Insights

Financial Market Analyst

Twin Vee's announcement of a 1-for-10 reverse stock split is primarily a compliance-driven corporate action aimed at maintaining its Nasdaq Capital Market listing. With the current share price at $0.32, well below Nasdaq's $1.00 minimum requirement, this maneuver will mechanically boost the trading price to approximately $3.20 post-split.

This action reduces the company's outstanding shares from 14.9 million to 1.5 million while leaving the total market capitalization unchanged at roughly $4.9 million. The micro-cap boat manufacturer is clearly taking necessary steps to avoid delisting, which would significantly impact liquidity and institutional investor access.

While reverse splits don't fundamentally alter company value, they often carry negative market perception as they're typically implemented by struggling companies. However, maintaining Nasdaq listing provides tangible benefits including better trading liquidity, broader investor exposure, and improved capital raising capabilities.

For existing shareholders, this is a mechanical adjustment that shouldn't directly impact the value of their holdings, though they should note the treatment of fractional shares will result in cash payments rather than partial shares. The unchanged authorized share count of 50 million (now representing 10x the previous per-share value) maintains significant potential dilution capacity relative to the reduced outstanding share count.

Common Stock Will Begin Trading on a Split-Adjusted Basis on April 8, 2025

FORT PIERCE, FL / ACCESS Newswire / April 4, 2025 / Twin Vee PowerCats Co. (NASDAQ:VEEE) ("Twin Vee" or the "Company"), a manufacturer, distributor, and marketer of power sport boats, today announced that it will implement a 1-for-10 reverse stock split of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company's common stock (the "Reverse Stock Split"), effective 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on April 7, 2025, and the Company's common stock will begin trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market on a split-adjusted basis at the opening of the market on April 8, 2025 under the existing ticker symbol "VEEE."

The Reverse Stock Split was approved by the Company's stockholders at the Company's 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on November 11, 2024 (the "2024 Annual Meeting"). At the 2024 Annual Meeting, the Company's stockholders voted in favor of an amendment to the Company's Certificate of Incorporation, as amended (the "Certificate of Incorporation"), at the discretion of the Twin Vee Board of Directors (the "Board"), to effect a reverse stock split with respect to the issued and outstanding shares of the Twin Vee common stock, at a ratio of 1-for-2 to 1-for-20 (the "Reverse Stock Split Range"), with the Board having the discretion as to whether or not the Reverse Stock Split is to be effected, and the exact ratio to be set at a whole number within the Reverse Stock Split Range. On March 17, 2025, the Board exercised such discretion to effect the Reverse Stock Split at a ratio of 1-for-10 shares of common stock.

The 1-for-10 Reverse Stock Split will reduce the number of outstanding shares of the Company's common stock from approximately 14,874,452 shares to approximately 1,487,445 shares. Proportional adjustments will be made to the number of shares of Twin Vee common stock issuable upon exercise or conversion of Twin Vee's outstanding equity awards and warrants, as well as the applicable exercise price. The number of authorized shares of Twin Vee's common stock will remain unchanged at 50,000,000 shares, and the par value of the common stock will remain unchanged at $0.001 per share.

The primary purpose of the 1-for-10 Reverse Stock Split is to raise the per-share trading price of the Company's common stock to allow for its continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market, among other benefits. The Nasdaq Capital Market requires, among other things, that a listing a company's common stock maintain a minimum bid price of at least $1.00 per share.

The CUSIP number for Twin Vee's common stock will change to 90177C200 following the Reverse Stock Split.
