The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc.

FINRA has reviewed the trading in SWK common stock for September 16, 2015, and has determined to rule all such transactions to be null and void.
FINRA has indicated that trading will resume 8:00:00 AM E.T. on Thursday, September 17, 2015, on a pre-split basis.
The Company’s common stock will trade on OTCQB on a post-split basis under CUSIP number 78501P 203 following announcement by FINRA. The Company expects an announcement regarding the timing of the Company’s post-split trading by FINRA shortly.
