PORTLAND, Ore., July 13, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Schmitt Industries,
Inc. (NASDAQ: SMIT) (the "Company" or "Schmitt") announced today
that Schmitt's Board of Directors (the "Board") has unanimously
passed a resolution for Schmitt to remain listed on the NASDAQ
market.
In conjunction with the acquisition of the assets of Ample Hills
Creamery, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, "Ample Hills"),
and in consideration for a potential SEC rule that would make
delisted companies highly illiquid, the Board has announced that it
will remain listed on the NASDAQ markets.
To provide shareholders additional time to make an informed
decision on the announced tender offer, the Board has approved an
extension of the tender offer to July 20,
2020.
"We are thrilled with the Ample Hills acquisition as it is in
line with our goal of identifying unique investment opportunities
that will create shareholder value," said Michael Zapata, Schmitt's Chief Executive
Officer and Chairman. "The Board has carefully evaluated all
options and, although we are shifting our listing intentions, we
believe remaining listed is the right decision and will benefit our
shareholders in the long run."
Schmitt will provide a strategic update on Ample Hills in the
coming months as we work with the team to relaunch and reopen Ample
Hills.
