Versus Systems Announces 1-For-16 Reverse Stock Split to Aid Compliance with Nasdaq Listing Requirements
December 22 2023 - 4:05PM
Versus Systems Inc. (“Versus” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: VS)
announced today that its Board of Directors has approved a 1-for-16
reverse split of its common shares (the “Consolidation”) to comply
with Nasdaq’s listing requirements. The Consolidation is effective
as of the close of trading on December 28, 2023.
As a result of the Consolidation, every 16 common shares of the
Company will be converted into one common share, reducing the
number of issued and outstanding common shares from approximately
40.1 million to approximately 2.5 million. No fractional common
shares will be issued in connection with the Consolidation, and any
fractional shares created as a result of the Consolidation will be
rounded to the nearest whole common share. The number of Versus’
common shares issuable upon vesting or the exercise of equity
awards, such as stock options and other derivative securities,
along with the corresponding exercise prices thereof, will each be
proportionally adjusted.
Versus expects its common shares to commence trading on a
split-adjusted basis as of the open of trading on December 29,
2023.
A letter of transmittal will be sent by mail to shareholders
advising them that the Consolidation has taken effect and
instructing them to surrender the certificates evidencing their
common shares for replacement certificates representing the number
of common shares to which they are entitled as a result of the
Consolidation. Until surrendered, each certificate formerly
representing common shares will be deemed for all purposes to
represent the number of common shares to which the holder thereof
is entitled as a result of the Consolidation.
The Company’s common shares will trade under a new CUSIP number
92535P873 following the effectiveness of the Consolidation.
