China Recycling Energy Corporation Annouces Reverse Stock Split to Regain Nasdaq Compliance

XI'AN, China, April 14, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- China Recycling Energy Corporation (Nasdaq: ) ("CREG" or "the Company"), an industrial waste-to-energy solution provider in China, today announced that effective on April 15, 2020 it will implement a ten-for-one reverse stock split of its outstanding common stock.

The reverse stock split is primarily intended to bring the company into compliance with the minimum bid price requirement for maintaining its listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market. CREGs common stock will continue to trade under the symbol “CREG.”

Upon the effectiveness of the reverse stock split, every ten shares of issued and outstanding common stock before the close of business on April 14, 2020 will be combined into one issued and outstanding share of common stock, with no change in par value per share. The company’s common stock will open for trading on NASDAQ on April 15, 2020 on a post-split basis. The new CUSIP number for the Company’s Common Stock post-Reverse Stock Split is 168913309.

The Company has rounded up to the next full share of the Company’s Common Stock any fractional shares resulting from the reverse stock split. Accordingly, the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock is currently 2,182,642.

The reverse stock split will affect all issued and outstanding shares of the company’s common stock, as well as the number of shares of common stock available for issuance under the company’s outstanding stock options and warrants. The reverse stock split will reduce the number of shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of stock options or warrants outstanding immediately prior to the reverse split and correspondingly increase the respective exercise prices. The reverse stock split will affect all shareholders uniformly and will not alter any shareholder’s percentage interest in the company’s equity, except to the extent that the reverse stock split results in some shareholders experiencing an adjustment of a fractional share as described above. The reverse stock split does not affect the preferred shares available for issuance by the Company.
