BSM Technologies Inc. completes share consolidation

TORONTO, Aug. 31, 2012 /CNW/ - BSM TECHNOLOGIES INC. (TSX-V:GPS) ("BSM") announces that it has received TSX Venture Exchange approval for the consolidation of BSM's issued and outstanding common shares ("Common Shares") on the basis of one new Common Share for every ten Common Shares presently issued and outstanding.  BSM's Common Shares are expected to begin trading on a consolidated basis on the TSX Venture Exchange on Friday, August 31, 2012.

"We are proceeding with share consolidation from a position of strength," said Aly Rahemtulla, President and CEO of BSM. "We believe that reducing our share capital to a more manageable level as well as raising our share price will help to generate more interest in our Company from the investment community, particularly in light of recent developments such as our large contract wins and record third quarter results."

A new CUSIP number of 055714406 replaces BSM's old CUSIP number of 055714307 to distinguish between the pre and post-consolidated Common Shares.  BSM's name and trading symbol will remain unchanged.  Following the completion of the Common Share consolidation, the Company will have approximately 28,587,262 Common Shares issued and outstanding.

Letters of transmittal describing the details of the share consolidation and the process by which shareholders obtain actual share certificates representing the consolidated common shares will be mailed out to BSM's registered shareholders September 4^th, 2012. Registered shareholders may also obtain copies of the letter of transmittal by contacting their brokers or other intermediary or BSM's transfer agent, Computershare Investor Services Inc.

Shareholders who hold their shares through their broker or other intermediary and do not have actual share certificates registered in their name will not be required to complete and return a letter of transmittal. Any pre-consolidation common shares owned by such shareholders will automatically be adjusted as a result of the share consolidation to reflect the applicable number of post-consolidation common shares owned by them and no further action is required to be taken by such shareholders. If as a result of the consolidation a shareholder becomes entitled to a fractional share, such fractions will be rounded to the nearest whole common share.
