Yoshiharu's 4-for-1 stock split aims to boost liquidity but doesn't change fundamental company value.

Yoshiharu Global Co. (NASDAQ: YOSH) has announced a 4-for-1 forward stock split for both its Class A and Class B Common Stock. This corporate action means shareholders will receive three additional shares for each share they currently hold, with the record date set for July 28, 2025, and distribution after market close on July 30, 2025.

The split doesn't affect the company's market capitalization or fundamental value - it's simply dividing the same equity into smaller pieces. However, the lower per-share price following the split may make the stock more accessible to retail investors with limited capital, potentially expanding the investor base.

The company explicitly states the split is intended to encourage interest in their stock and promote greater liquidity for existing shareholders. This suggests management may be concerned about current trading volumes or accessibility.

For existing shareholders, this is mostly an accounting change - they'll own four times as many shares, each worth approximately one-quarter of the pre-split price. The split doesn't create new value but may improve trading dynamics. Importantly, the par value remains unchanged at $0.001 per share, and trading under the symbol "YOSH" will continue, with post-split trading beginning July 31, 2025.

VStock Transfer will handle the administrative process, with Yoshiharu covering the costs associated with canceling old certificates and issuing new ones reflecting the 4-for-1 ratio.

BUENA PARK, Calif., July 18, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Yoshiharu Global Co. (NASDAQ: YOSH) ("Yoshiharu" or the "Company"), a restaurant operator specializing in authentic Japanese ramen & rolls, today announced that its Board of Directors authorized the stockholders approved issuance of a stock dividend to effect a 4-for-1 forward stock split (the “Forward Stock Split”) of the Company’s Class A Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class A Common Stock”), and Class B Common Stock (“Forward Stock Split”), whereby for each share of Common Stock held, the holder will receive three additional shares in the respective class.

The Forward Stock Split is intended to encourage interest in our Class A Common Stock and possibly promote greater liquidity for our stockholders.

At the Effective Time of the Forward Stock Split, each holder of one share of Class A Common Stock outstanding on July 28, 2025, the record date for the stock split, will receive a dividend of three additional shares of common stock for each then-held share.
