Paragon Commercial Corporation Announces Stock Split
125-for-1 Stock Split Became Effective June 23, 2014.
Raleigh, NC, July 04, 2014 --(PR.com)-- Paragon Commercial Corporation, parent company of Paragon Commercial Bank (“Paragon Bank”), has authorized a 125-for-1 stock split for shareholders of record as of June 9, 2014. The stock split was effective as of June 23, 2014.
Previously at the company’s annual meeting of shareholders in May, shareholders approved the reclassification of Paragon Commercial Corporation class A and class B common stock into a single class of common stock, which took effect May 29, 2014. Both the stock split and the reclassification of shares are intended to increase the liquidity of Paragon Commercial Corporation shares and bring the stock price to a level more attractive to investors.
The company has begun the process to receive a ticker symbol so that Paragon’s stock can be traded on the “over the counter” market and in an electronic manner. Raymond James is applying to become a market maker in the common stock.
Paragon shareholders will receive information required to exchange their current stock certificates in order to have the reclassification and the stock split reflected in their holdings.
