• Reverse Stock Split Proposed

  Board seeks authority for a reverse split between 1-for-2 and 1-for-15, with discretion to implement before December 17, 2028, to regain Nasdaq's $1.00 minimum bid price compliance.

• Authorized Shares to Double

  Proposal 6 would increase authorized common shares from 50 million to 100 million, giving the board flexibility for future financings but creating significant potential dilution.

• Equity Plan Expansion

  Proposal 3 increases shares reserved under the 2022 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan from 3,091,317 to 6,341,317 — an additional 3.25 million shares for employee and director compensation.

• Nasdaq Delisting Risk

  Company received a delisting notice on August 6, 2026 for failing to maintain a $1.00 minimum bid price; compliance deadline is February 2, 2027, with a possible 180-day extension.

Rocket One is asking shareholders to approve a reverse stock split (up to 1-for-15) and a doubling of authorized shares to 100 million. The reverse split is the company's primary tool to lift its stock price back above Nasdaq's $1.00 minimum bid requirement after receiving a delisting notice in August 2026. The authorized share increase gives the board flexibility for future financings, but it also creates significant potential dilution for existing holders. The equity plan expansion adds 3.25 million shares for compensation, further diluting current shareholders. These proposals are critical because failure to regain compliance by February 2, 2027 could force the stock to the OTC markets, reducing liquidity and investor access.
