Shareholders have approved a reverse stock split, giving the board discretion to implement a ratio between 1-for-5 and 1-for-7. This action is typically taken to increase the per-share price, often to meet exchange listing requirements or improve market perception, especially after the company reported a net loss and revenue decline in Q1 2026. Additionally, the approval of board declassification marks a significant shift in corporate governance, moving towards annual elections for all directors, which generally enhances shareholder accountability and was likely influenced by the recent activist investor agreement.
