CAMPBELL, CA--(Marketwired - Apr 9, 2014) - Titan Iron Ore Corp. (OTCQB: TFER), is pleased to announce that it has received confirmation of its name change, with an effective date of April 11, 2014. Additionally a symbol change with FINRA to (OTCQB: HKUP) is in process, along with the company's latest 14C filing of its reverse stock split with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company's new name will be iHookup Social, Inc. when the market opens on April 11, 2014.
"Our new corporate name allows the company to align our operations, brand, and financial presence far more effectively going forward," stated Robert Rositano, Jr. CEO, iHookup Social. "The name change, reverse stock split and new symbol are the next step toward building the proper foundation after the merger of Titan Iron Ore Corp. and iHookup Social, Inc. We believe that this step will further enable the company to leverage the goodwill on our popular app and its growing 140,000+ users."
"We have applied for a 20-1 reverse stock split which we believe will allow our stock to now be traded by a much broader group of investors, while achieving the May 1, 2014 requirements for its OTCQB market listing. OTC Markets will introduce a new minimum one-cent ($.01) bid price requirement and will require the company's chief executive or chief financial officer to certify that its reporting obligations are current and that disclosures about shareholdings, officers and corporate profile are correct," added Rositano. "The combination of the aforementioned events should complete an important foundational phase for iHookup Social and allow us to embark on our corporate journey with the right presence and positioning in public markets."
Shareholders of record at the end of trading on or about April 28, 2014 will be affected by the 20-1 reverse stock split. When the market opens on or about this date every twenty (20) shares of issued and outstanding common stock will be converted into one (1) share of common stock. All fractional shares created by the reverse stock split will be rounded to the nearest whole share. The reverse stock split will also reduce the Company's outstanding preferred stock based on this split ratio.
