Trevena Announces Reverse Stock Split
CHESTERBROOK, Pa., Aug. 08, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Trevena, Inc. (Nasdaq: TRVN), a biopharmaceutical company focused on the development and commercialization of novel medicines for patients with central nervous system (CNS) disorders, today announced that it has filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation (the “Amendment”) to effect a reverse stock split of its common stock at a ratio of 1-for-25. The reverse stock split will become effective at 12:01 a.m. ET on Tuesday, August 13, 2024. Trevena’s common stock will continue to be traded on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “TRVN” and will begin trading on a split-adjusted basis when the market opens on Tuesday, August 13, 2024. The reverse stock split is intended to enable Trevena to regain compliance with the $1.00 minimum bid price required for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market. The new CUSIP number for Trevena’s common stock following the reverse stock split will be 89532E 307.
At the Annual General Meeting of stockholders held on June 13, 2024, Trevena’s stockholders approved a reverse stock split of Trevena’s common stock at a ratio of not less than 1-for-2 and not more than 1-for-25, with such ratio to be determined by the Board of Directors. Additional information regarding the reverse stock split approved by stockholders can be found in Trevena’s definitive proxy statement that was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 29, 2024.
The Amendment provides that at the effective time of the reverse stock split, each 25 shares of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock will be automatically combined into one validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of common stock, without effecting a change to the par value per share. The reverse stock split will affect all shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the reverse stock split, as well as the number of shares of common stock available for issuance under the Company’s equity incentive plans. In addition, the reverse stock split will effect a reduction in the number of shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants outstanding immediately prior to the effectiveness of the reverse stock split with a corresponding increase in exercise price per share.
No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the reverse stock split. Stockholders who would otherwise be entitled to receive fractional shares as a result of the reverse stock split will be entitled to a cash payment in lieu thereof at a price equal to the fraction to which the stockholder would otherwise be entitled multiplied by the closing trading price per share of the common stock (as adjusted for the reverse stock split) as reported on The Nasdaq Capital Market on the trading day immediately preceding the effective time of the reverse stock split. Stockholders with shares in brokerage accounts should direct any questions concerning the reverse stock split to their broker; all other stockholders may direct questions to the Company's transfer agent, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company at (800) 509-5586.
