Beginning on November 12, 2019, OLB’s common stock will trade on the OTC Market on a reverse split-adjusted basis under the new CUSIP number 67086U307.

The amount of authorized common stock, as well as the par value for the common stock, will not be affected. The shares of common stock underlying the Company’s outstanding stock options and warrants will be similarly adjusted. Any fractional shares resulting from the reverse stock split will be rounded up to the nearest whole share.
