NORFOLK, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Greenwave Technology Solutions, Inc. ("Greenwave" or the "Company") (OTCPink:MSRT) is pleased to announce that it will be consolidating all of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company ("Common Shares") on the basis of one (1) post consolidation Common Share for each three hundred (300) pre-consolidation Common Shares (the "Consolidation").
