Astron Connect Inc. to Complete Share Consolidation
VANCOUVER, BC – TheNewswire - April 28, 2021 - Astron Connect Inc (“Astron” or the “Company”) (TSXV:AST) today announced that it intends to complete a consolidation of its issued and outstanding common shares (the “Shares”) on the basis of one (1) new Share for every eight (8) currently held Shares (the “Consolidation”). Completion of the Consolidation remains subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSXV”).
Pursuant to the Articles of the Company, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Company has approved the Consolidation by way of a Board resolution. The Board believes the Consolidation will enable to the Company to gain increased liquidity and trading volume and broaden the Company’s investor base.
Upon receipt of TSXV approval of the Consolidation, Astron will provide additional details regarding a new CUSIP number for its Shares to distinguish between the pre- and post-consolidated Shares. Astron's name and trading symbol will remain unchanged. Following the completion of the Consolidation, the Company will have approximately 10,437,901 Shares issued and outstanding.
Upon completion of the Consolidation, letters of transmittal describing the details of the Consolidation and the process by which registered shareholders obtain actual share certificates representing the consolidated Shares will be mailed to Astron's registered shareholders. Shareholders who hold their Shares through their broker or other intermediary will not be required to complete and return a letter of transmittal; any pre-consolidation Shares owned by such shareholders will automatically be adjusted as a result of the Consolidation to reflect the applicable number of post-consolidation Shares owned by them. Non-registered shareholders wishing to obtain a copy of the letter of transmittal should contact their brokers or other intermediary, or Astron's transfer agent, TSX Trust Company, after the Consolidation has been implemented.
