Reverse Stock Split Approved
Shareholders approved a 1-for-8 reverse stock split, a necessary step for the company to regain Nasdaq compliance. This follows the proposal announced on April 21, 2026.

Authorized Share Capital Doubled

Class B Voting Rights Significantly Increased
The voting rights of Class B Ordinary Shares were increased from 10 votes per share to 100 votes per share, further concentrating voting power with Class B shareholders.
Analysis · CUPR · Industrial Applications And Services
Shareholders have approved a 1-for-8 reverse stock split, which is a critical step for the company to regain Nasdaq compliance. Concurrently, they approved a doubling of the authorized share capital post-split and granted the board broad authority to issue new shares, potentially leading to over 360% dilution of existing shareholders. Furthermore, the voting power of Class B Ordinary Shares was increased from 10 votes to 100 votes per share, significantly entrenching control with Class B shareholders. These approvals set the stage for substantial future capital raises that will likely be highly dilutive, while also concentrating voting power.
