"The corporate name change and reverse stock split is one of the final steps in our year long campaign to unify the company's corporate identity with its product brand," said OMNIS chairman and CEO Tim Negris. "We believe the reverse split will improve the liquidity of the company's stock by lowering the transaction costs associated with buying large blocks of stock. Additionally, as a result of the reverse stock split, the per share price of OMNIS stock will trade in a price range where large institutional investors can participate."

In April of this year Blyth Holdings, Inc. changed the names of its subsidiaries to OMNIS Software, Inc., OMNIS Software, Ltd., and OMNIS Software GmbH.
