Exhibit 99.1
Vestin Realty Mortgage II, Inc. Announces Intent to Voluntarily
Delist and Deregister its Common Stock
LAS VEGAS March 8, 2017 Vestin Realty Mortgage II, Inc. (NASDAQ
CM: VRTB) (the “Company”) announced today that it has notified
the Nasdaq Stock Market of its intent to voluntarily delist its
common stock from the Nasdaq Capital Market, and that it intends
to voluntarily deregister its common stock under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) and cease filing
reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
“SEC”).
The decision to voluntarily delist and deregister the common
stock is a cost savings step that will reduce expenses associated
with the Company’s Nasdaq listing and compliance with SEC
reporting requirements, which include legal, accounting and other
administrative fees. The Company’s common stock is thinly traded
and the Company does not believe the benefits of having its
common stock listed and registered outweigh the burden of those
annual costs. Management believes that the expense reductions
created by delisting and deregistering the Company’s shares will
benefit the Company and its shareholders, and ultimately will
serve to maximize the value of the Company.
The Company anticipates that it will file with the SEC a Form 25
relating to the delisting of its common stock on or about March
20, 2017, with the delisting of its common stock to be effective
ten days thereafter. Accordingly, the Company expects that the
last day of trading of its common stock on the Nasdaq Capital
Market will be on or about March 30, 2017. The filing of the Form
25 and notice to Nasdaq will be undertaken subject to a vote by
the Company’s stockholders at an annual meeting to be held March
9, 2017, or any postponement or adjournment thereof, on proposals
to effect a reverse 1-for-1,000 stock split of the Company’s
common stock, the cash-out of fractional shares at an amount
equal to the greater of (i) $2.70, which is the 10-day average
market price ending on the last trading day prior to the first
public disclosure of the reverse stock split proposal, or (ii)
the 10-day average market price ending on the last trading day
prior the effective date of the reverse stock split. The Company
is undertaking the reverse stock split to reduce the number of
beneficial stockholders to fewer than 300 so that the Company can
deregister its common stock
