Key Events
-
Shareholders to Vote on Reverse Stock Split
An Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) is scheduled for March 6, 2026, for shareholders to consider and vote on a share consolidation (reverse stock split) at a ratio of 2:1 up to 100:1.
-
Aims to Regain Nasdaq Compliance
The proposed reverse stock split is intended to increase the per-share trading price to meet Nasdaq's $1.00 minimum bid price requirement and avoid delisting, following a prior delisting notice.
-
Follows Prior Insufficient Reverse Split
The company previously effected a 10-for-1 reverse stock split on April 1, 2025, which was not sufficient to maintain compliance with Nasdaq listing standards.
-
Increase in Authorized Class B Shares
Shareholders will also vote on increasing the authorized Class B ordinary share capital from 2,000,000 to 12,000,000 shares.
Analysis
Linkage Global Inc. is calling an Extraordinary General Meeting to seek shareholder approval for a highly dilutive reverse stock split, ranging from 2:1 to 100:1. This move is a direct response to the company's ongoing struggle to meet Nasdaq's minimum bid price requirement, following a prior 10-for-1 reverse split in April 2025 that proved insufficient. The proposal comes shortly after the company reported a 50% revenue drop and a 1577% increase in net loss in its recent 20-F filing, which also disclosed a Nasdaq delisting notice. The repeated need for such drastic measures, coupled with the company's acknowledgment of new Nasdaq rules that could limit future compliance periods, signals severe financial distress and a high risk of delisting, which would significantly impair liquidity and access to capital.
