Jeff, 66 for 1 Reverse split LOL (COMTEX) B: Advanced Gaming Technology Announces Confirmation of Plan B: Advanced Gaming Technology Announces Confirmation of Plan of Reorganization LAS VEGAS, Jun 30, 1999 (BUSINESS WIRE via COMTEX) -- Advanced Gaming Technology Inc. (OTC BB:AGTI) today announced that the company's plan of reorganization was confirmed on June 29, 1999 by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in the District of Las Vegas. The company anticipates that the effective date of the plan will be July 29, 1999. The company had filed for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code on Aug. 26, 1998. The firm of Levene, Neale, Bender & Rankin, LLP of Los Angeles represented the company. The plan authorizes the company to issue 25 million shares of new common stock. Approximately 18 million of the new shares will be issued on the effective date. A "disputed claims reserve" of approximately 7 million shares will be established to allow for disputed claims that might subsequently be approved by Final Order of the Court. Unsecured creditors holding allowed claims will be issued 1.88 shares of new common stock for each $1 of allowed claim. Based on current estimates, the company expects shareholders of record on July 29, 1999 to receive 1 share of new common stock in exchange for each 66 shares currently owned. Approximately 115 million shares of the company's common stock are outstanding at this time. The new common stock will continue to trade under the symbol "AGTI" on the OTC Bulletin Board. AGT's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Dan Scott stated: "Management is excited to have completed the difficult reorganization process so that all efforts can now focus on execution of the company's new business strategy." Completion of the reorganization effort gives the company a much stronger balance sheet to support operations. The company expects to continue to pursue markets for its successful electronic bingo products. However, management expects to diversify operations by pursuing projects in the mainstream casino technology markets. A substantial cost reduction program has already been effectively implemented. Advanced Gaming Technology Inc. is located in Las Vegas. Investor relation inquiries should be made to Dan Scott at 702/227-6578.
