India Globalization Capital Announces the Extension of Warrants’ Expiry Date
BETHESDA, MD--(Marketwire – February 24, 2011) - India Globalization Capital, Inc. (NYSE Amex: IGC), a company competing in the rapidly growing materials and infrastructure industry, today announced the extension of the expiration date for 11,855,122 outstanding warrants listed on the NYSE Amex exchange with ticker symbol IGC.WT and CUSIP number (45408X118).
The warrants have an exercise price of $5.00 and were scheduled to expire on March 3, 2011. The expiration date of the warrants has been extended from 5:00 p.m. New York time on March 3, 2011 until 5:00 p.m. New York time on Friday, March 8, 2013. As was the case prior to the extension, the warrants are subject to earlier expiration if the Company exercises its right to call the warrants for redemption. All other terms remain the same.
The Company expects to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission to register the shares underlining the warrants to permit the exercise of the warrants. Currently, the Company does not have such a registration statement effective. Holders of the warrants will be able to exercise the warrants for cash only if such a registration statement is then effective. This communication shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of the shares underlying the warrants in any state in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state.
