LuxUrban Hotels Inc. Announces Reverse Stock Split and Nasdaq Compliance Approval
November 15 2024 - 4:30PM
LuxUrban Hotels Inc. (Nasdaq: LUXH), a hospitality company that
leases entire hotels on a long-term basis, manages these hotels,
and rents out rooms to guests in the properties it leases, today
announced that it will effectuate a one-for-seventy (1:70) reverse
stock split of its common stock. This reverse stock split was
approved by stockholders at the special meeting held on November
12, 2024, and will be effective at the opening of trading on
November 20, 2024.
The reverse stock split is part of LuxUrban Hotels’ strategy to
strengthen its position within the Nasdaq Capital Markets, improve
the stock's trading profile, and position the company for future
growth and expansion opportunities. Following the reverse split,
the number of shares of common stock issued and outstanding will be
reduced from approximately 151.85 million to approximately 2.17
million shares.
In addition, stockholders approved a proposal to waive the
19.99% share limitation under Nasdaq Rule 5635(d), allowing the
company to issue additional shares of common stock upon the
conversion of certain convertible promissory notes and the exercise
of outstanding warrants. This approval enables LuxUrban to maintain
its compliance with Nasdaq listing standards while maximizing the
flexibility of its financing arrangements.
Key details of the reverse stock split
include:
- Ratio: 1-for-70, meaning stockholders will
receive one share for every 70 shares held.
- Effective Date: November 20, 2024, at the
market open.
- CUSIP: The new CUSIP number for the post-split
common stock will be 21985R303.
The trading symbol for LuxUrban's common stock on the Nasdaq
Capital Market will remain “LUXH.” Stockholders who would own a
fraction of a share as a result of the reverse stock split will
instead receive cash in lieu of a fractional share.
Michael James, Chief Financial Officer of LuxUrban
Hotels, commented: "The approval of the reverse stock
split and Nasdaq compliance proposal marks a significant step in
our ongoing efforts to drive shareholder value. We appreciate the
support of our stockholders and remain committed to our vision of
becoming a leader in the urban lodging market."

Securities and Exchange Commission on October 29, 2024, and the
related 8-K filing dated November 15, 2024.
LuxUrban Hotels Inc.LuxUrban Hotels Inc.
secures long-term operating rights for entire hotels through Master
Lease Agreements (MLA) and rents out, on a short-term basis, hotel
rooms to business and vacation travelers. The Company is
strategically building a portfolio of hotel properties in
destination cities by capitalizing on the dislocation in commercial
real estate markets and the large amount of debt maturity
obligations on those assets coming due with a lack of available
options for owners of those assets. LuxUrban’s MLA allows owners to
hold onto their assets and retain their equity value while LuxUrban
operates and owns the cash flows of the operating business for the
life of the MLA.
