PURPOSES OF AND REASONS FOR THE OFFER Sample Clauses

PURPOSES OF AND REASONS FOR THE OFFER. We are making this offer to enable you to decide whether you desire to continue your investment in Wells Financial or whethex xxx desire to obtain current value for your shares. Since the initial public offering, our common stock has been registered under the Exchange Act and we have been subject to the reporting and proxy requirements of that act. The common stock must be registered, and we must follow these requirements, so long as there are 300 or more holders of record of the common stock. The purpose of this offer is to reduce the number of stockholders of Wells Financial's common stxxx. If, after completion of this offer, we have fewer than 300 stockholders of record, as calculated under the rules and regulations of the Exchange Act, the Board of Directors intends to deregister our common stock with the SEC and become a private company.

Stockholders should be aware that under Minnesota law, no stockholder approval is required for us to effect a reverse or forward stock split. If stockholders are cashed out as a result of a reverse stock split, they will receive the same price per share determined pursuant to our offer. If the common stock is deregistered, we intend, at this time, to supply stockholders with an annual report containing audited financial statements and a proxy statement after each year, though there is no requirement that it do so and it will not be bound by any of the SEC's disclosure requirements to which ...
