The reverse stock split will not change the authorized number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock. No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the reverse stock split and all such fractional interests will be rounded up to the nearest whole number of shares of Common Stock. Further, no current owner of 100 or more shares will be reduced to less than 100 shares. In addition, the reverse stock split will apply to the Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Company’s outstanding derivative securities, with proportionate adjustments to be made to the exercise prices and number of derivates thereof and under the Company’s equity incentive plans.
- Round Lot Shareholder Protection to ensure that shareholders holding a "round lot" (typically 100 shares) are not adversely affected by the split.
| Example #1: If a shareholder holds 100 shares on the effective date, due to the Round Lot Shareholder Protection they will own 100 shares post-split after DTC/CEDE additional share issuance. | ||
| The 100 shares pre-reverse would be adjusted via the 1:25 Ratio to one (1) share of common stock. An Additional 99 shares of common stock will be issued as per the Round Lot Shareholder Protection bringing the total to 100 shares of common stock. | ||
| Example #2: If a shareholder holds 1,250 shares on the effective date, due to the Round Lot Shareholder Protection they will own 100 shares post-split after DTC/CEDE additional share issuance. | ||
| The 1,250 shares pre-reverse would be adjusted via the 1:25 Ratio to fifty (50) shares of common stock. An Additional 50 shares of common stock will be issued as per the Round Lot Shareholder Protection bringing the total to 100 shares of common stock. | ||
- All Fractional Shares Rounded to nearest whole number. As a result of the reverse stock split all fractional interests will be rounded up to the nearest whole number
| Example #1: If a shareholder holds 40 shares on the effective date, due to the Fractional Share Rounding, they will own two (2) shares post-split after DTC/CEDE additional share issuance including fractional shares. | ||
| The 40 shares pre-reverse would be adjusted via the 1:25 Ratio to 1.6 share of common stock. An Additional 0.6 share of common stock will be issued as per the Fractional Share Rounding bringing the total to 2 shares of common stock. | ||
The Company is committed to pro-actively protecting the interests of its stockholders, particularly those owning round lots of 100 or more shares. Stockholders holding at least 100 shares prior to the reverse stock split will retain a minimum of 100 shares post-split. This protection ensures that no stockholder who currently qualifies as a round lot holder will lose their status. Additionally, fractional shares resulting from the reverse stock split will be rounded up to the nearest whole share to maintain liquidity and shareholder equity.
The reverse stock split will reduce the number of issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock from approximately 15.0 million to approximately 600 thousand, which does not include shares to be issued pursuant to the round lot rounding set forth above.
On February 24, 2025, the stockholders of the Company approved a Certificate of Amendment to the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation to effect a reverse stock split of the Common Stock, at a ratio of up to 1-for-25, with such ratio to be determined in the sole discretion of the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) and with the reverse stock split to be effected at such time and date, if at all, as determined by the Board in its sole discretion at any time within twelve (12) months of such stockholder approval. The Board approved the reverse stock split at a ratio of 1-for-25 on March 12, 2025.
Securities Transfer Corporation is acting as the exchange agent and paying agent for the reverse stock split. Stockholders holding their shares in book-entry form or in brokerage accounts need not take any action in connection with the reverse stock split.
The standard procedure is that DTC gathers all round up share requests from each participant within their system. After about 4 business DTC will send a request for the total amount of round up shares needed to cover all participants/beneficial holders. At that time, our transfer agent will make one issuance/deposit to CEDE (DTC).
- Round up shares should populate in participant/beneficial holder accounts approximately on or before ten (10) trading days post the Reverse Stock Split.
Securities Transfer Corporation will provide instructions to any stockholders with certificates regarding the process in connection with the exchange of pre-reverse stock split stock certificates for ownership in book-entry form or stock certificates on a post-reverse stock split basis. Stockholders are encouraged to contact their bank, broker or custodian with any procedural questions.
As of March 26, 2025, the Company had 14,964,566 shares of common stock issued and outstanding.
