Hydrogenics Announces Share Consolidation
Hydrogenics Corporation (Nasdaq:HYGS) (TSX:HYG) ("Hydrogenics") a leading developer and manufacturer of hydrogen generation and fuel cell products, today announced that it will implement a share consolidation of its issued and outstanding common shares in order to comply with the Minimum Bid Price Rule of the Nasdaq Global Market ("NASDAQ"). The consolidation will be effective as of March 12, 2010, and will be implemented with a ratio of one post-consolidation share for every 25 pre-consolidation shares.
"With an interest in preserving the liquidity for our investors that is offered by the NASDAQ Global Market, we wanted to take this step now to ensure continued participation on this highly visible, prestigious exchange," said Daryl Wilson, Hydrogenics President and CEO. "The share consolidation will also provide the means for a broader base of institutional investors – specifically, those with minimum price criteria – to consider taking a position in the company."
Subject to regulatory approval, Hydrogenics' common shares, listed on the NASDAQ and the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX"), will begin trading on a consolidated basis when the NASDAQ and TSX open on March 12, 2010. The consolidation will reduce the number of shares outstanding from approximately 105,049,666 to approximately 4,201,987.
Registered shareholders of Hydrogenics will receive instructions by mail on how to obtain a new share certificate representing their consolidated common shares. No fractional shares will be issued as a result of the consolidation. If the consolidation results in a registered shareholder having a fractional interest of less than a whole share, such fractional interest will be rounded down to the nearest whole number. Hydrogenics shares held through a broker, bank, trust company, nominee or other financial intermediary will be adjusted by that firm.
