YRC Worldwide Inc. , which has struggled financially in recent years, plans to implement a 1-for-300 reverse-stock split after getting the necessary approval from shareholders Wednesday.
The Overland Park-based trucking company (Nasdaq: YRCW) said in a release that the split would be effective Friday, at which point the company’s ticker symbol will change to YRCWD until Jan. 3.
The split will cut the number of YRC outstanding common shares from 2 billion to 6.8 million and reduce the number of authorized shares from 10 billion to 33.3 million.
