HOUSTON, April 04, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Civeo Corporation (NYSE:CVEO) today announced that on April 1, 2016, it had been notified by the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) that the Company has regained compliance with the NYSE's continued listing standards.
On February 24, 2016, the Company received notification from the NYSE that the Company had fallen below the continued listing standard to maintain a minimum average closing price of $1.00 per share over 30 consecutive trading days. Civeo regained compliance after its price for the 30 trading days ended March 31, 2016 and its closing price on March 31, 2016 both exceeded $1.00 per share.
In the preliminary proxy statement filed on March 30, 2016, Civeo disclosed that it will be asking its shareholders at the Company's 2016 annual and special general meeting of shareholders on May 12, 2016 to approve, among other things, a consolidation
or reverse share split of the issued and outstanding common shares of Civeo, whereby, at the sole discretion of the Company's board of directors, the outstanding common shares would be combined, converted and changed into a lesser number of common shares at a ratio to be selected by the board of directors in the range of 1:4 to 1:15, and related amendments to Civeo's Notice of Articles and Articles to effect a proportional reduction in the number of authorized common shares based on the selected reverse share split ratio, effective upon implementation of the reverse share split. The proposed consolidation or reverse stock split would affect all shareholders uniformly and would not affect any shareholder's ownership percentage, except for treatment of fractional shares.
The
Civeo board of directors may elect to defer any decision on whether or not to effect a consolidation or reverse stock split. Shareholders are encouraged to read the definitive proxy materials (when available) in their entirety as they will provide a detailed discussion of the proposals.
