LAS VEGAS, Dec. 09, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Live Ventures Incorporated (Nasdaq:LIVE) (“Live Ventures” or the “Company”), a diversified holding company, announces today that it has completed its 1-for-6 reverse split of its outstanding common stock.

As previously stated, one primary purpose of the reverse split was to broaden the appeal of the Company’s stock to include institutional investors following the closing of the Company’s second major acquisition in the past 18 months.  Management continues to believe the Company’s stock is undervalued and the Company continues to repurchase its shares in the market.

Further, the reverse split was not undertaken to facilitate any financing transactions nor for NASDAQ compliance reasons, as the Company is in full compliance with all relevant NASDAQ standards.

As a result of the reverse stock split, every six shares of the Company’s pre-reverse split common stock was combined and reclassified into one share of common stock.  Further, the reverse stock split does not affect proportionate voting rights and other rights of common stockholders.  Stockholders who would otherwise hold a fractional share of common stock received an increase to their common stock as the common stock was rounded up to a full share.  No fractional shares were issued in connection with the reverse stock split.
