Scorpius Holdings Announces Reverse Stock Split
DURHAM, N.C., July 17, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Scorpius Holdings, Inc (NYSE American: SCPX) (“Scorpius” or “the Company”), an integrated contract development and manufacturing organization (“CDMO”), today announced that the Company’s Board of Directors approved a 1-for-200 reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”) of the Company’s common stock (the “Common Stock”), to increase the selling price of the Company’s Common Stock in order to regain compliance with the requirements and policies of the NYSE American. However, there can be no assurance that that the Reverse Stock Split will increase the Company’s stock price sufficiently in order to meet any requirements and policies of the NYSE American.
The Reverse Stock Split will take legal effect at 11:01 P.M. Eastern Time on July 17, 2024, and the Company's Common Stock will open for trading on the OTC Markets on July 18, 2024, on a post-split basis, under the existing ticker symbol "SCPX" but with new CUSIP number 42237K508.
At Scorpius Holdings, Inc’s Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the “Annual Meeting”) held on July 15, 2024, the Company’s stockholders approved a proposal to amend the Company’s certificate of incorporation to effect a reverse stock split of its Common Stock at a ratio of between 1-for-5 to 1-for-200, with the ratio within such range to be determined at the discretion of the Company’s Board. Following the Annual Meeting, the Board approved a final split ratio of 1-for-200. Following the Reverse Stock Split, the ownership percentage of each stockholder will remain unchanged, other than with respect to fractional shares.
Additional details regarding the Company’s Reverse Stock Split can be found in the Current Report on Form 8-K that the Company will file with the SEC.
