Toro Sets October 1 Record Date for AI OKTO Spin-off, 1-for-8 Distribution
TORO has more than doubled off its 52-week low of $2.95.
Summary
Toro Corp. has set October 1, 2026 as the record date for the spin-off of its LPG carrier business into AI OKTO Corp., with distribution expected on or about October 8. Shareholders will receive one AI OKTO share for every eight Toro shares held. The announcement follows the initial spin-off proposal on September 9 and provides concrete dates and the exchange ratio, moving the transaction from concept to execution. Due bill trading procedures will apply from the record date through the distribution date, meaning buyers during that period will receive the spin-off shares while sellers will not. The spin-off remains subject to SEC effectiveness and Nasdaq listing approval, but the specific timeline reduces uncertainty and allows investors to position accordingly.
At the time of this announcement, TORO was trading at $5.90 on NASDAQ in the Energy & Transportation sector, with a market capitalization of approximately $203.9M. The 52-week trading range was $2.95 to $8.50. This news item was assessed with neutral market sentiment and an importance score of 7 out of 10. Source: GlobeNewswire.
