HOUSTON, TX, July 6, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Houston Natural Resources Corp. (OTC: HNRC) ("HNRC or the Company") announced today that it will spin off its non-energy assets to its wholly owned subsidiary Worldwide Diversified Holdings, Inc and then dividend them to its shareholders.
The Company announced that, effective June 30, 2022, the Board of Directors has approved the transfer of the non-energy investments of $53,307,324 in exchange for 10,661,465 common shares of Worldwide Diversified Holdings, Inc at $5.00 per share. The Company received the requisite stockholder approval granting the Board of Directors the authority to affect the transfer of the assets and approve the dividend to the shareholders.
Worldwide Diversified Holdings, Inc ("WDHI") has audited statements and will provide for a listing later this year. The dividend record date will be announced during the third quarter and will automatically be distributed to the Company's shareholders. The company is anticipating an initial trading price of $5.00 per share to provide for the Company to list on a major exchange and receive additional capital. The transaction will provide for a dividend of $1.75 of WDHI shares for every one share of HNRC held by the shareholder on the record date.
Shareholders owning shares through a broker or other nominee will have their positions automatically adjusted to reflect the dividend and will not be required to take any action in connection with the transaction. The transaction would not have any impact on the voting and other rights of stockholders and will have no impact on the Company's business operations or any of its outstanding indebtedness.
With the completion of the transaction, the company will now be focused on (i) acquisitions of income producing oil and gas properties, (ii) expansion of its wastewater treatment facilities, (iii) additional equipment for the existing 83 oil well rework project and (iv) on completing its listing onto the OTCQB.
