Ernexa Therapeutics Announces 1-for-15 Reverse Stock Split

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., June 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- (Nasdaq: ERNA), developing innovative cell therapies for the treatment of advanced cancer and autoimmune disease, today announced a reverse stock split of its issued and outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.005 per share (the “Common Stock”), at a ratio of 1-for-15, effective June 12, 2025 at 12:01 a.m. Eastern Time. The Company’s Common Stock is expected to begin trading on a split-adjusted basis when the market opens on June 12, 2025, under the existing trading symbol “ERNA.”

The Company is effecting the reverse split to regain compliance with the $1.00 minimum bid price required for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). The new CUSIP number following the reverse stock split will be 114082 308.

As a result of the reverse stock split, every 15 shares of the Company’s Common Stock issued and outstanding will be automatically reclassified into one new share of Common Stock. The reverse stock split will not modify any rights or preferences of the shares of the Company’s Common Stock. Proportionate adjustments will be made to the exercise prices and the number of shares underlying the Company’s outstanding equity awards, as applicable, and warrants, as well as to the number of shares issued and issuable under the Company’s equity incentive plans. The Common Stock issued pursuant to the reverse stock split will remain fully paid and non-assessable. The reverse stock split will not affect the number of authorized shares of Common Stock or the par value of the Common Stock. The reverse stock split was approved by the Company’s stockholders at the Company’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on June 2, 2025 at a ratio in the range of 1-for-10 to 1-for-15, such ratio to be determined by the Board of Directors. The Company’s Board of Directors approved the reverse stock split at the ratio of 1-for-15.

No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the reverse stock split, and no cash or other consideration will be paid in connection with any fractional shares. Stockholders who otherwise would have held a fractional share after giving effect to the reverse stock split will instead own one whole share of the post-reverse stock split Common Stock.

As of the date of this press release, the Company had 110,418,022 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding, which it anticipates will result in approximately 7,361,201 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding on a split-adjusted basis, without giving effect to any rounding for fractional shares.

Computershare Inc. and its affiliate Computershare Trust Company, N.A., the Company’s transfer agent (collectively, “Computershare”), will act as the exchange agent for the reverse stock split. Stockholders of record holding certificates representing pre-split shares of the Company’s Common Stock will receive a letter of transmittal from Computershare with instructions on how to surrender certificates representing pre-split shares. Stockholders should not send in their pre-split certificates until they receive a letter of transmittal from Computershare. Stockholders with book-entry shares or who hold their shares through a bank, broker, or other nominee will not need to take any action. Stockholders of record who held pre-split certificates will receive their post-split shares in book-entry form and will receive a statement from Computershare regarding their Common Stock ownership post-reverse stock split.

Additional information about the reverse stock split can be found in the Company’s definitive proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 14, 2025, which is available at and on the Company’s website at .

Alongside Ernexa’s recent financings and corporate restructuring, the Company believes this reverse stock split is a key step in strengthening its financial foundation and maintaining access to the capital markets needed to advance its clinical programs.
