-
Reverse Stock Split Approved
The Board and majority shareholders have approved a reverse stock split with a ratio between 1-for-25 and 1-for-200, to be determined and implemented within 12 months. This follows the preliminary filing on March 24, 2026.
-
Nasdaq Delisting Threat
The primary purpose of the reverse split is to increase the stock price to meet Nasdaq's $1.00 minimum bid price requirement, following a delisting notice received on December 10, 2025. The company has until June 8, 2026, to regain compliance.
-
No Guarantee of Compliance
The company explicitly states there is no assurance the split will result in a sustained higher stock price, long-term Nasdaq listing, or improved liquidity, and warns of potential for lower market capitalization.
-
Authorized Shares Unchanged
The number of authorized shares remains 500,000,000, which could lead to significant dilution if new shares are issued post-split.

This definitive information statement confirms the Board's and majority shareholders' approval for a reverse stock split, with a ratio ranging from 1-for-25 to 1-for-200, to be implemented within 12 months. This action is a direct response to the Nasdaq minimum bid price requirement, which the company failed to meet, as previously disclosed in its 10-K filing on March 20, 2026. While necessary to potentially regain Nasdaq compliance, the filing explicitly warns that the split does not guarantee a sustained higher stock price or long-term listing, and could lead to reduced liquidity and a lower overall market capitalization. This move is critical for the company's immediate listing survival, but it highlights ongoing financial distress and the challenges of maintaining exchange compliance.
