Converted Organics Inc. (NASDAQ:COIN) announced today that, effective February 16, 2010, the Company will voluntarily remove its Units from listing on the NASDAQ Capital Market. The Units currently trade under the symbol "COINU." Each Unit consists of one share of common stock and one Class H warrant. The Class H warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of common stock at a price of $1.30 per share, and will expire on October 14, 2014. As a result of the delisting, beginning February 16 2010, the Units will no longer trade under the symbol "COINU" and for each Unit held, the shareholder's account will reflect ownership of one share of common stock and one Class H warrant. The common stock and the Class H warrants trade on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbols "COIN" and "COINW," respectively.
The Company has chosen to delist the Unit to benefit investors who have reported being faced with fees when they have attempted to convert the Unit themselves. To save investors from potential charges, Converted Organics has chosen to effect the delisting of the Unit thereby separating the security into its component parts of one share of common stock and one Class H warrant.
The Units were originally issued through the Company's secondary public offering in October 2009. A registration statement relating to these securities was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 14, 2009. The offering was made by the Company only by means of a written prospectus forming part of the effective registration statement. Copies of the final prospectus relating to the offering may be obtained from the offices of Chardan Capital Markets, LLC at 17 State Street, New York, NY, 10004.
This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state.
