Reverse Split Authorization Requested
The board approved a framework for one or more reverse splits at not less than 1-for-2 and a cumulative maximum of 1-for-250, to be effected at the board's discretion within 18 months of the November 10, 2026 meeting.
-
Nasdaq $1 Bid Price Is the Driver
The filing cites Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), which requires a $1.00 minimum bid price; with the stock trading around $0.45, a split is the route to avoid a deficiency notice.
-
Authorized Capital Stays at 100M Shares
A reverse split would not reduce the 100,000,000 authorized Ordinary Shares, leaving a larger pool of authorized-but-unissued shares for future financing, equity compensation or acquisitions — the filing itself notes future issuances may dilute existing holders.

Vote Set for November 10, 2026
Special General Meeting at 3:00 p.m. Israel time; record date October 23, 2026; approval requires a simple majority of votes cast, and the board unanimously recommends FOR.
Analysis · MTEK · Manufacturing
Shareholders are being asked to give the board authority for one or more reverse splits totaling as much as 1-for-250, usable any time in the next 18 months. The stated reason is Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), which requires a $1.00 minimum bid price; with the stock trading around $0.45, a split is the mechanical route to avoid a delisting notice. The structure matters: the board gets discretion over ratio and timing rather than a fixed ratio, and because authorized capital stays at 100,000,000 shares, a split would leave far more authorized-but-unissued shares available for future financing. That is a dilution overhang layered on a company that has already flagged going concern and run a $3M at-the-market program since March 2026. The vote is set for November 10, 2026, with a record date of October 23, 2026.
