EX-99.1 CHARTER 3 exhibit8k.txt PRESS RELEASE DATED JANUARY 21, 2003 CANTERBURY CONSULTING GROUP, INC. 352 Stokes Road, Suite 200, Medford, NJ 08055 CANTERBURY ANNOUNCES REVERSE SPLIT Medford, NJ - January 21, 2003 Canterbury Consulting Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:CITI) announced today that its Board of Directors, faced with the possibility of losing Canterbury's NASDAQ SmallCap listing because of NASDAQ's minimum stock price listing requirements, has voted to reverse split its common stock on a one for seven basis. The split will take affect January 24, 2003. At that time, Canterbury's common stock will trade under the symbol "CITID" for a period of 20 days, and will resume trading under "CITI" after that. This action by Canterbury Consulting Group, Inc.'s Board of Directors will reduce Canterbury's issued and outstanding shares from 12,130,712 to 1,732,959. The purpose of the reverse stock split is to increase the average trading price of CITI's common stock in order to regain compliance with the continued listing standards of the NASDAQ SmallCap Market, which requires, among other things, that the Company's common stock maintain a closing bid price of a minimum of $1.00 per share. Currently, the Company's common stock is trading at a bid price below $1.00 per share, and to regain compliance with the SmallCap Market's continued listing standards, the Company must attain a closing bid price of $1.00 minimum per share for ten consecutive trading days prior to February 13, 2003. "We believe that it is in the best interests of our shareholders to have the Company's common stock remain listed on the NASDAQ SmallCap Market," commented Kevin J. McAndrew, Canterbury's President and Chief Executive Officer. "We believe our shareholders will benefit from the visibility and trading dynamics of the NASDAQ SmallCap Market."
