TORONTO, Nov. 29, 2016 /CNW/ - Pivot Technology Solutions, Inc.
(TSX-V: PTG), a full-service information technology provider, today announced it has received conditional approval from the Toronto
Stock Exchange (TSX) to list its common shares on the TSX. The TSX conditional approval is subject to customary listing
conditions.
Pivot's common shares are expected to be listed and posted for trading on the TSX at the opening of markets on December 19, 2016 under its existing symbol "PTG". In connection with the listing of the common shares on the
TSX, the last day of trading on the TSX-V is expected to be December 16, 2016 and the common shares
will be delisted from the TSX-V upon commencement of trading on the TSX.
"Graduating to the TSX will fulfill a key commitment to our shareholders and among other advantages, will increase our access to
the capital markets and elevate our corporate profile," said Kevin Shank, Pivot President and Chief
Executive Officer. "We look forward to this next chapter in our development as we continue to execute our shareholder value
creation agenda."
"This is an important milestone for all of us at Pivot and for our fellow shareholders who have long recognized the potential in
our business," said Brian Kyle, Chief Financial Officer. "While the listing will not change our
focus on delivering great IT products and lifecycle services to customers as a means of building shareholder value, it will create
higher expectations of governance and financial reporting. We are ready and welcoming of this new level of scrutiny."
Concurrently with the TSX graduation, the Company intends to proceed with a consolidation of its common shares on the basis of
four (4) pre-consolidation common shares for one (1) post-consolidation common share (the Share Consolidation), subject to the
approval of the TSX. Shareholders of Pivot approved the Share Consolidation at the Company's Annual General and Special
Meeting on June 21, 2016 and the Company has received conditional approval from the TSX subject to
customary conditions. Currently, a total of 167,976,626 common shares in the capital of the Company are issued and
outstanding. Following the Share Consolidation, Pivot will have 41,994,157 common shares issued and outstanding, assuming there are
no other changes in the issued capital of the Company.
