NEW YORK - (Business Wire) SpongeTech® Delivery Systems, Inc., “The Smarter Sponge™”, (OTCBB: SPNG) is pleased to announce that the Company is taking action to amend its Articles of Incorporation to reduce the number of common shares that the Company has authorized to 900,000,000 (nine hundred million) shares. In addition, the Company has also begun the process to lower its outstanding shares to approximately 500,000,000 (five hundred million) shares. As reported in the Company's 8-K filing on May 26, 2009, SpongeTech® amended its Certificate of Incorporation to increase its authorized common shares from 1,800,000,000 (one billion, eight hundred million) to 2,000,000,000 (two billion). The increase was to provide the Company with the ability to pursue a transaction such as the acquisition of Dicon Technologies. Subsequently, the Board of Directors had approved the acquisition of Dicon Technologies which was completed on July 9, 2009 as a cash transaction, without any shares to be issued for the acquisition and without any dilution to its current shareholders; therefore enabling the Company to take action and reduce the authorized shares substantially. Furthermore, as reported in the Company's 3rd Quarter Form 10-Q filing on April 20, 2009, SpongeTech® had 722,866,061 shares of common stock issued and outstanding and the Company is also taking action to lower its outstanding shares by 30%. The Company's actions in this regards will include the continuation of the common stock repurchase and retirement program from the open market as well as the retiring of restricted (144R) shares of common stock currently owned by the Company and its affiliates.
"We are excited to be moving quickly to complete the process of reducing both our authorized and outstanding shares as well as provide clarity," commented Michael Metter, CEO of SpongeTech®. "This significant reduction is an expression of both the progress that the Company and its innovative product lines have made to date. We are confident that there will be more advances to come in the near future with regards to our product development and penetration of what we fell is currently a targeted market that is extremely large, yet grossly underserved." Metter continues, "I have always commented that it is SpongeTech®'s commitment to shareholders to gain their trust through transparency, progress and hard work. It always has been and always will be our goal to constantly build on our shareholders confidence."
"The reduction of the Company's authorized shares is being done to assure our shareholders that we are careful and prudent with the issuance of our stock," stated SpongeTech®’s COO Steven Moskowitz. "The significant reduction in both the authorized as well as outstanding share structure will serve to further enhance our overall earnings per share and make our stock more attractive to own for both current as well as prospective investors."
