PETRO-VICTORY ANNOUNCES PROPOSED SHARE CONSOLIDATION
Calgary, AB – January 23, 2020/CNW/ – Petro-Victory Energy Corp. (“Petro-Victory” or the “Company”) (TSX-V: VRY) announced today that the Board of Directors has unanimously approved a consolidation of its share capital on the basis of one (1) new common share for every existing forty (40) common shares (the “Consolidation”), subject to regulatory approval, including approval of the TSX Venture Exchange. Effective on or about January 27, 2020, Petro-Victory will complete the Consolidation. Where the exchange results in a fractional share, the number of common shares will be rounded up to the nearest whole common share. The Board of Directors believes that the Consolidation should enhance the marketability of the common share as an investment and should facilitate additional financings to fund operations in the future. Shareholder approval of the Consolidation was obtained at the annual general and special shareholders meeting held on November 21, 2019. A new CUSIP number of G7041T139 replaces the old CUSIP number of G7041T105, to distinguish between the pre- and post- consolidated shares. The Company’s name and trading symbol will remain unchanged.
Commencing at the opening of trading on or about January 27, 2020, the common shares of the Company will trade on a post-Consolidation basis on the TSX Venture Exchange. Following the Consolidation, there are expected to be 6,783,977 Class A common shares and 2,388,375 Class B common shares post-Consolidation shares outstanding.
