Item 8.01 Other Events
On October 29, 2015, the Board of Directors (the “Directors”) of Earth Search Sciences, Inc. (the “Company”) unanimously voted to approve a Reverse Stock Split of the common stock of the Company whereby each 41 shares of common stock outstanding as of the effective date would be converted into 1 whole share of common stock (the “Transaction”).
The primary purpose of the Transaction was to reduce the number of record holders of the Company’s common stock to fewer than 300, thereby allowing the Company to terminate the registration of the Common Stock under Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and suspend its reporting obligations under Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act.
Under Nevada law, the Transaction was structured so that the Company could consummate the Reverse Stock Split without the need to obtain stockholder approval. Therefore, the Company was not seeking stockholder approval for these actions, and no vote was sought in connection with such actions.
Although the Board approved the Reverse Stock Split and subsequent termination of registration of the Common Stock and suspension of the Company’s duty to file periodic reports and other information with the SEC under the Exchange Act, the Board reserved the right to abandon, postpone or modify the foregoing for any reason, at any time before they were consummated.
The Transaction was a “going private” transaction under Section 13(e) of the Exchange Act and the Company filed a Schedule 13E-3 with the SEC that contained additional information about the Transaction. The Schedule 13E-3 is available at www.sec.gov. The Company also released a press release announcing the filing of the Schedule 13E-3. A copy of the press release is included in the Exhibits to this document.
Pursuant to its reserved right to abandon the transaction, the Board, after deeming it advisable to facilitate future financing of the Company and its affiliates and generally in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders to do so, unanimously voted and resolved on May 25, 2017 to abandon the “going private” transaction and all associated action approved in the October 29, 2015 Resolution of the Directors.
