UPLAND, CA — (Marketwire) — 01/25/12 — Sustainable Environmental Technologies () (OTCQB: SETS) (OTCQB: SETSD) (PINKSHEETS: SETS) (PINKSHEETS: SETSD) today announced that its one-for-15 reverse stock split will become effective January 25, 2012. The purpose of the reverse stock split is to raise the trading share price of SET Corp–s common stock to improve liquidity for shareholders by attracting interest from a larger base of institutional investors and investment funds, and to give shareholders greater ability to place SET Corp shares with stockbrokers of their choice.
“SET Corp is making a strategic effort to increase shareholder value in multiple areas,” said Bob Glaser, SET Corp CEO. “As we expand our saltwater disposal (SWD) well facilities into the Bakken Shale, the reverse split will decrease our number of outstanding shares, increase our share price and bring it closer to the point where it is marginable. This makes for a more attractive investment option to a larger portion of the financial community, thus improving liquidity. It is our desire to eventually move onto one of the listed exchanges and this brings us one step closer to realizing that goal.”
For 20 days beginning January 25, 2012, FINRA will append a letter “D” suffix to SET Corp–s ticker symbol (OTCQB: SETSD) to indicate the completion of the reverse split. After that period, the ticker will revert to “SETS.”
Beginning January 25, 2012, every 15 shares of SET Corp–s pre-split common stock will automatically be converted into one share of post-split common stock. Par value of $0.001 per share will remain unchanged. Shareholders with stock deposited in a brokerage account do not need to take any action, as the conversion will be automatic. Holders of paper stock certificate do not need to take any action, as certificates will automatically be converted to the post-split number of shares when deposited into a brokerage account or exchanged through the transfer agent. However, for any shareholder who desires to exchange their paper pre-split certificate(s) for a paper post-split certificate(s), please contact Computershare at 1-800-962-4284.
