TORONTO, March 19 /CNW/ - The Board of Directors of Odyssey Resources Limited (TSX-V: ODX) ("Odyssey" or the "Company") announced today a proposal to consolidate the Common Shares of the Company on a ten-for-one basis (the "Consolidation"). The proposal will be put forward for approval by special resolution of the shareholders at the Company's Special Meeting of Shareholders to be held on April 25, 2008.
There are currently approximately 86.8 million Common Shares outstanding. If approved, the Consolidation will reduce the number of Common Shares outstanding to approximately 8.68 million Common Shares. The proposed Consolidation will result in shareholders owning fewer Common Shares, but at an expected higher share price denomination. The Consolidation is subject to approval by the shareholders of the Company and the TSX Venture Exchange.
Odyssey believes that a reduced number of Common Shares will have numerous
benefits, including:
- Allowing for a better assessment of the value of the Company thus
facilitating future financings,
- Broadening the base of potential institutional shareholders, and
- Allowing for more meaningful reporting of financial results on a per
share basis.
Further information regarding the proposed Consolidation will be available in the Company's Management Information Circular dated March 17, 2008 which will be mailed to shareholders on or about March 25, 2008.
The Management Information Circular also provides information regarding a proposal to continue the Company under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario). The Company is currently governed by the Companies Act of Barbados. It is expected that the Consolidation will occur after the continuance.
