Item 8.01 Other Events
The Registrant has filed with NASDAQ under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, Rule 10b-17, in order to clarify and amend the terms of a stock dividend previously announced by the Registrant.Retroactive to March 22, 2007, Independence Lead Mines Company declares a forward split of stock: for each ten shares of common stock of the Corporation, $0.10 par value, owned by a shareholder with Cusip Number 453578-10-6, such shareholder would receive one additional share of common stock of the Company, $0.10 par value, subject to rounding upward in the case of fractional shares. On June 1, 2007, the Company received a new Cusip Number of 453578-30-4. As each share certificate with Cusip Number 453578-10-6 is exchanged with the Transfer Agent, such shareholder would receive a new certificate representing their holdings, together with the declared stock divid end, reciting new Cusip Number 453578-30-4. There is no record date. The stock dividend will be payable as share certificates are received. The Company will only cover the cost of one new certificate.
NASDAQ has advised the Registrant that the corporate action will take effect at the open of business on July 11, 2007. The new trading symbol for the Registrant on July 11, 2007 will be “ILDS”.
This information shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference to such filing.
