Route1 to Commence Trading on a Consolidated Basis at the Opening of the Market on Tuesday, August 13, 2019
Effective at the opening of the market on Tuesday, August 13, 2019, the common shares of Route1 will commence trading on the TSX Venture Exchange on a consolidated basis.
TORONTO, Aug. 09, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Route1 Inc. (OTCQB: ROIUF and TSXV: ROI) (the “Company” or “Route1”), an advanced North American provider of industrial-grade data intelligence, user authentication and ultra-secure mobile workforce solutions, today announced that it has received conditional approval from the TSX Venture Exchange for the previously announced share consolidation. Effective at the opening of the market on Tuesday, August 13, 2019, the common shares of Route1 will commence trading on the TSX Venture Exchange on a consolidated basis.
Pursuant to a special resolution passed by shareholders on November 26, 2018, Route1 will consolidate its common shares outstanding on a ten (10) old for one (1) new basis. On the opening of the market on August 13, 2019, and using today’s common shares outstanding of 369,689,000, Route1 will have 36,968,900 common shares outstanding. The number of common shares is subject to a reduction based on any future purchases by the Company under its active Normal Course Issuer Bid program on August 12, 2019.
Route1 believes that the current number of shares outstanding is not reflective of the Company’s growth and development over the past 18 months. During that time, the Company has made two significant acquisitions and has substantially increased its revenue and operating cash flow.
A sustained higher per share price of the common shares, which the Company would expect as a result of the 10-for-one consolidation, is expected to heighten the interest of the financial community including that of research analysts in the Company and broaden the pool of investors that may consider investing in the Company, potentially increasing the trading volume and liquidity of the Common Shares. As a matter of policy, many institutional investors are prohibited from purchasing shares below certain minimum price levels.
