SANTA BARBARA, CA --(Marketwired - April 26, 2016) - Carbon Sciences Inc. (
To allow for an orderly transition, the Company's shares are temporarily trading under the "CABND" stock symbol.
A company that has undergone a reverse stock split often gets the letter "D" attached to the end of its ticker symbol. This letter is used to designate a company that is undergoing a stock split, or some form of corporate reorganization. This letter is generally attached to the end of the ticker for approximately 20 trading days before it's removed.
As previously stated by Bill Beifuss, the Company's president, "We believe that the stock split will better position the company's stock price to accommodate the Company's growth-by-acquisition strategy to extend its presence in the $3.8 trillion worldwide information technology (IT) market."
Also, as previously announced, the Company's plan is to grow by acquiring profitable IT services providers, which in the future may also provide a channel of distribution for its graphene-based networking device technology currently in early research and development. The IT services sector alone accounts for approximately $1 trillion of the total $3.8 trillion total worldwide IT market.
Carbon Sciences will continue to work with the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) to develop a new graphene-based optical modulator, a critical fiber optics component needed to help unclog the existing bottlenecks and enable ultrafast communication in data centers for Cloud computing.
UCSB is considered to be a global leader in bioengineering, chemical and computational engineering, materials science, nanotechnology and physics. UCSB boasts five Nobel Laureates (four in sciences and engineering) and one winner of the prestigious Millennium Technology Prize. The 2014 Academic Ranking of World Universities ranked UCSB Engineering/Technology and Computer Science as #7 in the world.
