Meiwu Technology Company (NASDAQ: WNW) ha annunciato uno split inverso delle azioni 1-per-20 delle sue azioni ordinarie, approvato dal Consiglio di Amministrazione il 5 marzo 2025. Lo split entrerà in vigore il 1 aprile 2025, riducendo le azioni in circolazione da circa 63,3 milioni a 3,2 milioni.
In base a questo accordo, gli azionisti riceveranno una nuova azione ordinaria per ogni venti azioni detenute.

Lo split inverso regolerà proporzionalmente le opzioni azionarie e le azioni riservate in circolazione dell'azienda, con le frazioni di azioni arrotondate all'azione intera più vicina. Gli azionisti che detengono azioni in forma elettronica non devono intraprendere alcuna azione, mentre coloro che possiedono certificati fisici riceveranno nuovi certificati tramite TranShare.

Meiwu Technology Company (NASDAQ: WNW)는 2025년 3월 5일 이사회에서 승인된 1대 20 비율의 주식 분할을 발표했습니다. 이 분할은 2025년 4월 1일에 시행되며, 발행 주식 수가 약 6,330만 주에서 320만 주로 줄어듭니다.
이 조치에 따라 주주들은 보유한 20주당 1주의 새로운 보통주를 받게 됩니다. 분할로 인해 거래 가격이 분할 전 가격의 약 20배로 증가할 것으로 예상되지만, 회사는 이 가격 비율을 유지하거나 분할 전 거래 수준을 초과할 것을 보장할 수 없습니다.
비율 분할은 회사의 발행 주식 옵션과 제한 주식을 비례적으로 조정하며, 분할된 주식의 소수점 주식은 가장 가까운 정수 주식으로 반올림됩니다. 전자적으로 장부 형태로 주식을 보유한 주주는 별도의 조치를 취할 필요가 없으며, 물리적 증서를 보유한 주주는 TranShare를 통해 새로운 증서를 받게 됩니다.

Meiwu Technology's announcement of a 1-for-20 reverse stock split represents a significant structural change that warrants investor attention. With the current share price at
This aggressive consolidation ratio is notably steep compared to typical reverse splits (often 1-for-2 to 1-for-10). While the company doesn't explicitly state the reason, reverse splits of this magnitude are typically implemented when companies need to boost their share price to maintain exchange listing requirements—NASDAQ generally requires stocks to maintain a
The reduction from 63.3 million to 3.2 million outstanding shares doesn't change the company's market capitalization (approximately
From a market perception standpoint, such dramatic reverse splits often signal underlying challenges. The micro-cap status and penny stock price suggest a company struggling to attract investor interest. Without accompanying positive fundamental news to support the split, historical patterns indicate these maneuvers frequently fail to create sustainable price improvements and can lead to renewed selling pressure.
SHENZHEN, China, March 28, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Meiwu Technology Company Limited (NASDAQ: WNW) ("WNW" or the "Company"), announced today that an 1 for 20 reverse share split of its ordinary shares, no par value each, (the “Ordinary Shares”) was approved by the Company’s Board of Directors on March 5, 2025. In connection with the reverse share split, the Company’s shareholders will receive one new Ordinary Share of the Company for every twenty Ordinary Shares they hold. The Company’s Ordinary Shares are expected to begin trading on a split-adjusted basis when the market opens on April 1, 2025.
The reverse share split is expected to lead the Company’s Ordinary Shares to trade at approximately twenty times the price per share at which the Ordinary Shares trade prior to the effectiveness of the reverse share split. The Company, however, cannot assure that the price of its Ordinary Shares after the reverse split will reflect the 1 for 20 reverse split ratio, that the price per share following the effective time of the reverse split will be maintained for any period of time, or that the price will remain above the pre-split trading price.
As of March 21, 2025, there were approximately 63.3 million of the Company’s Ordinary Shares outstanding. Effecting the 1 for 20 reverse split will reduce that amount to approximately 3.2 million. The reverse split will not change the number of the Company’s authorized shares.
Treatment of Stock Options and Restricted Shares
The number of Ordinary Shares into which the Company’s outstanding stock options and restricted shares as well as the options’ relevant exercise price per share will be proportionally adjusted to reflect the reverse split.
Fractional Shares
Any fractional shares that would have resulted because of the Reverse Split will be rounded up to the nearest whole share on the broker’s level.
New Ordinary Share Certificates
Certificates reflecting the new share number will be issued in due course as old share certificates are tendered for exchange or transfer to the Company’s transfer agent, TranShare Corporation (“TranShare”). Registered shareholders holding pre-split shares of the Company's Ordinary Shares electronically in book-entry form are not required to take any action to receive post-split shares. Shareholders who hold their shares through a securities broker or nominee (i.e., in “street name”) will be contacted by their brokers or nominees with any instructions. For more information, shareholders and securities brokers should contact TranShare at (303) 662-1112.
