CASTLE ROCK, Colo., Nov. 30, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Where Food Comes From, Inc. (WFCF) WFCF, the most trusted resource for independent, third-party verification of food production practices in North America, today announced that on November 30, 2020, it formally submitted its application for listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market.

The Nasdaq submission coincides with the Board of Directors' adoption of a 1-for-4 reverse stock split effective November 30, 2020.   FINRA is currently reviewing the reverse split documentation submitted by WFCF and the Company intends to issue a news release once that review is completed and a final date for the reverse split is established.

"The planned reverse split and subsequent uplisting of our common stock to the Nasdaq Capital Market are important milestones for the Company that underscore our industry leadership, consistent growth, and strong cash flow generation," said John Saunders, chairman and CEO of WFCF. "We look forward to updating investors on the timing of both events as soon as effective dates are approved."

At the Annual Meeting of Stockholders on May 13, 2019, WFCF stockholders approved a reverse stock split of not more than 1-for-4 as determined by the WFCF Board. The primary purpose of the reverse split is to raise the Company's share price to a level that meets the initial listing standards of the Nasdaq Capital Market.

The reverse split would result in each stockholder owning one share of stock for every four shares of stock previously owned. Following the reverse split, and except for adjustments that may result from the treatment of fractional shares that will be rounded up: 1) each stockholder will hold the same percentage of outstanding common stock as such stockholder held immediately prior to the reverse split; and 2) WFCF will have approximately 6,159,935 common shares outstanding compared to approximately 24,639,737 common shares outstanding immediately prior to the reverse split.
