BELLEVUE, Wash., Nov. 25, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- mCig(R), Inc. MCIG ("mCig"), a technology company that owns, manufactures, and distributes the mCig(R), VitaCig(R), and Vapolution products is pleased to announce that the company has received approval from the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA") for the VitaCig, Inc. dividend, and spinoff.

The Record Date for the dividend has been set for November 28, 2014 (11/28/2014). This is the official date when a shareholder must be recorded as a shareholder of mCig, Inc. to be eligible for the dividend.

The Payment Date for the dividend has been set for November 28, 2014.

The Ex-Dividend Date is therefore the close of trading today (11/25/2014). This is due to the logistics of the stock market as US Stock market trades settle T+3 (3 days for settlement of all trades). The last day to purchase mCig, Inc. shares and be recorded as a record owner before the record date (11/28/2014) is today.

The company has initiated the 15c211 process for the listing and trading of VitaCig Inc. shares and will update its shareholders once listing approval and a trading symbol has been obtained by FINRA.

About mCig, Inc.

mCig, Inc. (MCIG) is a technology company focused on two long-term secular trends sweeping the globe: (1) The decriminalization and legalization of marijuana for medicinal or recreational purposes (2) The adoption of electronic vaporizing cigarettes (commonly known as "eCigs") by the world's 1.2 Billion smokers. The company manufactures and retails the mCig(R) line of products including the mCig(R) 2.0 -- the world's most affordable vaporizer priced at only $10 to the mCig(R) 3.0 -- one of the most advanced personal vaporizers on the market. Designed in the USA -- the mCig(R) provides a superior smoking experience by heating plant material, waxes, and oils delivering a smoother inhalation experience. The company also owns Vapolution, Inc. which manufactures and retails home-use vaporizers such as the Vapolution 3.0. Through its wholly owned subsidiary, VitaCig, Inc. the company manufactures and retails the VitaCig(R), a $5 nicotine-free eCig that delivers a water-vapor mixed with vitamins and natural flavors.

The company believes that a well regulated marijuana industry is emerging as more states follow the lead of Washington and Colorado in legalizing marijuana. A similar trend is developing within the eCig industry following the first acquisition of an electronic cigarette brand (Blucigs) by a traditional tobacco company Lorillard Inc. for $135 million followed by another acquisition in February 2014 by Altria Group Inc. of Green Smoke for $150 million. Wells Fargo analyst Bonnie Herzog estimates that eCig sales may rise from $1 Billion in 2013 to $10 billion over the next three years.

mCig, Inc. (MCIG) has positioned itself as a first mover at the intersection of these two trends and hopes to create shareholder value by making the mCig(R) one of the leading choices for electronic consumption of plant material. - See more at: http://www.mcig.org/investors/investor-opportunity-subpage/
