Item 7.01 | Regulation FD Disclosure |
The Company announces the amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation and the 2 for 1 forward stock split. On September 11, 2007, the Company released the press release filed herewith as Exhibit 99.1.
The Board of Directors of the Company has authorized and approved a 2 for 1 forward stock split of its issued and outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, payable upon surrender of certificates.
To effect the stock split, the Company authorized an amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation such that, upon the surrender to the Company’s transfer agent of the outstanding share certificates representing the issued and outstanding shares of common stock held by shareholders on September 11, 2007 at 4:30 p.m. Pacific Daylight Time (the “Record Date”), the Company’s transfer agent will issue new share certificates giving effect to the stock split so that each share of common stock of the Company issued and outstanding prior to the Record Date shall represent two post-split shares of the Company’s common stock.
Immediately prior to the stock split, the Company had 8,836,000 shares of common stock issued and outstanding (CUSIP No. 092258102). After giving effect to the stock split, the Company will have 17,672,000 shares of common stock issued and outstanding (CUSIP No. 092258201). The Company will begin trading on a post-split basis at the open of market on the Effective Date under the trading symbol BKTK.
