Section 8 - Other Events

 

Item 8.01 Other Events

 

On October 16, 2013, we announced a 1-for-20 reverse split of our common stock effective as of 4:30 pm. EDT on October 16, 2013.

 

The reverse split will combine and convert every twenty shares of Seven Arts’ outstanding common stock into one share of new common stock. Resulting fractional shares will round up to the next whole share. This will enable Seven Arts to continue its long-standing debt reduction program through the conversion of certain debt into equity.

 

Approximately 10,963,812 outstanding shares of common stock are expected after completion of the reverse split, and will trade under the new CUSIP number 81783N409 and under the trading symbol “SAPXD” and will revert to the historic trading symbol of “SAPX” after twenty trading days.

 

In connection with the reverse split, Seven Arts reduced the number of authorized shares of its common stock using the same 1-for-20 ratio. However, the number of authorized shares of its capital stock did not change. The Board of Directors then designated the resulting shares of Seven Arts’ unallocated capital stock as authorized common stock, which resulted in an aggregate of 249 million authorized shares of common stock.

 

 

Prior to the reverse split and common stock allocation, Seven Arts did not have sufficient unissued and unreserved shares of common stock to continue its debt reduction program.

 

A press release dated October 16, 2013, that announced the corporate actions is furnished as Exhibit 99.1.
