GlobalWise Investments, Inc. / Intellinetics, Inc. Announces Name Change and Reverse Stock Split
COLUMBUS, OH – (September 3, 2014) – Intellinetics, Inc. (OTCQB: INLX), formerly called GlobalWise Investments, Inc., a leading-edge technology company focused on the design, implementation and management of cloud-based Enterprise Content Management systems in both the public and private sectors, announced the implementation of two corporate actions: a name change to “Intellinetics, Inc.” and a reverse stock split in the ratio of 7-to-1.
Name Change
Previously approved by the shareholders at the August 6, 2014 shareholder meeting, the Company’s change of name to Intellinetics, Inc. was made effective by the Nevada Secretary of State on September 1, and reflected by the OTCQB on September 3, 2014. The Company believes the name Intellinetics, Inc. more accurately reflects the Company's current business and aligns its corporate name with the Company's sole operating subsidiary, Intellinetics, Inc, an Ohio corporation.
Anticipating the corporate name change, the Company’s shares began trading under its new OTCQB stock symbol, INLX, on August 1, 2014.
Reverse Stock Split
Also approved by the shareholders at the August 6, 2014 shareholder meeting, the Company’s reverse stock split in the ratio of 7-to-1 was made effective by the Nevada Secretary of State on September 1, and reflected by the OTCQB on September 3, 2014. The Company implemented the reverse split to improve the liquidity and marketability of the Company's common stock, and to better respond to potential future opportunities to raise capital, based upon future developments in the business affairs of the Company, the market and the economy.
Positioning Company for Long-Term Growth and Profitability
“Shareholder support and approval for these important, coordinated components represent an important milestone in our strategy to focus on revenue growth,” said Matthew L. Chretien, President and CEO. “We have two new dedicated National Channel Managers focused on partner recruitment, on-boarding and revenue production. We expect to start to see new partners from their efforts in early Q4 and beyond.
“The company name and stock symbol change will help us to increase Intellinetics’ brand awareness in the market. It brings the added benefit of a name associated with a 20-year track record of delivering mission-critical document solutions into the public safety market and beyond. This credibility is a key catalyst to attracting profiled distribution partners for our IntelliCloudTM solutions into our channel network. I am excited to move forward in the wake of these important changes,” concluded Chretien.
