The TSX Venture Exchange gained 13.80 points to close at 571.00 Wednesday. Robert Meister's shell graduate and tech investment firm, Auralite Investments Inc. (AAAA), has split its shares 4 for 1, leaving it with 290 million shares issued. None of those 290 million shares traded today. Before splitting, Auralite's stock last closed at $3.50 on Monday.

Auralite has made two investments so far. First, it holds 5 per cent of the shares of Evvo Labs Pte. Ltd., a Singaporean information technology company that was founded in 2008. Auralite paid $1.5-million for the 5-per-cent interest. Evvo, a private company, has not provided its recent financials, but it was profitable in the first half of 2017. It then earned $242,000 on revenue of $1.9-million.

Second, Auralite holds $3.03-million worth of debentures of Fourth-Link Inc., a South Korean IT company. In 2017, Fourth-Link lost $24.9-million on revenue of $20-million. Its stock trades on South Korea's Kosdaq board and last closed at the equivalent of $3. The debentures held by Auralite are convertible into 1.63 million shares of Fourth-Link at 1,532 South Korean won (about $1.86). To acquire the debentures, Auralite issued 42 million presplit shares to Fourth-Link's former debenture holders. Among them are Taiwanese brothers Jian Han Chen and Chun Hao Chen, who now hold a combined 75.2 million postsplit shares or 25.9 per cent of Auralite.
