Sino Agro Food, Inc. Effects Reverse Split
December 16, 2014
GUANGZHOU, China-- Sino Agro Food, Inc. (OTCQB: SIAF.QB) is an integrated, diversified agriculture technology and organic food company (the “Company”) with principal operations as primary producer, processor, and marketer in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”).
The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) approved a reverse split for Sino Agro Food, Inc.’s common stock, effective for trading purposes as of the commencement of trading today, December 16, 2014. The reverse split ratio is 1 to 9.90. The authorized shares of common stock have been reduced by the same ratio. Any fractional shares will be paid out in cash.
The split will mean a proportionate decrease in the number of SIAF shares, but not the total value of shares held by the shareholders. Shareholders maintain the same percentage equity in the Company as before the split.
The reasons for this action are to:
| · | Avoid SIAF shares being classified as a penny stock, |
| · | Satisfy one of the listing requirements of any U.S. main board stock exchange, |
| · | Attract investors, particularly institutional shareholders, and |
| · | Enable Swedish brokers to accommodate trading of SIAF shares. |
The Company’s shares will trade under the symbol SIAFD, with the “D” for a period of 20 business days.
