1-for-10 Reverse Stock Split Represents Staffing 360's Next Step on Journey to Become a NASDAQ Listed Company


NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwired - September 17, 2015) - Staffing 360 Solutions, Inc. (OTCQB: STAFD), a public company executing a global buy-and-build strategy through the acquisition of staffing organizations with operations in the US and UK, today announced that a 1-for-10 reverse stock split of Staffing 360's issued and outstanding common stock has taken place as part of the Company's proposed uplisting to the NASDAQ Capital Market.

The reverse stock split was approved by the Company's board of directors, as well as the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA). The effectiveness of the Company's reverse stock split took place as of the opening of trading today.

"This reverse stock split is an important milestone to fulfill the share price requirement for an uplisting to NASDAQ," stated Brendan Flood, Executive Chairman of Staffing 360 Solutions. "Achieving a national exchange listing is a major event, and it is expected to attract a broader and more diverse shareholder base. We believe this is the next logical step for our capital markets journey as we continue to deploy our high-growth acquisition strategy in the US and UK."

The Company currently meets all listing requirements of the NASDAQ Capital Market, with the exception of its share price. Now that the reverse stock split has become effective, the Company's common stock is trading under the new ticker symbol "STAFD" and will continue to do so for a period of 20 business days. The common stock is also trading under a new CUSIP number of 852387208, which replaces the previous CUSIP number of 852387109.

Before any listing of the common stock on the NASDAQ Capital Market can occur, NASDAQ will need to approve the company's application for listing. NASDAQ will monitor trading for a minimum of 5 trading days to make sure the stock maintains key thresholds, such as the standard criteria of a $4.00 bid price or higher.

Due to the 1-for-10 reverse stock split, every 10 shares of issued and outstanding common stock has be converted into 1 newly issued share of common stock, without any change in the par value, and the authorized shares of common stock have been reduced from 200,000,000 to 20,000,000 shares. The reverse stock split does not affect any shareholder's ownership percentage of Staffing 360 Solutions' common shares, except to the limited extent that the reverse stock split results in any shareholder owning a fractional share. Fractional shares of common stock have been rounded up to the nearest whole share.

Shareholders of record are not required to send in their current stock certificates or evidence of book-entry or other electronic positions for exchange. Each stock certificate and book-entry or other electronic position representing issued and outstanding shares of the company's common stock has been automatically adjusted. Those shareholders holding common stock in "street name" will receive instructions from their brokers if they need to take any action in connection with the reverse stock split.

Shareholders holding physical share certificates can hold on to their current certificates until they choose to deposit the shares with a broker, at which point the post-split valuation will automatically be adjusted at that time. If an investor would like to have the physical share certificate state the post-split amount in advance, they may choose to send their certificates, at their cost, to the Company's transfer agent for exchange, however this is not necessary. In this event, stock certificates can be mailed to the Company's transfer agent at the following address:

VStock Transfer, LLC
18 Lafayette Place
Woodmere, New York 11598
Phone: 212.828.8436

All of the company's options, warrants, and other convertible securities that are outstanding immediately before the reverse stock split have also been adjusted by dividing the number of shares of common stock into which the options, warrants, and other convertible securities are exercisable or convertible by 10 and multiplying the exercise or conversion price thereof by 10, all in accordance with the terms of the plans, agreements, or arrangements governing such options, warrants, and other convertible securities.
