Encanto to Implement Share Consolidation
VANCOUVER, May 16, 2018 /CNW/ - Encanto Potash Corp. ("Encanto" or the "Company") (TSXV: EPO) announces that it intends to effect a consolidation of its common shares on the basis of one (1) new common share for every ten (10) common shares outstanding effective as of May 18, 2018.
Encanto currently has 440,817,039 common shares outstanding and, following the share consolidation on a ten (10) to one (1) basis, will have approximately 44,081,704 common shares outstanding. No fractional common shares will be issued and no cash will be paid in lieu of fractional post-consolidation common shares but the number of common shares to be received by a shareholder will be rounded down to the nearest whole common share in the event that such shareholder would otherwise be entitled to receive a fractional common share.
A letter of transmittal will be sent by mail to shareholders advising that the share consolidation has taken effect and instructing shareholders to surrender the certificates evidencing their common shares for replacement certificates representing the number of common shares to which they are entitled as a result of the consolidation. Until surrendered, each certificate will be deemed for all purposes to represent the number of common shares to which the holder thereof is entitled as a result of the consolidation.
