BF Enterprises, Inc. Announces Consummation of Reverse/Forward Stock Split and Going Private Transaction
August 30 2005 - 6:00AM
Business Wire
BF Enterprises, Inc. (NASDAQ:BFEN) (the "Company") announced today
that it has filed (a) a Certificate of Amendment to its Restated
Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the
State of Delaware to consummate a 1-for-3,000 reverse split of the
Company's common stock (the "Reverse Stock Split") and (b) a
Certificate of Amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation with
the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to consummate a
3,000-for-1 forward stock split following the Reverse Stock Split
(the "Forward Stock Split," and with the Reverse Stock Split, the
"Reverse/Forward Stock Split"). The Reverse Stock Split took effect
at 6:00 p.m. (Eastern Daylight Time) yesterday, August 29, 2005.
The Forward Stock Split took effect at 6:01 p.m. (Eastern Daylight
Time) yesterday, August 29, 2005. In conjunction with the
Reverse/Forward Stock Split, the Company intends to deregister its
common stock under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
(the "Exchange Act"), thereby effecting the going private
transaction. Stockholders owning fewer than 3,000 shares of the
Company's common stock prior to 6:00 p.m. (Eastern Daylight Time)
on August 29, 2005, the effective time of the Reverse Stock Split,
did not participate in the Forward Stock Split and have the right
to receive cash at a price of $8.95 per share owned by such
stockholders prior to the Reverse Stock Split. Stockholders owning
3,000 or more shares of the Company's common stock prior to the
Reverse Stock Split participated in the Forward Stock Split and
therefore continue to own the same number of shares of the
Company's common stock immediately after the consummation of the
Reverse/Forward Stock Split as they did immediately before the
transaction. Stockholders who are to be cashed out as a result of
the Reverse/Forward Stock Split will be notified by the Company's
transfer agent, Register & Transfer Company, and receive
instructions regarding the exchange of their stock certificates for
cash. Based on information available to the Company, the number of
holders of record of the Company's common stock has been reduced to
fewer than 300 as a result of the Reverse/Forward Stock Split, and
the Company intends to file a Form 15 with the Securities and
Exchange Commission today (the "SEC") in order to terminate the
registration of its common stock under the Exchange Act. Upon the
filing of the Form 15, in the absence of action by the SEC, the
Company will no longer be required to file periodic reports with
the SEC, including annual reports on Form 10-KSB and quarterly
reports on Form 10-QSB, and will no longer be subject to the SEC's
proxy rules. In addition, the Company has sent a letter to the
Nasdaq National Market requesting that the Company's common stock
be delisted from the Nasdaq National Market System prior to the
opening of the market on August 30, 2005. About BF Enterprises,
