On July 29, 2009, OTC Corporate Actions/FINRA Operations advised Latin America Ventures, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Corporation”), that its contemplated 2.4-for-1 forward stock split would be placed on its Daily List. This corporate action was authorized by the Corporation’s Board of Directors on July 22, 2009 and provides for a 2.4-for-1 forward stock split of the Corporation’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock, with the additional shares being issued on August 6, 2009 (the “Payment Date”) to stockholders of record on August 3, 2009 (the “Record Date”). Pursuant to the forward stock split, stockholders will receive 1.4 new shares of the Corporation’s common stock for each one share of common stock held by them on the Record Date and the total number of issued and outstanding shares of the Corporation’s common stock shall be increased from 2,000,016 shares to approximately 4,800,040 shares. No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the forward stock split and any fractional interests will be rounded up to the nearest whole share. The new shares issuable as a result of the forward stock split will be credited to the stockholders’ book entry accounts on the Payment Date. Stockholders will not be required to surrender stock certificates or to take any other action in order to receive the new shares. The ex-dividend date for purposes of transactions in the over-the-counter market will be August 7, 2009.
