Ondine Announces Proposed Share Consolidation and Name Change
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Sept. 29, 2010) - Ondine Biopharma Corporation (TSX:OBP)(AIM:OBP) ("Ondine"
or the "Company") today announced its intention to consolidate its issued and outstanding common shares and to change
its name to Ondine Biomedical Inc., to more accurately reflect the nature of its operations. The Company does not
anticipate changing its trading symbol.
Under the proposed consolidation, every fifteen (15) existing shares will be consolidated into one (1) new share (the
"Consolidation"). The Company currently has 126,796,145 common shares issued and outstanding. Upon completion following
receipt of regulatory approvals, Ondine would have approximately 8,453,042 common shares issued and outstanding, after
adjusting for fractional shares. Fractional shares remaining after giving effect to the Consolidation will be cancelled,
such that shareholdings of each shareholder will be rounded down to the nearest whole number of post-consolidation
common shares. Outstanding stock options and warrants will similarly be adjusted by the Consolidation ratio.
In accordance with the articles of the Company, which were approved by the shareholders, the Board of Directors has the
authority to effect the name change and the share consolidation by directors' resolution and the Company does not intend
to seek shareholder approval for these changes. The Consolidation and name change are subject to the approval of the
Toronto Stock Exchange. If the Consolidation proceeds, the Company will issue a subsequent news release indicating the
record date of the Consolidation and the date on which the Company's shares will commence trading on a post
consolidation basis.
Management believes that consolidating the Company's issued common share capital would be in the best interests of the
Company. In the opinion of Management, the share consolidation will improve the ability of the Company to attract
additional equity financing necessary to continue with its existing business, the development and commercialization of
photodisinfection products for the medical market.
