Reverse Merger/ Reverse Split issue The company being acquired, i.e the company which will rule in fact after being acquired, needs to have control with respect of the number of shares whatever the number of share is, they will emit the number of required restricted shares. Reverse split helps as they may don't have enough authorized shares and they don't want to emit Zillions of new shares Also, having a price in the $10 helps bringing SERIOUS investors ( not amateurs like Archie LOL ) If the stock goes up, they may lower the r/s ratio, but they will issue more restricted shares. They want to have a big part of the company, and this is legitimate. Problem is that the acquiring company is supposed to have very little value, which is not the case anymore. So David point is valid, but what are the consequences ? Whether this will have an impact on stock value is a different story. As the shares will be restricted, it may have VERY LITTLE IMPACT on stock progression in the short term if the demand for share is sustained as people discover the company has real value. If value of company is limited then it will be a BLOOD BATH as people will hold a small portion of nothing instead of a big portion of nothing This does not make much difference, only the speed of the down trend will be affected. LOL :) Hope for the best Archie |
