 or you can apply online at www.cusip.com
Please indicate the effective date NASDAQ OMX should make transaction effective.
Please provide the legal effective date the articles were filed with the Secretary of State or other Registrar.
· Please include a certified stamped copy of the articles/amendments filed.

· If unavailable at the time the document was filed, please forward a copy upon receipt from the Secretary of State or Registrar. Note: NASDAQ OMX cannot process any reorganization for an Other-OTC company without receipt of the certified stamped copy.

· If amendments are not a requirement at the Secretary of State or other Registrar please confirm in your correspondence.

· If a merger please include any terms or consideration given in shares or cash to shareholders.

Please provide a copy of the executed Shareholders Resolution or Inspector of Election Report relating to the corporate action. Please provide an explanation if shareholder approval is not a requirement.
Please provide a copy of the executed Board of Directors Resolution pertaining to the corporate action. If reporting a reverse or forward split please notify NASDAQ OMX 10 calendar days in advance of the record date as noted in SEC Rule 10b-17. If a split is not concurrent with a name change please indicate so in your correspondence.
· Please be advised that the applicable term for a record date is “effective date” for reverse splits and forward splits that are paid upon surrender.

· Please specify the ratio and effective date of the stock split.

· Please indicate the payment method if a forward stock split: payable upon surrender of old certificates or are new shares being mailed direct to shareholder.

· Please note that reverse and forward splits may not have an effective date on bank holidays that the stock market remains open such as Columbus Day and Veterans Day.

Please provide Transfer Agent contact information.
· Name of Agency, contact person, address, phone number, email address

· Please provide the date the transfer agency was appointed as agent.

· If changing transfer agents please provide date of termination of transfer agent.

· Please pass on the attached Transfer Agent Verification Form to your transfer agent. The transfer agent must fill out this form and submit it directly to NASDAQ OMX.



Please remit your request by email to [e-mail]. Once your documentation has been reviewed, the NASDAQ OMX will contact you with any additional inquiries or requests.

Most corporate actions will require a symbol change; such as a change in name, reverse split or forward split paid upon surrender. Unfortunately, symbols may not be reserved for Over the Counter or Over the Counter Bulletin Board markets, nor can the NASDAQ honor requests for specific issue symbols. Additionally, once a symbol is assigned, NASDAQ OMX reserves the 'right' to change the symbol. There can be no guarantee that an OTC issuer will retain their symbol indefinitely.
