Reverse Split Ratio Increased to 1-for-125
The board amended the previously announced 1-for-50 reverse split to a 1-for-125 ratio, effective July 20, 2026, to raise the stock price above $1.00 and regain Nasdaq compliance.
-
Nasdaq Delisting Risk Remains
The company must trade above $1.00 for 10 consecutive days post-split to regain compliance; failure would likely result in delisting to the OTC market.
-
Financial Distress Context
The split comes amid a going-concern warning, a $4.5M dilutive financing in June, and a 30-million-share resale registration that could flood the market.
-
No Change to Authorized Shares
The reverse split does not alter the 150 million authorized common shares or the 10 million preferred shares, leaving ample headroom for future dilution.
Analysis · DFNS · Trade & Services
T3 Defense is executing a 1-for-125 reverse stock split effective July 20, a drastic increase from the previously announced 1-for-50 ratio. The move is designed to push the stock price above $1.00 to meet Nasdaq's minimum bid requirement, but the extreme ratio signals the depth of the company's distress — the stock was trading at just $0.0656 pre-split. Even after the split, the company must hold above $1.00 for 10 consecutive trading days, a challenge given its going-concern warning, recent dilutive financings, and heavy selling pressure from a 30-million-share resale registration. The split itself does not change ownership percentages, but it is a last-ditch effort to avoid delisting, and failure to sustain compliance would likely force the stock to the OTC market.
