Gaithersburg, MD, July 19, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- RealBiz Media Group, Inc. (OTCPink: RBIZ) (the “Company”), is pleased to announce that the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) has approved the spin-off of the Company’s real estate division into NestBuilder.com Corp. (“NestBuilder”).
The record date for the distribution (the “Distribution”) of shares of common stock of NestBuilder to holders of securities of the Company is July 2, 2018, and the ex-dividend date for the Distribution is July 20, 2018. Stockholders of the Company will receive one free trading share of common stock of NestBuilder for each 900 shares of common stock of the Company held by such stockholders. The Distribution is anticipated to occur on July 31, 2018.
“We are glad that we will be able to distinguish ourselves as solely an international food company, an important distinction for our customers, partners and stockholders,” said Anshu Bhatnagar, Chief Executive Officer of the Company. “Even with our small footprint, we believe that we are one of the only publicly-traded food companies of our kind operating in the Middle East, North Africa and the Gulf Cooperation Council countries of the United Arab Emirates, Oman, Bahrain, Qatar, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, providing us with a competitive advantage in the region.”
Alex Aliksanyan, CEO of NestBuilder, added: “We are pleased that the long-awaited spin-off of the real estate assets of RealBiz will finally occur. In 2016 we envisioned two companies emerging from RealBiz, one an international food business and the second a real estate digital competitor. While the regulatory environment proved to be a challenge, we are glad to finally see our strategy come to fruition. The management of Nestbuilder.com is looking forward to competing in the real estate space under our new name and with a new vision for the future.”
