The merger, which is now pending shareholder and regulatory approval, will result in Comercis being merged into NewGold, and the company will then be a true Internet company with a new stock name and symbol to represent the change. NewGold shareholders will have their shares reverse split, converting every 12 shares of NewGold stock into one share of the new company stock. Current shareholders of Comercis stock will then trade their shares for an equal number of new company shares. Upon the effective merger date -- after the reverse split and exchange of shares -- approximately 20 million shares of the new company stock will be outstanding. Additionally, the company will be officially changing its name to Comercis, and the stock will be trading under a new ticker symbol. "Comercis is excited to move the merger to the next stage and one step closer to completion," said Chris Meux, president and CEO for Comercis. "We are confident that current shareholders in both companies will approve the merger and we look forward to generating positive returns on their investments."
