California Resources Corporation Announces 1-for-10 Reverse Stock Split
California Resources Corporation (NYSE: CRC) announced today that at the close of business on May 31, 2016, it effected a
1-for-10 reverse stock split. Each 10 shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding were combined into 1 share of common
stock.
The reverse stock split affects all issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock, as well as common stock
underlying stock options and other stock-based compensation immediately prior to the effectiveness of the reverse stock split. The
reverse stock split proportionally reduced the total number of shares outstanding from approximately 410 million to approximately
41 million. Concurrently with the reverse stock split, the authorized shares of common stock were reduced from 2.0 billion to 200
million and authorized preferred stock was reduced to 20 million shares.
No fractional shares will be issued to record holders of CRC stock in connection with the reverse stock split. Any such
fractional share of common stock that would otherwise have resulted from the reverse stock split will be converted into cash
payments. American Stock Transfer & Trust Co., the transfer agent for the common stock, will serve as the exchange agent for
the reverse stock split and distribute cash in lieu of fractional shares to record holders. Stockholders holding their shares in
book-entry form or through a bank, broker or other nominee do not need to take any action in connection with the reverse stock
split, and will see the impact of the reverse stock split automatically reflected in their accounts following the effective date.
Such holders may see fractional shares reflected in their accounts.
The Company’s trading symbol, CRC, will not change as a result of the reverse stock split. The Company’s common stock will begin
trading today, June 1, 2016, under the new CUSIP number 13057Q 206.
