U.S. Rare Earth Minerals, Inc. Announces Reverse Stock Split

PANACA, Nev., Aug. 13, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- U.S. Rare Earth Minerals, Inc. (OTCQB: USMN) announced today that the Board of Directors has voted to approve a one for fifty, reverse split of its common stock effective August 27, 2018.

Due to a Shareholder Written Consent Action, the Board determined that it was in the best interests of the Company to reverse split the common stock of the Company on a one (1) for thirty (30) basis because the Company’s stock is currently quoted $0.03 (Bid) and $0.04 (Offer) affording little or no liquidity for the shareholders.  It is the belief of the Board that the reverse split will cause the Bid and Offer prices to increase, creating the possibility for the stock to trade at more reasonable prices and a more reasonable spread between the Bid and Offer prices. 

The Company is currently authorized to issue 300,000,000 shares of Common Stock.  As a result of the one (1) for thirty (30) reverse stock split, the authorized shares will not change.  As of August 1, 2018, there were 111,336,350 shares of Common Stock outstanding.  As a result of the reverse stock split, there will be approximately 3,711,211 shares of Common Stock outstanding (subject to adjustment due to the effect of rounding fractional shares into whole shares). The reverse stock split will not have any effect on the stated par value of the Common Stock. As of August 1, 2018, there were 440,500 outstanding shares of the Company’s Preferred Stock. After the Reverse Stock Split, the Company’s outstanding shares of preferred stock will be 14,683 and the authorized preferred stock of 50,000,000 shares will remain unchanged. The Reverse Stock Split will not have any effect on the stated par value of the Preferred Stock.
