Miami FL, April 30, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Safe & Green Holdings Corp. (NASDAQ: SGBX) (“Safe & Green Holdings” or the “Company”), a leading developer, designer, and fabricator of modular structures for residential, commercial, and point-of-care medicine, today announced a planned reverse stock split of its shares of common stock at a ratio of 1-for-20. The reverse stock split will take effect as of 12:01 a.m. ET, on Thursday, May 2, 2024, and shares of Safe and Green Holdings will trade on a post-split basis on Nasdaq under the existing trading symbol, “SGBX,” at the market open on May 2, 2024.
At the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders held December 6, 2023, stockholders approved an amendment to the Company’s certificate of incorporation to implement a reverse stock split at a ratio of 1-for-10 to 1-for-20 and granted the board of directors the authority to implement and determine the exact split ratio within such range, which was subsequently set by the board at a ratio of 1-for-20. Following the reverse stock split, the new CUSIP number of the common stock will be 78418A604, with the par value per share of common stock remaining at $0.01. A proportionate adjustment will be made to the per-share exercise prices and number of shares issuable under all outstanding options, warrants, and equity awards.
Paul Galvin, Chairperson and CEO of Safe and Green, commented, “The reverse split is being implemented because we believe it will allow us to meet Nasdaq’s minimum bid price requirements, among other listing requirements. In addition, we anticipate that the increased market price of the common stock expected as a result of the reverse stock split could improve the marketability of the Company’s shares as well as tighten our public float and enhance our capital structure. We continue to execute on our business model and remain highly optimistic about the prospects of the Company.”
When the reverse stock split becomes effective, every 20 shares of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock will be combined into one share of common stock. Each stockholder’s percentage ownership interest in Safe and Green Holdings will remain unchanged after the reverse stock split.
No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the reverse stock split. Stockholders of record will receive a cash payment in lieu of fractional shares to which they would otherwise be entitled. Stockholders, either as direct or beneficial owners, will not be required to take any action following the reverse stock split and will have their holdings electronically adjusted by the Company’s transfer agent, Equiniti Trust Company LLC (and for beneficial holders by their brokers or banks). Additionally, beneficial holders may contact their bank, broker, custodian, or other nominee with any questions regarding processing procedures for the reverse stock split and payment for fractional shares.
