Bluejay Diagnostics Announces Reverse Stock Split
June 17 2024 - 8:00AM
Bluejay Diagnostics, Inc. (NASDAQ: BJDX) (“Bluejay” or the
“Company”), a medical technology company developing rapid
diagnostics on its Symphony platform to improve patient outcomes in
critical care settings, today announced that the Company’s Board of
Directors has approved a reverse stock split of its shares of
common stock at a ratio of 1-for-8 (the “Reverse Stock Split”). The
Reverse Stock Split will become effective at 12:01 a.m. Eastern
Time on June 20, 2024, and the Company’s common stock will open for
trading on The Nasdaq Capital Market on a post-split basis on June
20, 2024 under the Company’s existing trading symbol, “BJDX.” At
such time, the Company’s common stock will also commence trading
with a new CUSIP number, 095633400.
At the effective time of the reverse stock
split, every eight (8) shares of Bluejay common stock issued and
outstanding will be combined into one (1) share of common stock
issued and outstanding, with no change to the par value of $0.0001
per share. This will reduce the Company’s outstanding common stock
from approximately 4,511,756 shares to approximately 563,969
shares. No fractional shares of common stock will be issued as a
result of the reverse stock split and instead holders of Bluejay
common stock will receive a cash payment in lieu of fractional
shares to which they would otherwise be entitled. The shares
underlying the Company’s outstanding equity awards and warrants
will also be adjusted accordingly. The reverse stock split affects
all stockholders uniformly and will not alter any stockholder’s
percentage interest in the Company’s common stock, except for
adjustments that may result from the treatment of fractional
shares.
The Company has retained its transfer agent,
Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (“Continental”), to
act as its exchange agent for the reverse stock split. Stockholders
with shares held in certificate form will receive from Continental
instructions regarding the exchange of their certificates.
Stockholders that hold shares in book-entry form or hold their
shares in brokerage accounts are not required to take any action
and will see the impact of the reverse stock split reflected in
their accounts, subject to brokers’ particular processes.
Beneficial holders of Bluejay common stock are encouraged to
contact their bank, broker, custodian or other nominee with
questions regarding procedures for processing the reverse stock
split.
