HOH Water OKs Name Change, Reverse Stock Split

HOH Water Technology Corp. said its shareholders have approved a corporate name change and a 1-for-10 reverse split of its common stock.

The company, a maker of water purification systems, will take on the name of Electropure Inc., a company formed about four years ago to handle manufacturing and marketing of HOH’s system. HOH said it will assume the Electropure name after finalizing its plan to reacquire a technology patent that it licensed to Electropure. The plan is expected to be finalized within 30 to 60 days, and the reverse stock split will take effect at the same time.

HOH also announced that E. Dale Hartley, a member of the board since 1991, stepped down as a director to devote more time to a new enterprise he recently formed.
