Advanced Engine Technologies Announces 1-for-20 Reverse Stock Split
31 July 2010 - 8:44AM
Business Wire
The common stock shares of Advanced Engine Technologies, Inc.
(Pink Sheets: AENG) have been reverse split 1-for-20. The
announcement was made following the recent approval of the proposed
reverse stock split by current shareholders.
“We believe the reverse stock split will facilitate long term
growth and increase shareholder value,” said AET Chief Operating
Officer, John Luft. “The goal was to provide AET with the treasury
stock needed to raise additional capital in the public and private
sectors to complete development and subsequent commercialization of
the OX2 engine.”
As of the reverse stock split, over 43,000,000 shares or options
to purchase shares had been issued out of the 50,000,000 shares
authorized by AET’s Articles of Incorporation. This left AET with
an insufficient number of treasury shares available to the company
to issue so as to raise working capital.
AET shareholders will receive one new share of AET common stock
for every twenty shares held with fractional shares being rounded
up. The reverse split, which was approved by AET shareholders on
July 23, 2010, will reduce the number of shares of outstanding
common stock from approximately, 33,885,000 shares as of Nov. 11,
2009, to approximately 1,694,250 shares, based upon a reverse stock
split ratio of 1-for-20. Rights to exercise previously granted, but
not yet exercised, stock options will also be adjusted based upon
the 1-for-20 ratio.
The OX2 is a 4-stroke, 1.1-liter internal combustion engine that
weighs 75 percent less than and is half the size of traditional
internal combustion engines. It can run on a variety of fossil
fuels including gasoline, diesel, natural gas and liquid propane
gas. With its expected higher power-to-weight ratio, multi-fuel
capacity and anticipated low emissions and fuel efficiency, the OX2
has a practical application in the commercial and industrial
generator markets. Additional future applications may include
marine, light-duty farm and construction equipment, light aircraft
and hybrid electric vehicles.
Inquires by investors or anyone interested in the progress of
the OX2 engine can be directed to the company at (310) 914-9599.
