• Reverse Stock Split Proposed to Avoid Delisting

  The Board unanimously approved an amendment to effect a reverse stock split at a ratio between 1-for-5 and 1-for-25 to increase the per-share price and maintain Nasdaq listing, following a delisting notice on December 22, 2025. The exact ratio will be determined by the Board.

• Executive Role Change Announced

  Asaf Porat's role as Chief Operating Officer will evolve to focus on longer-term corporate strategy and capital markets, and he will no longer be designated an executive officer or principal operating officer, effective March 17, 2026.

• Performance-Based Equity Awards Forfeited

  Executives' Financial Metric PSUs were forfeited in Q1 2026 due to the company not meeting the Threshold Goal, and rTSR PSUs for 2025 resulted in zero payout due to below-threshold performance, indicating significant underperformance.

• Increased Authorized Shares Post-Split

  The reverse stock split will not reduce the authorized number of shares, resulting in a relative increase in authorized but unissued shares, which could facilitate future capital raises but also increase potential dilution.

Teads Holding Co. is seeking shareholder approval for a reverse stock split, ranging from 1-for-5 to 1-for-25, to increase its per-share price and regain compliance with Nasdaq's minimum bid price requirement. This proposal follows a delisting notice received on December 22, 2025, and is a critical measure to maintain its listing on the Nasdaq Global Select Market. The company recently reported a substantial net loss of $517.1 million for 2025, as detailed in its 10-K filing on March 16, 2026, highlighting its precarious financial position. The proposed reverse split, while aiming to prevent delisting, does not change the company's intrinsic value and carries risks such as negative investor perception and potential further stock price decline. Additionally, the company announced a significant executive role change, with Asaf Porat transitioning from Chief Operating Officer to focus on corporate strategy, and executives forfeited performance-based equity awards due to unmet financial targets, further underscoring recent underperformance.
