Dollar Financial Corp Announces 3-for-2 Stock Split
January 10 2011 - 8:00AM
Business Wire
Dollar Financial Corp (NASDAQ:DLLR), a leading international
diversified financial services company serving primarily unbanked
and under-banked consumers for over 30 years, today announced that
it had approved a three-for-two split of its common stock. The
stock split will be accomplished through a stock dividend issued by
the Company. The Board of Directors authorized the stock split
principally to obtain wider distribution and greater liquidity for
the Company’s common stock.
Stockholders of record as of the close of business on January
20, 2011 will be issued one-half additional share for each share of
common stock held on the record date. It is expected that these
additional shares will be distributed on February 4, 2011. The
stock split will increase the number of shares of common stock
outstanding from approximately 24.4 million shares to approximately
36.6 million shares.
No fractional shares will be issued as a result of the stock
split. Instead, beneficial stockholders who otherwise would be
entitled to receive a fractional share because they hold a number
of shares not evenly divisible by one-half will receive an
additional one-half share of common stock because each fractional
share will be rounded up to the nearest whole share.
