Shineco Announces Reverse Split to Regain NASDAQ Compliance
BEIJING, Nov. 12, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Shineco Inc. (“Shineco” or the “Company”; NASDAQ: SISI), a producer of innovative diagnostic medical products and related medical devices, announced today that effective at 12:01 a.m., EDT, on November 12, 2024, the Company will effect a one-for-twenty four (1-for-24) reverse stock split of its outstanding common stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”).
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 “SISI”. Upon the effectiveness of the Reverse Stock Split, every twenty-four shares of issued and outstanding common stock before the open of business on November 12, 2024, 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 November 12, 2024, on a post-split basis but will trade under a new CUSIP Number, 824567507.
As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, the Company will have 1,613,898 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. 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 and warrants. In addition, the Reverse Stock Split will reduce the number of shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants outstanding immediately prior to the Reverse Stock Split and correspondingly increase the respective aggregate exercise prices. The Reverse Stock Split will affect all holders of the Company’s common stock uniformly and will not alter any stockholder’s percentage interest in the Company’s common stock, except to the extent that the Reverse Stock Split results in some stockholders experiencing an adjustment of a fractional share as described above.
Transhare Corporation is acting as the transfer and exchange agent for the Reverse Stock Split. Registered stockholders who hold shares of the Company’s common stock are not required to take any action to receive post-reverse stock split shares. Stockholders who hold their shares in brokerage accounts or in “street name” will have their positions automatically adjusted to reflect the Reverse Stock Split, subject to each broker’s particular processes, and will not be required to take any action in connection with the Reverse Stock Split.
