3-FOR-2 FORWARD STOCK SPLIT POSTPONED TO OCTOBER 9, 2009
Murrieta, CA, September 28, 2009 –Left Behind Games Inc. (OTCBB: LFBG), dbaInspired Media Entertainment, today announced that the Company has postponed its anticipated 3-for-2 forward stock split by one week. The new record date has been postponed to Friday, October 9, 2009. Shareholders who own shares as of the close of business on the record date will benefit from the forward stock split. At 12:01am (EST) on October 10, 2009, every two shares of issued and outstanding common stock held by a stockholder will be converted and reconstituted into three shares without any further action by the stockholder. Fractional shares resulting from the forward stock split will be rounded up to the nearest whole number.
CEO, Troy Lyndon, says, “The purpose of this forward split is to give shareholders increased leverage and liquidity. We want to reward those who have been with the company by increasing their number of shares. We also want to encourage new investors to join us as we believe we are the only public company that offers clean, wholesome, Christian video games for our youth and adults alike.”
Beginning October 12, 2009, Inspired Media products will be part of a Christian games test conducted by Walmart in the Dallas / Houston, Texas markets. The Company believes Christian games will continue to rise in popularity, similarly to Christian music in the 1990s.
Inspired Media currently publishes six games including Charlie Church Mouse, Keys of the Kingdom, and Tribulation Forces, the sequel to the original game LEFT BEHIND: Eternal Forces, known as the most widely distributed Christian PC game in history. The Company’s LEFT BEHIND branded games are based upon the popular novel series by Tim LaHaye and Jerry Jenkins which have sold more than 65 million books in 30 languages worldwide.
In contrast to many other PC games, Inspired Media games encourage positive decisions and actions. Rather than the usual “winning” by using weapons and killing the enemy, players are rewarded when their characters use the power of influence to bring about good rather than destruction.
