Over the past approximately 120 days, the Company has worked with counsel and advisors to better understand the opportunities and implications of a creating a stand alone senior US listing. As a Canadian Company, Ortsbo would be subject to foreign listing considerations and as such Intertainment has investigated and it has been recommended that Ortsbo be domiciled as a US Corporation. The Company and management feel that this would be the best long-term solution for Ortsbo shareholder value.
The Company has reviewed a number of offers to move forward with the spin out process and is scheduled to review a final opportunity in the next two (2) weeks. The Company will then make a decision on its go-forward strategy and provide shareholders with a formal circular package which will be discussed and voted on at its Special Meeting on May 31, 2013.
