eGLOBE ANNOUNCES REVERSE STOCK SPLIT
Washington, D.C., November 1, 2000 -- eGlobe, Inc. (Nasdaq NM:
EGLO) eGlobe announced today that its Board of Directors has approved a
one-for-4.7 reverse stock split of its outstanding common shares. The reverse
stock split will be effective upon filing of a charter amendment relating to the
reverse stock split, expected to occur on Monday, November 13, 2000. Authority
to implement the stock split was obtained from stockholders at eGlobe's recent
stockholder meeting.
eGlobe will pay cash in lieu of any fraction of a share that
any stockholder would otherwise receive. The price for such fractional share
will be based on the closing market price of eGlobe's common stock on the day
preceding the filing date of the charter amendment.
After effectiveness of reverse stock split, eGlobe's transfer
agent will notify eGlobe's stockholders and request that stockholders surrender
their certificates representing shares of pre-split common stock to the transfer
agent so that certificates representing the appropriate number of shares of
post-split common stock, together with a cash payment in lieu of any fractional
share, may be issued in exchange.
