Adam Barnett, Chairman and President of OMDA Oil and Gas, Inc.
(PINKSHEETS: OOAG), announces that the company has canceled all
existing preferred shares of stock in OMDA Oil and Gas, Inc.
Initially these preferred shares were created and issued to Adam
Barnett in order to protect the company and its shareholders
against the possibility of a hostile takeover. While OMDA was
engaged in its recently resolved, lengthy legal battle, it
experienced a significant drop in market capitalization over a
prolonged period of time. The depressed stock price put OMDA in a
position of vulnerability to a hostile takeover which may have
jeopardized the company's standing in its lawsuit at that time.
Under advice of legal counsel, the company issued preferred shares
with special voting rights to its Chairman Adam Barnett, so as to
protect the interests of the shareholders. With the company's
lawsuit now resolved, Mr. Barnett and the board of directors have
unanimously agreed to and signed a resolution to cancel all
preferred shares. With this transaction completed OMDA no longer
has any preferred shares issued and will no longer retain majority
control of the company. Consequently OMDA will now require proxy
decisions from its shareholders in order to carry out any major
changes to the stock structure including issuance of shares, stock
splits, and raising the authorized shares among other actions. The
previously announced decision to lower OMDA's authorized share
total down to 250 million has already been board approved, signed
and is being filed before the weekend.
"As president of OMDA, the biggest responsibility I have is to
increase shareholder value," said Adam Barnett. "Our shareholders
have stuck with us through many tough and challenging years while
the share price was down. Now with the lawsuit behind us I have
taken several measures including cancelling these preferred shares
in order to instill confidence in our existing and prospective
shareholders." Mr. Barnett continued, "Management has no intentions
of any future stock issuances of any kind, reverse splits, raising
the authorized shares or anything else that could adversely affect
the company. That being said, those actions would only be possible
with a majority vote from all of our stockholders of record. If the
vote from our thousands of shareholders on any voted on issue came
back 'no' then it would not and could not be done. We wanted to
make a bold statement to our shareholders and send a clear message.
By relinquishing majority control, management cannot take any share
structure changing actions without the consent of a majority of our
shareholders via proxy."
OMDA is also announcing that it expects to provide a thorough
update on the Concord Dome project sometime next week.
"We are in the final stages of putting together a detailed
report on Concord Dome. This project is very important to OMDA and
we expect it will be a significant revenue stream for our company.
I look forward to releasing this update in the very near future and
to discuss the Concord Dome project with much more detail," stated
Adam Barnett.
