Glucotrack Announces Reverse Stock Split
1-for-20 reverse stock split to become effective as of the opening of trading on February 4, 2025
RUTHERFORD, N.J., Jan. 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Glucotrack, Inc. (Nasdaq: GCTK) (“Glucotrack” or the “Company”), a medical device company focused on the design, development, and commercialization of novel technologies for people with diabetes, today announced that it will effect a 1-for-20 reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”) of its issued and outstanding common stock par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), effective with the opening of trading on Tuesday, February 4, 2025.
Glucotrack’s Common Stock will continue to trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) under the symbol “GCTK”. The new CUSIP number for the Common Stock following the Reverse Stock Split will be 45824Q705.
The material effects of the Reverse Stock Split are:
- Every 20 shares of Glucotrack’s issued and outstanding Common Stock have been combined into one (1) share of Common Stock.
- The number of outstanding shares of Common Stock has been proportionally reduced from 155,491,473 shares to approximately 7,774,574 shares.
- The ownership percentage of each Glucotrack stockholder will remain unchanged, other than as a result of fractional shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. Instead, stockholders who otherwise would be entitled to receive fractional shares because they hold a number of shares not evenly divisible by the reverse stock split ratio will automatically be entitled to receive an additional fraction of a share of Common Stock to round up to the next whole share.
At the special meeting of stockholders held on January 3, 2025, the stockholders of the Company approved a proposal to authorize the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) to file a Certificate of Amendment to effect the Reverse Stock Split at a ratio between 1-for-2 and 1-for-20, as determined by the Board in its sole discretion. On January 28, 2025, the Board approved the Reverse Stock Split at a ratio of 1-for-20.
Among other considerations, the Reverse Stock Split is intended to assist in bringing Glucotrack into compliance with the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement for maintaining the listing of its Common Stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market, and to make the prevailing prices of its Common Stock more attractive to a broader group of institutional investors.
The combination of, and reduction in, the number of issued shares of Common Stock as a result of the Reverse Stock Split will occur automatically on February 4, 2025, without any additional action on the part of Glucotrack’s stockholders. Glucotrack’s transfer agent, VStock Transfer, LLC, is acting as the exchange agent for the Reverse Stock Split and will send each stockholder a transaction statement indicating the number of shares of Common Stock the stockholder holds after the Reverse Stock Split. Stockholders owning shares via a broker, bank, trust or other nominee will have their positions automatically adjusted to reflect the Reverse Stock Split, subject to such broker’s particular processes. Such stockholders will not be required to take any action in connection with the Reverse Stock Split.
Additional information regarding the Reverse Stock Split can be found in the Company’s Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on December 6, 2024. A link to this document is available at and on Glucotrack’s website at /investor-relations.
