We will have to see whether this kind of technical leadership converts into swift mass-market adoption or not.
Selectica (NASDAQ:SLTC), a leading provider of contract lifecycle
management and sales configuration solutions, today announced that its
Board of Directors has approved a one-for-twenty reverse stock split of
Selectica common stock. The company anticipates the reverse stock split
will be effective on or about February 24, 2010. Implementing the
reverse stock split is intended to bring the company in compliance with
NASDAQ Listing Rules related to the minimum trading price of the
company’s common stock.
When the reverse stock split becomes effective, every 20 shares of
issued and outstanding Selectica common stock will automatically be
reclassified into one share of common stock. This will not impact each
stockholder’s percentage ownership of the company or proportional voting
power, except for minimal changes resulting from the treatment of
fractional shares. Following the reverse split, the number of
outstanding shares of the company's common stock will be reduced to
approximately 2.8 million.
No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the reverse stock
split. Following the completion of the reverse stock split, the
company’s transfer agent will aggregate all of the fractional shares
that otherwise would have been issued as a result of the reverse stock
split and sell those shares. Stockholders who would otherwise hold a
fractional share of the company's common stock will receive a cash
payment in lieu of such fractional share equal to their pro rata share
of the proceeds received by the transfer agent from such sale.
