AgEagle Aerial Systems Announces Effectiveness of Reverse Stock Split
WICHITA, Kan., Feb. 09, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- AgEagle Aerial Systems Inc. (NYSE American: UAVS) (the “Company”), a leading provider of full stack drone, sensors and software solutions for customers worldwide in the commercial and government verticals, today announced that, on February 8, 2024, AgEagle Aerial Systems Inc. (the “Company”) filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Articles of Incorporation, as amended to date, (the “Charter Amendment”) effecting a 1-for-20 reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), for the primary purpose of increasing the per share price of the Company’s Common Stock in order to maintain the listing of its Common Stock on the NYSE American. The Reverse Stock Split was previously approved by the Company’s stockholders and the Board of the Directors of the Company and became effective on February 9, 2024.
As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, every twenty (20) shares of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock were converted into one (1) share of issued and outstanding common stock. The number of authorized shares remains unchanged. The Reverse Stock Split was effected simultaneously for all of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock and the exchange ratio will be the same for all of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock. The Reverse Stock Split will affect all of the Company’s shareholders uniformly and will not affect any shareholder’s percentage ownership interests in the Company, except to the extent that the Reverse Stock Split results in any of the Company’s shareholders owning a fractional share. Each stockholder and holders of options and warrants otherwise entitled to a fractional share resulting from the Reverse Stock Split will receive such additional fractions of a share to round up to a full share. It will not be necessary for stockholders to exchange their existing stock certificates for new stock certificates in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. Stockholders who hold their shares in brokerage accounts are not required to take any action to exchange their shares. The Reverse Stock Split will have no impact on shareholders’ proportionate equity interests or voting rights in the Company or the par value of the Company’s common stock, which remains unchanged.
