TORONTO, Dec. 9 /CNW/ --
TORONTO, Dec. 9 /CNW/ - Further to its news releases dated October 21
and December 1, 2010, Norwall Group Inc. (TSX Venture: NGI) ("Norwall"
or the "Company") announced today that it has completed its going
private transaction by way of a share consolidation (the
"Consolidation") on the basis of one post-Consolidation common share
for every 3,739,155 common shares held immediately prior to the
Consolidation.
Patton Wallcoverings, LLC, a Florida limited liability company
wholly-owned and controlled, directly or indirectly, by James J.
Patton, Norwall President and CEO, and Bruce Mitchell, a former control
block shareholder of Norwall, is now the sole remaining Norwall
shareholder holding at least one whole common share.
Shareholders who held fractional shares upon completion of the
Consolidation (collectively, "Minority Shareholders") will receive a
cash payment of $0.93 per pre-Consolidation common share on account of
such fractional shares.
The Consolidation was duly approved by shareholders at a special meeting
held on December 3, 2010, and articles of amendment effecting the
Consolidation were filed on December 8, 2010.
Concurrent with the completion of the Consolidation, Norwall has applied
to the TSX Venture Exchange for permission to delist its common shares.
The delisting is anticipated to take effect in the coming days. Norwall
is also filing applications with the relevant provincial securities
commissions to cease to be a reporting issuer.
Also, further to its press release of December 1, 2010, Norwall wishes
to announce that the motion brought against Norwall, Patton
Wallcoverings, Inc., Patton Wallcoverings, LLC and James J. Patton,
Norwall's Chairman, President and C.E.O. alleging, among other things,
that Norwall breached the terms of exclusive distribution contracts
purportedly entered into between Norwall and certain of its
distributors (the "Plaintiffs") and requesting injunctive relief, was
dismissed in its entirety by the Ontario Superior Court of Justice.
Norwall believes that all of the allegations made by the Plaintiffs are
without merit and will continue to vigorously defend the action.
