Cemtrex Announces 1-For-35 Reverse Stock Split
November 21 2024 - 4:15PM
- Cemtrex Inc. (NASDAQ: CETX, CETXP), an advanced security
technology and industrial services company, today announced that
its Board of Directors authorized the stockholders approved
1-for-35 reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”) of its
common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”).
The Reverse Stock Split will become effective at
12:01 a.m. Eastern Time on November 26, 2024 (the “Effective
Time”). The Common Stock will continue to trade on The Nasdaq
Capital Market under the symbol “CETX” and will begin trading on a
post-split basis when the market opens on November 26, 2024. The
new CUSIP number for the Common Stock following the Reverse Stock
Split will be 15130G881.
The Reverse Stock Split is intended to enable
the Company to regain compliance with the minimum closing bid price
requirement for continued listing on Nasdaq.
At the Effective Time of the Reverse Stock
Split, every 35 shares of the Company’s issued and outstanding
Common Stock will be combined into one share of Common Stock issued
and outstanding, with no change to the par value of $0.001 per
share. No fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued as a
result of the Reverse Stock Split and instead each holder of Common
Stock who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fractional share
as a result of the Reverse Stock Split will receive one whole share
of Common Stock in lieu of such fractional share.
The principal effect of the Reverse Split will
be that (i) the number of shares of common stock issued and
outstanding will be reduced to one-thirty-fifth that amount, and
(ii) all outstanding options and warrants (other than the
Adjustable Warrants) entitling the holders thereof to purchase
shares of common stock will enable such holders to purchase, upon
exercise of their options or warrants, one-twentieth of the number
of shares of common stock which such holders would have been able
to purchase upon exercise of their options or warrants, immediately
preceding the Reverse Split at an exercise price equal to 35 times
the exercise price specified before the Reverse Split, resulting in
essentially the same aggregate price being required to be paid
therefor upon exercise thereof immediately preceding the Reverse
Split. Other awards under our 2020 Equity Compensation Plan would
be subject to proportionate adjustments.
ClearTrust, LLC is acting as transfer and
exchange agent for the Reverse Stock Split. Stockholders with
shares held in certificated form will receive from ClearTrust, LLC
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 Common Stock are encouraged to contact their
bank, broker, custodian or other nominee with questions regarding
procedures for processing the Reverse Stock Split.
