NEW YORK, April 24, 2013
NEW YORK, April 24, 2013 /PRNewswire/ — Winning Brands Corporation (OTC Pink: WNBD) www.WinningBrands.com announces that a reverse split of its common stock will go into effect as of April 25, 2013 on a basis of 1:500. A 90% reduction in the current authorized level of common stock will be implemented by the Winning Brands Board, providing a new lower common share cap of 500 million.
The result of the action will be a reduction in the number of Winning Brands common shares outstanding to 9,996,078 as of April 25th. No fractional shares will be issued. The trading symbol will be WNBDD for 20 days in order to designate the corporate action, following which the symbol will revert to WNBD. The new CUSIP Number will be 975012204.
Winning Brands CEO, Eric Lehner, comments further: “There are two benefits to the company from this action. The first pertains to corporate finance. This share consolidation is a step toward the company’s previously announced plan to become registered with the Securities & Exchange Commission by adopting a more conventional share structure and thus providing a more attractive basis for financing the registration related activities. Appointment of auditors registered with the PCAOB (Public Company Accounting Oversight Board) will follow. If SEC registration is obtained, Winning Brands will seek quotation at the OTCQB level of www.OTCMarkets.com with possible dollar volume liquidity advantages for shareholders. The second benefit to Winning Brands is an improved basis to accelerate operational work, including the recruitment of new sales personnel, with the top priority being the hiring of U.S. sales management.”
Most Winning Brands common shareholders do not need to take special steps in order for their holdings to be converted into the new shares, because this will be carried out automatically by FINRA member investment dealerships before and during trading transactions, with restated holdings appearing automatically in electronic accounts, pertaining to the new CUSIP number. Winning Brands shares are not currently eligible for clearance through all brokerages and implementation procedure amongst organizations may vary.
All shareholders are invited to e-mail the company with questions. The questions will be tabulated and form the basis of a conference call to be announced in the first week of May, in which answers, clarification and further explanation will be provided. Please address all enquiries to the Office of the Assistant to the CEO: Jean@WinningBrands.ca. Mr. Lehner maintains a CEO weblog for the benefit of shareholders at www.WinningBrandsCorporation.com/blog. It serves as an overview of operational highlights, provides answers to many shareholder questions and should be considered a source of public information pertaining to the company pursuant to SEC Fair Disclosure guidelines.
Mr. Lehner concludes: “This is a case of Winning Brands advancing. The reverse split is part of an assertive registration and company uplisting effort. Winning Brands has risen upward through the OTC ranks of non-reporting issuers in our formative years to reach the highest available level in Pink Sheets, “Current Information”. Now we are targeting the next level up – OTCQB. In the business, we have earned very desirable retailer relationships as a foundation for success. We must increase consumer awareness of our products and consumer traffic to these well-known retailers. Additionally, aggressive business development in the industrial and commercial sectors with our existing products, as well as new ones that are currently under development, is being planned. The bottom line is that we can accomplish a great deal more and are ambitious to get it done. We continue to mature as a young publicly held venture and look forward to deepening our relationships on all sides”.

OAKVILLE, Ontario, April 12, 2013 /PRNewswire/ — Great Rock Development Corp. (OTC Pink: GROC) is pleased to provide an update on the company’s gold property in Byers Brook, Cobequid Highlands of Nova Scotia, Canada.
We have been carefully monitoring the activity by other companies in the surrounding areas as they established claims and begin exploration as a result of the original report of gold finds by the Nova Scotia Department of Natural Resources.

Following the airborne survey we will be executing our first phase of ground exploration leading to our drilling program. We are very excited about this venture and expect to accelerate exploration to assess the commercial viability of our mineral rights once the airborne results are reviewed.
