• Reverse Split Effective August 13

  A 1-for-12 reverse stock split becomes effective at 12:01 a.m. ET on August 13, 2026, reducing outstanding shares from 56.9M to approximately 4.74M.

• Authorized Shares Cut to 24.8M

  Authorized common stock is reduced proportionally from 297,225,000 to 24,768,750 shares, limiting future dilution headroom.

• Nasdaq Compliance Bid

  The reverse split aims to lift the stock price above $1 to meet Nasdaq's minimum bid price rule by the August 31, 2026 deadline; a separate $35M market value requirement remains unmet.

• Fractional Share Cash-Out

  Stockholders holding fractional shares post-split will receive cash based on the closing market price on the effective date, rather than rounded-up shares.

To regain compliance with Nasdaq's $1 minimum bid price by the August 31 deadline, SolarMax Technology is executing a 1-for-12 reverse stock split effective August 13, 2026. The filing discloses a proportional reduction in authorized shares from 297.2 million to 24.8 million, which still leaves room for future dilution but on a much smaller scale. Post-split, outstanding shares drop to approximately 4.7 million. While the reverse split was previously announced, this 8-K adds the authorized share cut and exact post-split share count — details that matter for assessing the company's capital structure and dilution potential. The company still faces a separate $35 million market value listing requirement, which this split does not address.
