Rapid Therapeutic Science Laboratories Announces 1-for-25 Reverse Stock Split

DALLAS, Texas, March 31, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Rapid Therapeutic Science Laboratories, Inc. (OTC: RTSL) (“Rapid Therapeutic” or the “Company”), a growth-oriented aerosol manufacturing company focused on delivery of non-psychoactive cannabinoid compounds, announces today it has effected a 1-for-25 reverse split of its common stock effective March 31, 2022. Commencing with the opening of trading on the OTC Market on March 31, 2022, the Company’s common stock will trade on a post-split basis under the symbol ‘RTSLD’ for 20 business days and thereafter will revert to ‘RTSL’. The Company also increased its authorized shares of common stock to 800,000,000 shares of common stock effective at the same time. The reverse stock split was implemented by the Company as one measure in its pursuit of up-listing its common stock to the Nasdaq Capital Market.

“This is an essential part of our ongoing efforts to up-list to the Nasdaq Capital Market and we are very excited to have taken this next step toward that goal,” commented Donal Schmidt, CEO of Rapid Therapeutic, who continued, “We believe that this step has the potential of increasing market awareness and attracting additional investors. Moving forward, we anticipate additional milestones both from a financial and a business perspective with the goal of increasing shareholder value.”

As a result of the reverse stock split, the CUSIP number for the Company’s common stock will now be 753431204 and every 25 shares of issued and outstanding common stock will be exchanged for 1 share of common stock, with any fractional shares being rounded up to the next higher whole share.

Immediately after the reverse stock split becoming effective, the Company will have approximately 7,746,676 shares of common stock issued and outstanding (without factoring in for any rounding). Proportional adjustments will be made to the number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Company’s outstanding stock options, warrants and convertible securities, as well as the applicable exercise price and conversion price thereof. The reverse stock split will not have any effect on the par value of the common stock or preferred stock, the authorized shares of preferred stock, or any previously designated shares of preferred stock, except to the extent the conversion ratio thereof is adjusted as a result of such reverse stock split.

The reverse stock split was approved by stockholders holding a majority of the Company’s voting power on January 11, 2022. The reverse stock split impacts all holders of the Company’s common stock proportionally and will not impact any shareholder’s percentage ownership of common stock (except to the extent of the rounding described above).

Before the listing of the Company’s common stock on The Nasdaq Capital Market can occur, the Company will need to meet Nasdaq’s requirements for uplisting and Nasdaq will need to approve the Company’s application for listing. There can be no assurance that the Company will meet the up-listing criteria or that the Company’s Nasdaq listing application will be approved on a timely basis or at all.

Shareholders with book-entry shares or who hold their shares through a bank, broker or other nominee will have their positions automatically adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split, subject to the broker’s or nominee’s particular procedures for processing the reverse stock split, and will not be required to take any action in connection with the reverse stock split. The Company’s record shareholders should contact their broker or the Company’s transfer agent, Securities Transfer Corporation, at (469) 633-0101, for any necessary assistance relating to the reverse stock split.

Additional information regarding the reverse stock split is available in the Form 8-K filed today by the Company.
