The same 1-for-100 reverse stock split ratio will be used to effect the reverse stock split of SpongeTech®’s issued and outstanding common stock, Class B Stock and preferred stock. Accordingly, all stockholders will be affected proportionately.
so it affects issued and outstanding stocks....according to here authorized shares are not considered issued, but are they outstanding?

What are Authorized Shares?
State law specifies that shares of stock in the corporation will be issued under the direction of the board of directors. But, since the corporation is set up to benefit the shareholders, the shareholders set, or limit, the number of shares the directors are "authorized", or allowed, to issue. Since the directors are not allowed to issue shares without authorization from the shareholders, the number of authorized shares is equal to the number of total shares.
What's the Difference Between Issued and Authorized Shares?
The board of directors control the issuance of stock. Authorized shares is the total number of shares of stock that the board of directors are "authorized" to issue to shareholders. The board may issue all the shares now, or issue some now, and some later.
Authorized shares become issued shares when "issued" or distributed to a stockholder. Shares that are not issued are usually called authorized but UN-issued shares. UN-issued shares belong to the corporation and are not considered for shareholders' ownership percentages.
so then in the pr it states this
Quote:
In conjunction with the reverse stock split, the Board of Directors and the holders of more than a majority of SpongeTech’s voting capital stock have approved a decrease in SpongeTech®’s authorized capital. The post-split authorized capital will be 900 million shares of common stock, 25 million shares of Class B Stock and 40 million shares of preferred stock.
I don't think the authorized shares are hit by the R/S thats why it says 900 million common after the reverse because that would be the authorized.
