Brooklyn, NY, Jan. 20, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — – Cemtrex Inc. (NASDAQ: CETX, CETXP), an advanced security technology and industrial services company, today announced that effective at 12:01 a.m., EDT, on January 23, 2023, the Company will effect a thirty five-for-one (35 to 1) reverse stock split of its outstanding common stock.
The reverse stock split is primarily intended to bring the Company into compliance with the minimum average closing share price requirement for maintaining its listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market. The Company’s common stock will continue to trade under the symbol “CETX”. Upon the effectiveness of the reverse stock split, every thirty five shares of issued and outstanding common stock before the open of business on January 23, 2023 will be combined into one issued and outstanding share of common stock, with no change in par value per share. The Company’s common stock will open for trading on Nasdaq on January 23, 2023 on a post-split basis but will trade under a new CUSIP Number, 15130G 709.
The reverse stock split will reduce the number of shares of the Company’s outstanding common stock from approximately 27,778,856 million shares to approximately 793,682 million shares. No fractional shares will be issued as a result of the reverse stock split. Any fractional shares that would result from the reverse stock split will be rounded up to the nearest whole share.
The reverse stock split will affect all issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common shares, as well as the number of shares of common shares available for issuance under the Company’s stock options. In addition, the reverse stock split will reduce the number of shares of common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options outstanding immediately prior to the reverse split and correspondingly increase the respective exercise prices. The reverse stock split will affect all shareholders uniformly and will not alter any shareholder’s percentage interest in the Company’s equity, except to the extent that the reverse stock split results in some shareholders experiencing an adjustment of a fractional share as described above.
Shareholders holding share certificates will receive information from Clear Trust, LLC the Company’s transfer agent, regarding the process for exchanging their shares of common stock. Shareholders with questions may contact our transfer agent by calling 813-235-4490.
