CALGARY, March 20, 2012 /CNW/ - Winalta Inc. ("Winalta" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that at a special meeting of shareholders of the Company held today, the shareholders approved a special resolution reducing the stated capital account for Winalta's Class A common Shares by an amount of $37,170,162 effective as at March 31, 2012. The $37,170,162 reduction reflects the amount of the Company's stated capital that is not represented by its realizable assets. The reduction of stated capital will be credited against the consolidated accumulated deficit of the Company. The reduction of stated capital will not otherwise affect the assets or liabilities of the Company.  The reduction of stated capital will not result in any monetary or other payment to shareholders.  It will not change the amount of shareholder's equity, but solely its composition. Management of Winalta believes that the reduction of stated capital will allow the Company's balance sheet to more accurately reflect the assets, operations and strategic focus of Winalta.  The reduction of stated capital and reduction of the deficit will have no impact on the day-to-day operations of the Company, or the Company's overall financial position. Winalta Inc., operating under the trade name, Winalta Oilfield Rentals, is an oilfield service provider that specializes in portable industrial rental accommodations, remote offices and Dedicated Geo Labs; servicing the Western Canadian oil and gas Industry.
