Newton Golf Company Announces Name Change and 1-for-30 Reverse Stock Split
Company to trade under new ticker symbol “NWTG” on Nasdaq beginning March 17, 2025
CAMARILLO, Calif., March 11, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via IBN – Newton Golf Company (Nasdaq: SPGC) (“Newton Golf” or the “Company”), a leader in premium golf equipment innovation, today announces that it has officially changed its corporate name from Sacks Parente Golf, Inc. to Newton Golf Company to better reflect its commitment to revolutionizing golf through advanced physics and precision engineering.
In addition, the Company’s Board of Directors has approved a 1-for-30 reverse stock split, which is expected to take effect at the opening of trading on March 17, 2025. Effective that same day, the Company’s common stock will begin trading on a split-adjusted basis under the new ticker symbol “NWTG” on the Nasdaq Capital Market.
The Meaning Behind Newton Golf
The name Newton Golf pays tribute to Sir Isaac Newton, whose groundbreaking discoveries in physics forever changed our understanding of motion and force—principles that are fundamental to the game of golf. Much like Newton’s early insights into gravity and motion shaped modern science, Newton Golf is pioneering a new era in golf performance technology, leveraging cutting-edge engineering to enhance distance, control, and consistency for golfers of all skill levels.
“This name change marks a new chapter in our company’s evolution as we push the boundaries of performance in golf equipment,” said Greg Campbell, Chairman and CEO of Newton Golf Company. “Sir Isaac Newton’s revolutionary thinking changed the world, and Newton Golf embodies that same spirit of discovery and innovation. Our advanced physics-driven designs are setting new standards in golf technology, from high-performance shafts to next-generation putters.”
Recent Capital Raise and Financial Position
In December 2024, the Company completed an underwritten public offering, raising approximately $8.4 million in gross proceeds before deducting underwriting fees and offering expenses. This infusion of capital strengthens Newton Golf’s ability to advance its strategic initiatives, accelerate product development, and enhance operational capabilities.
Key Details of the Reverse Stock Split
- Every 30 shares of issued and outstanding common stock will automatically convert into one share.
- No fractional shares will be issued; instead, any fractional shares resulting from the reverse stock split will be rounded up to the nearest whole share.
- The Company’s common stock will continue to trade on Nasdaq under the ticker symbol “NWTG” with a new CUSIP number assigned upon implementation of the split.
“The reverse stock split is a strategic step that enhances our ability to attract institutional investors and strengthens our position in the public markets,” added Campbell. “We remain focused on executing our long-term growth strategy, expanding our product offerings, and delivering industry-leading innovations.”
No Action Required for Shareholders
The name change and ticker symbol update will not affect the rights of existing shareholders. Similarly, shareholders do not need to take any action regarding the reverse stock split. Their shareholdings will be adjusted automatically, and their existing stock certificates or book-entry positions will be updated accordingly.
Stockholders holding shares through brokerage accounts will have their positions adjusted to reflect the reverse split. For additional details, shareholders are encouraged to contact their broker or the Company’s transfer agent:
