ANAHEIM, Calif., Jan. 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- DDi Corp. (NASDAQ:DDIC), a leading provider of technologically advanced engineering and manufacturing services, today announced that its Board of Directors has authorized a reverse split of the Company's common stock at a ratio of 1-for-7. DDi expects the reverse split of shares to take effect after the close of business on February 3, 2006. DDi today also announced its preliminary revenues for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2005, of approximately $48 million, reflecting an 8% sequential quarterly growth in the Company's PCB manufacturing business. The reverse stock split will reduce the number of DDi's outstanding shares from approximately 127.9 million to approximately 18.3 million shares. The reverse split was approved by the Company's shareholders at a shareholder meeting held on August 5, 2005 in connection with the shareholders approval of DDi's $75 million rights offering, in which the Company issued 100 million shares of common stock at $0.75 per share. DDi believes that the reverse stock split will permit it to regain compliance with Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4450(a)(5) and maintain continued listing on Nasdaq, while increasing the effective marketability of its common stock and make it more attractive to institutional investors. As a result of the reverse stock split, every seven shares of DDi's issued and outstanding common stock will be automatically converted into one share of common stock. DDi will not issue fractional shares of common stock in connection with the reverse split. Rather, shareholders will receive a cash payment equal to the value of the fractional shares that they otherwise would have received. The reverse split will also result in a proportionate adjustment to the number of shares issuable upon conversion of DDi's Series B Preferred Stock and the number of shares underlying stock options and warrants outstanding immediately prior to the effective date of the reverse split. Proportionate adjustments will be made to the per share exercise price of all outstanding options and warrants. Additionally, the reverse split affects the total shares issuable in the future under the Company's stock option plans. Shares of DDi's common stock will be listed on the Nasdaq National Markets on a post-split basis on February 6, 2006, under the temporary trading symbol "DDICD" for approximately 20 trading days before reverting to "DDIC" on or about March 6, 2006. DDi's transfer agent, Mellon Investor Services, will notify the Company's shareholders and request that they surrender their certificates representing shares of pre-split common stock so that certificates representing the appropriate number of shares of post-split common stock.
