Forward Stock Split
On November 17, 2015, the Board of Directors of Aureus Incorporated, a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), authorized a fifteen-for-one (15:1) forward stock split (the “Forward Split”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), issued and outstanding as of 5:00 pm (Eastern Time) on November 24, 2015 (the “Record Date”), without changing the authorized number or par value of the Common Stock and with fractional shares resulting from the Forward Split being rounded up to the nearest whole number. The Forward Split became effective on November 25, 2015 (the “Effective Date”) and payable upon surrender of existing stock certificates to the Company’s stock transfer agent, Action Stock Transfer (www.actionstocktransfer.com).
As a result of the Forward Split, the number of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock was increased from 8,430,000 to 126,450,000. Also in conjunction with the Forward Split, a new CUSIP number has been assigned to the Company’s Common Stock. The new CUSIP number is 05154M203 and became effective on the Effective Date.
On November 24, 2015, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) approved the Forward Split. A “D” will be appended to the trading symbol of the Company’s Common Stock (ARSN) for 20 business days commencing on the Effective Date. After 20 business days from the Effective Date, the trading symbol of the Company’s Common Stock will revert back to ARSN.
