Mitec announces share consolidation, anticipated delisting from TSX Venture "NEX" market and distribution

TORONTO, Sept. 23, 2016 /CNW/ - Mitec Technologies Inc. ("Mitec", or the "Corporation") announces that the board of directors has authorized a consolidation of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Corporation (the "Common Shares") on the basis of 1 post-consolidated Common Share for 5.2 million pre-consolidation Common Shares (the "Consolidation") as outlined in the resolution passed by the Corporation at the special and annual meeting which took place on June 6, 2016.   

Initially announced in March, 2016, the Consolidation and a subsequent payment, set at two cents per common share to all post-consolidation fractional shareholders (the "Payment"), was proposed to the Corporation's shareholders as the best strategy to wind up the Corporation's operations as a publicly-traded, listed company as opposed to ultimately wiping out all shareholder value through the associated costs relating to continuing a public company listing. 

Since the Corporation will no longer meet listing requirements post Consolidation, it is anticipated that Mitec's Common Shares will no longer be traded once the Consolidation takes place and that the TSX Venture Exchange will initiate a delisting process in the very near future.

Mitec expects to amend its articles of incorporation which will effect the Consolidation on September 30, 2016 and has arranged with its service providers to make the two cent distribution to its shareholders as soon as possible thereafter.
