Littlefield Corporation Announces Institutional Investment
Business Wire, Feb 27, 2007
AUSTIN, Texas -- Littlefield Corporation (OTCBB:LTFD) announces that it has agreed to sell 400,000 shares of its common stock to funds affiliated with Value Fund Advisors, LLC of Tulsa, Oklahoma at a fifteen percent (15%) premium to its five (5) day average closing price. The purchase price is therefore $1.19/share.
In addition, the affiliated funds of Value Fund Advisors, LLC will also purchase 100,000 shares of common stock of Littlefield in the open market for cash over the next three (3) months.
The total stock ownership of funds affiliated with Value Fund Advisors, LLC will therefore be 500,000 shares when their purchase program is completed.
The Company will make an SEC Form 8K filing on this transaction. The transaction will close this week.
Jeffrey L. Minch, President and Chief Executive Officer of Littlefield
Corporation, offered the following comments:
"Value Fund Advisors, LLC represents the kind of institutional
owner who can provide Littlefield with a stable base of ownership
as well as a font of wisdom on financial issues which will be
useful to tap as the Company continues to grow. While there are no
guarantees in this deal, they may also represent a substantial
source of follow on financing which may facilitate larger
acquisition transactions in the future.
The fact that they were willing to pay a premium and to acquire
shares in the open market for cash is an indication of the
seriousness of their investment and separates them from many other
similar institutions who seek a discount in similar transactions.
This is clearly a vote of confidence.
This is consistent with recent initiatives of the Company which
has begun to seek out institutional ownership; communication with
nano-, micro- and small-cap funds and investors; more public
dissemination of information about the Company through attendance
at targeted conferences and the prospective retention of an
investor relations firm."
Investors are always cautioned to be careful in drawing conclusions from a single press release, the Company's performance in a single quarter or the individual opinions of any member of the Company's management in making their individual investment decisions.
