Item 3.03 Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders
Special Meeting of Shareholders. At a Special Meeting of the Shareholders of Mercari Communications, Ltd. (the Registrant) held May 29, 2008, the shareholders of Registrant approved the following proposals:
A proposal to adopt a 1 for 3.5 share reverse stock split of outstanding shares of Registrants common stock; and
A proposal to amend the Articles of Incorporation of the Registrant.
Each matter was approved by a vote of 4,970.251 shares in favor and no shares voting against. Before the reverse stock split there were 5,562,897 shares of common stock issued and outstanding.
Reverse Share Split. The reverse share split approved at the Special Meeting includes the following terms:
For each 3.5 shares of common stock owned prior to the reverse stock split a holder shall own one share after the Effective Date of the reverse stock split; provided that
All holders of record who would otherwise own fewer than 100 shares after the Effective Date of the reverse stock split will automatically be rounded up to 100 shares; and further provided that
All fractional shares will be rounded up to the nearest whole share, unless the holder will hold 100 shares as a result of the rounding described in the preceding clause.
The reverse stock split became effective June 2, 2008. In connection with the reverse stock split, the two shareholders holding the largest number of outstanding shares together surrendered a number of shares of common stock for cancellation equal to the total number of shares issued in connection with the rounding up of fractional and other interests as described above.
