Tile Shop’s Board of Directors Approves Plan to Terminate Registration of Its Common Stock

Tile Shop’s Board of Directors Approves Plan to Terminate Registration of Its Common Stock

MINNEAPOLIS, Oct. 06, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Tile Shop Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: TTSH) (“Tile Shop” or the “Company”), a specialty retailer of natural stone, man-made and luxury vinyl tiles, setting and maintenance materials and related accessories, today announced that the Independent Transaction Committee (the “Transaction Committee”) of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) comprised of independent directors has recommended, and the Board has approved, a plan to delist its shares of common stock from trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market, suspend its duty to file periodic reports and other information with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), and to terminate the registration of its common stock under the federal securities laws following the completion of a proposed reverse stock split. It is expected that this plan would be effectuated in December 2025, assuming the approval of Tile Shops’ stockholders of the proposed reverse split at special meeting of the Company’s stockholders (the “Special Meeting”), as described below.

The Company is taking these steps to avoid the substantial cost and expense of being a public reporting company and to focus the Company’s resources on enhancing long-term stockholder value. The Company anticipates savings of approximately $2.4 million on an annual basis as a result of the proposed delisting and deregistration transaction.

The proposed reverse stock split will be at a ratio between 1-for-2,000 and 1-for-4,000, in which holders of shares of the Company’s outstanding common stock in an amount less than the final determined reverse stock split ratio denominator would be cashed out at a price of $6.60 per share for their fractional shares. Such price represents a premium above the common stock’s closing price on October 2, 2025 and is supported by a fairness opinion delivered by GuideCap Partners LLC (“GuideCap”), whom the Transaction Committee engaged for such purpose. Stockholders owning more shares of the Company’s common stock than the reverse stock split ratio denominator prior to the reverse stock split would remain stockholders in the Company, which would no longer be encumbered by the expenses and distraction of a public reporting company. The number of shares they would own following the proposed transaction would be unchanged, as immediately after the reverse stock split a forward split would be applied to the continuing stockholders, negating any effects to them. The Company intends to fund the purchase of fractional shares resulting from the reverse stock split using cash-on-hand and, if necessary, with borrowings available under its line of credit.

The members of the Board determined unanimously that the proposed transaction is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. The Company currently realizes none of the traditional benefits of public company status, yet incurs all of the significant annual expenses and indirect costs associated with being a public company. Without its public company status, the Company would have an ongoing cost structure befitting its current and foreseeable scale of operations and its management would be able to have an increased focus on core operations. The purpose of the reverse stock split is to (i) help the Company reduce the number of its record holders of its common stock below 300, which is the level at which the SEC public reporting obligations are required, (ii) offer liquidity to smaller stockholders at $6.60 per share without a brokerage commission (if applicable) and (iii) provide all stockholders the opportunity to vote on this matter. Among the factors considered the Board were:

  • the significant ongoing costs and management time and effort involved in the Company remaining a public company, including the preparation and filing of periodic and other reports with the SEC and compliance with Sarbanes-Oxley Act and other applicable requirements;
  • the limited trading volume and liquidity of the Company’s common stock;
  • that the business and operations of the Company are expected to continue substantially as presently conducted, except without the burden of public company costs;
  • enabling the Company’s stockholders with the smallest holdings to liquidate their holdings in the Company’s common stock and receive a premium over current market prices without incurring brokerage commissions (if applicable);
  • the determination of GuideCap, independent financial advisor to the Transaction Committee, that the consideration for the fractional shares is fair from a financial point of view to the common stockholders of the Company being cashed out in the reverse stock split; and
  • as a result of the delisting and deregistration, the ability of the Company’s management and employees to focus their time, effort and resources on the Company’s long-term growth and increasing long-term stockholder value.

Subject to the filing of the Company’s proxy statement relating to the proposed stock split and stockholder approval thereof, it is anticipated that the proposed transaction would become effective shortly after the Special Meeting of the Company’s stockholders, which is expected to be held in December 2025.

Subject to receiving such stockholder approval, as soon as practicable after the Special Meeting of the Company’s stockholders, the Company expects to delist its common stock from the Nasdaq Capital Market and terminate the registration of its common stock with the SEC. As a result, at such time, (i) the Company would cease to file annual, quarterly, current and other reports and documents with the SEC, except as otherwise required by the SEC, and stockholders would cease to receive annual reports and proxy statements, and (ii) the Company’s common stock would no longer be listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market.
