WDHR's future. . .

But what are you buying? The shell may be purchased by a group from Ukraine selling yellow cake uranium. First order of business will be to consolidate all those shares so they can start issuing debt.

If you are an original shareholder in a failed company that is planning to go through a reverse merger, you will have a chance to vote on whether to accept the merger. Since your stock is essentially worthless, voting for the reverse merger might seem to present hope of eventually recovering your investment. You will receive a certain number of shares in the new company in exchange for your original shares, but that number will be considerably smaller than the number of shares in your original holding. For example, the new company may trade 25 percent ownership for the public shell. If the new company has 100 million shares authorized, it gives 25 million to the original company's shareholders. If the original company had 250 million shares issued, each shareholder will receive one share of the new company in exchange for 10 original shares. In this example, if you owned 1,000 shares of the original stock, you would receive a certificate for 100 shares of the new stock.

OR . . .

Some new companies employ a further strategy to increase the number of shares available for use in raising capital. Since the new company has controlling interest, it holds a shareholder vote to reverse-split the authorized number of shares from 100 million to perhaps 10 million and, in the example, as an original shareholder, your number of shares will be reduced from 100 shares in the new company to 10 shares. This would be a 1-for-10 reverse split. The company then holds another vote to authorize 200 million more shares and issues 100 million new shares to raise capital. This further dilutes the value of your original shares. Many companies that have gone public through reverse mergers have large numbers of shareholders who own 10 shares or fewer.
