Cherry, while I haven't lost that much, it still hurts, and I don't believe the company can justify the sort of reverse split mentioned in their draft. There are currently under 160 million shares outstanding, this figure isn't unreasonable, but a move to reduce the shares to under 100 million might be something that could be justified, I.E. a 1 for 2. Clearly taking the shares outstanding to one hundredth or less of the current O/S is purely a move to effectively eliminate current shareholders to a position of owning about 1% of the company after they once again dilute to over 100 million shares, which such a company should justify.
I fully support the goal of achieving a Nasdaq listing, but not through an extreme reverse split. I believe it should be done by raising the value of the share price through their actions. The company needs to be open with things like planned clinical trials by putting them into the clinical trials database, they need to discuss the status of their patents, in short they need to discuss the business plan. I believe that if they were open about what the company represents our share price would be far closer, if not over $1, if it were at that sort of price, I believe that bringing just one product to market could bring the share price to above the $4 required for a Nasdaq listing with no R/S, but if they wished to make it sooner, a 1 for 2 would seem reasonable. What they are proposing isn't reasonable, it's purely a vehicle to permit massive dilution after the reverse split. I believe that investors should attempt to defeat such actions by the company and push for disclosure of all the work the company is doing to properly value the stock.
