SALT LAKE CITY, Nov. 25, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Overstock.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:OSTK) filed a preliminary proxy statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission for a shareholder vote on its Digital Voting Series A-1 Preferred Stock Dividend on February 13, 2020.

“With this filing, we move one step closer to issuing a digital dividend to our shareholders that is freely tradable and more easily transferable,” said Overstock CEO Jonathan Johnson. “This proxy allows our shareholders to voice their support for our world changing blockchain strategy.”

The company is seeking shareholder approval to change the terms of the Certificates of Designation for its Digital Voting Series A-1 Preferred Stock.

Shareholder Vote:

• Shareholder Vote Record Date: December 18, 2019
