Item 8.01. Other Events.

 

Reverse Stock Split

 

Western Capital Resources, Inc. anticipates effecting a reverse stock split on 1-for-20 basis after the close of trading on Friday, June 20, 2014. In such a case, Western Capital common stock will begin trading on a split-adjusted basis upon the opening of trading on Monday, June 23, 2014.

 

Earlier this month, the Board of Directors of Western Capital approved the reverse stock split. When the reverse stock split becomes effective, every 20 shares of issued Western Capital common stock will be automatically combined into one share of common stock. This will reduce the number of issued and outstanding shares of Western Capital common stock to approximately 3.0 million shares. The reverse stock split will similarly reduce by a factor of 20 the authorized number of shares of capital stock that the Company may issue.

 

Upon effectiveness of the reverse stock split, the common stock will trade under a new CUSIP number (957881 20 4). Corporate Stock Transfer will act as the company’s exchange agent in connection with the reverse stock split, and stockholders of record will receive the notices, forms and instructions regarding the exchange of their pre-split shares for post-split shares either directly from Corporate Stock Transfer or through or from their broker. The company anticipates that no fractional shares will be issued in connection with the reverse stock split, and that stockholders who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fractional share of common stock will be entitled to receive a cash payment in lieu thereof.

 

Acquisition Opportunities

 

Western Capital also announced that it is actively seeking opportunities to acquire businesses that may augment or may be complementary to its current payday lending and Cricket sales business. As of the date of this report, however, the company has not entered into any binding commitments to acquire any other business or businesses.
