The Board of Directors of the British Virgin Islands-registered company Euro Tech Holdings Company Limited approved a reverse stock split of the Company’s ordinary shares, which is effective from January 13, 2012.
After the Reverse Split, every eleven ordinary shares outstanding prior to the Reverse Split will be converted to two ordinary shares. Any owner of less that one full share of the new shares will receive cash in lieu of the fractional shares.
The company’s transfer agent, American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC, will process the corporate action. BVI company’s shareholders are required to exchange their current stock certificates for new ones representing new shares.
In the first press release, the BVI company announced that “D” would be added on the ticker symbol for 30 days once the Reverse Split is effective. However, on January 17 the company corrected the previous announcement, saying that no change would be made to the trading symbol upon effectiveness of the Reverse Split.
