MOORESVILLE, N.C., March 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Anpath Group, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board : ANPG), reported today that it plans to seek shareholder approval for a reverse split of its Common Stock, which it currently anticipates will be in the range of a 1 for 7 split. If the reverse stock split is approved, each holder of Anpath's Common Stock on the date of effectiveness of the reverse stock split will be entitled to receive one share of new Common Stock in exchange for every seven shares of old Common Stock held by such person. The reverse stock split will be affected by filing a Certificate of Amendment with the Secretary of State of Delaware.
President & CEO of Anpath Group, Inc., J. Lloyd Breedlove stated, "We believe that reducing the number of outstanding shares will make our capital structure more attractive to potential investors and provide us with greater flexibility in structuring financing and pursuing other corporate development opportunities. Also, we believe that a reduction in the number of outstanding shares may make our business more attractive to potential merger, joint venture and acquisition candidates."
"Further, we believe that our current low stock price negatively affects the marketability of our Common Stock and our ability to raise additional capital," Mr. Breedlove continued. "Although we cannot guarantee it, we hope that the reverse split will result in an increase in the market price of our common stock and encourage interest in our stock and possibly promote greater liquidity for our shareholders."
