Registered shareholders will be required to return their certificates representing pre Consolidation common shares and a completed letter of transmittal to Endeavor. Any registered shareholder who submits a duly completed letter of transmittal to Endeavor along with pre-Consolidation share certificate will receive in return a post Consolidation share certificate or Direct Registration System Advice.
