In early May, Silver Diner announced a plan for a 1-for-5,000 reverse stock split of its common stock and a cash payment of 32 cents for each share before the split rather than the issuance of any fractional shares of common stock.
Upon the reverse stock split and the subsequent reduction in shareholders, Silver Diner said it would have the right under Securities and Exchange Commission rules to terminate the registration of its common shares in the public market. The plan is subject to shareholder approval.
On a fully diluted basis, the first-quarter loss per share was 1 cent, compared with a loss per share of 7 cents in the year-ago quarter.
