1-for-20 Reverse Split Effective Sept 22
Board fixed the ratio at 1-for-20 (from the approved up to 1-for-250), effective 12:01 a.m. ET on September 22, 2026. Outstanding shares drop from ~47.5M to ~2.4M.
-
Nasdaq Compliance Motive
The split is primarily intended to lift the share price above the $1.00 minimum bid requirement. Current price is $0.294, and the company warns there is no assurance the increase will be sustained.
-
Warrant Exercise Price Adjusted
Public Warrants (VWAVW) will be exercisable for 1/20 of a share with the exercise price proportionately adjusted to $230.00 per whole share, up from $11.50.
-
Dilution Headroom Expands
Authorized shares remain 150M common against only ~2.4M outstanding post-split, substantially increasing authorized-but-unissued shares available for future dilutive issuances.
Analysis · VWAV · Technology
VisionWave is executing a 1-for-20 reverse stock split effective September 22, 2026, reducing outstanding shares from approximately 47.5 million to 2.4 million. The move is aimed at lifting the stock price above Nasdaq's $1.00 minimum bid requirement — the shares currently trade at $0.294, far below the threshold. The split itself does not change any shareholder's percentage ownership, but it leaves 150 million authorized shares against only 2.4 million outstanding, creating substantial headroom for future dilutive issuances. Public warrants will be adjusted to a $230.00 exercise price per whole share, reflecting the 20:1 ratio. The company has been under severe listing pressure, and this is a mechanical step to buy time — not a fundamental improvement.
