Analysis · CHSN · Manufacturing
Chanson International Holding is asking Class A shareholders to approve a governance change that would boost the voting power of Class B shares — held entirely by CEO Gang Li — from 50 to 80 votes per share, further concentrating control. At the same time, the board wants authority to execute reverse stock splits at ratios up to 250:1, aiming to lift the stock price above Nasdaq's $1 minimum bid requirement. The company also disclosed that on July 14 the board approved issuing 70,000 Class B shares to Li at $1.17 per share, adding to his voting stake. These moves come just weeks after the CFO resigned and two months after a 1-for-100 reverse split, signaling ongoing governance consolidation and listing pressure.
