Red Mountain Resources Announces 1-For-10 Reverse Stock Split and Reincorporation


Dallas, TX --, Jan. 29, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Red Mountain Resources, Inc. (OTCQB: RDMP.QB) (the "Company") announced today that effective at 12:01 a.m. Eastern Time on January 31, 2014, the Company will effect a 1-for-10 reverse split of its shares of common stock (the "Reverse Split").

Beginning with the opening of trading on January 31, 2014, the Company's common stock will continue to trade on the OTCBB on a Reverse Split adjusted basis with a new CUSIP number of 75678V302.  As of that date, the Company's common stock will temporarily trade under the symbol "RDMPD" for 20 business days, after which time the symbol will revert back to "RDMP". 

When the Reverse Split becomes effective, every ten shares of common stock of the Company will be automatically combined into one share of common stock, reducing the number of outstanding shares of common stock of the Company from approximately 134.0 million to approximately 13.4 million. In addition, the number of authorized shares of common stock will be reduced from 500,000,000 shares to 50,000,000 shares.

No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the Reverse Split. Instead, the Company's transfer agent will aggregate all fractional shares that otherwise would have been issued as a result of the Reverse Split and those shares will be sold into the market. Shareholders who would have held a fractional share of the Company will receive a cash payment from the net proceeds of that sale in lieu of such fractional share.

On January 31, 2014, after the completion of the Reverse Split, the Company will change its state of incorporation from Florida to Texas.

Both the Reverse Split and the reincorporation were approved by the Company's common shareholders at the annual meeting of shareholders on December 20, 2013.

Broadridge Corporate Issuer Solutions, Inc. will act as the Company's Exchange Agent in connection with the Reverse Split.  Shareholders will receive the notices, forms and instructions regarding the exchange of their pre-split shares for post-split shares from the Exchange Agent or their broker.
