iGo, Inc. Announces FINRA Approval of Reverse/Forward Stock Splits

LOS GATOS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

iGo, Inc. (OTC PINK: IGOI) (the “Company” or “iGo”) announced today that it has received approval from the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA") clearing the reverse and forward stock splits of the Company's common stock previously approved by its stockholders and announced on June 25, 2014. The reverse and forward stock splits are intended to reduce the costs associated with servicing stockholder accounts holding relatively small numbers of shares of the Company's common stock. According to FINRA's approval, the reverse and forward stock splits will take effect on July 18, 2014 ("Effective Date"). On the Effective Date, the Company's trading symbol will be changed from "IGOI" to "IGOID" for approximately 20 business days after which it will revert to IGOI.

Pursuant to the reverse and forward stock splits, stockholders holding less than 250 shares of the Company's common stock immediately prior to the effective time of reverse stock split will not receive fractional shares in the reverse stock split, but will instead have their shares cancelled and converted into the right to receive a cash payment of $3.35 per pre-reverse stock split share. Stockholders holding 250 or more shares of the Company's common stock immediately prior to the effective time of the reverse stock split will not receive a cash payment, but will continue to hold the same number of shares after completion of the reverse/forward stock split as they held immediately prior to the reverse stock split.

For more information regarding the reverse/forward stock split, please refer to the Proxy Statement relating to the Company's stockholder meeting held on May 13, 2014 that was previously mailed to the Company's stockholders.
