Rubico Sets 1-for-25 Reverse Split With Shares at $0.15
RUBI is trading near its 52-week low of $0.14 (7.9% above the low) on light trading volume (0.3× avg).
Summary
Rubico will consolidate its shares 1-for-25, effective Oct. 30, cutting issued shares from 13,517,355 to about 540,694 and stated capital from about $135,173.55 to about $5,406.94, with a new CUSIP of Y1250N 305. The move lifts the trading price from roughly $0.15 to about $3.78 on a post-split basis and typically precedes a Nasdaq minimum-bid compliance push. The company has been funding itself aggressively: an $8.5M first tranche of a $15M convertible note with a VWAP-reset conversion and a $0.10 floor closed October 19, on top of a $25M at-the-market program and a $200M shelf. Those instruments add supply, and a reverse split shrinks the share count without changing the underlying dilution math. The split also follows a 1.5-for-1 forward split executed October 6, so the share structure has now been reworked twice in under a month. Watch for any Nasdaq notice tied to the split; the convertible note's $0.10 floor becomes a much larger percentage move once the new share count is in place.
