PMGC Holdings Inc. Announces Reverse Stock Split to Maintain Nasdaq Listing Compliance
March 06 2025 - 8:00AM
PMGC Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: ELAB) (“PMGC” or the “Company”) today
announced that it will effect a 1-for-7 reverse stock split (the
“Split”) of its issued and outstanding common stock, par value
$0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”), effective at midnight, Eastern
time, on March 10, 2025.
Key Details of the Reverse Stock Split:
- Conversion Ratio: Every 7 shares of issued and outstanding
Common Stock will be automatically consolidated into one share,
with no further action required from shareholders.
- Fractional Shares: Shareholders entitled to fractional shares
will receive one full share for each fractional portion.
- Updated Stock Identifier: While the trading symbol for the
Common Stock will remain “ELAB,” the Common Stock will be
designated a new CUSIP number (73017P201).
- Equity Adjustments: Outstanding stock awards, options, and the
shares reserved for the equity incentive plan will be adjusted
proportionally to reflect the Split.
- Warrant Share and Exercise Price Adjustments: Shares of Common
Stock underlying outstanding warrants and the exercise price of the
outstanding warrants will be adjusted proportionally to reflect
this stock split.
Purpose of the Reverse Stock Split:
The reverse stock split is a critical step in ensuring
compliance with Nasdaq’s listing requirements, allowing PMGC to
maintain its presence on The Nasdaq Capital Market. A continued
listing enhances the Company’s visibility, strengthens investor
confidence, and positions PMGC for future growth. There is no
guarantee the Company will meet the minimum bid price
requirement.
Nasdaq Rule Changes and Compliance
Considerations:
In line with recent Nasdaq rule changes approved by the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on January 17, 2025,
PMGC is implementing the reverse stock split to ensure continued
compliance with listing requirements, notably:
- Removal of Stay Period After the
Second 180-Day Compliance Period:Under amended Nasdaq Listing Rule
5815, if an issuer fails to meet the $1.00 minimum bid price after
a second 180-day compliance period, a hearing request will no
longer delay delisting. The stock will be automatically suspended
and moved to the OTC market while any appeal is pending.
- Limited Reverse Split Allowances:Under amended Nasdaq Listing
Rule 5810(c)(3)(A)(iv), issuers that have conducted a reverse stock
split within the past year are ineligible for another compliance
period to regain the minimum bid price. Additionally, if a company
has performed reverse splits totaling 1-to-250 within two years, it
cannot use another compliance period.
- Accelerated Delisting for Stocks
Below $0.10:Under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A)(iii), stocks
trading at or below $0.10 for 10 consecutive business days will be
automatically subject to a Nasdaq delisting determination, with no
compliance period granted.
These amendments emphasize the importance of maintaining a
stable share price above the minimum threshold and reinforce PMGC’s
commitment to staying ahead of potential noncompliance issues.
Impact on Shareholders:
- No Immediate Action Required:
Shareholders holding shares through a broker or in street name will
see their holdings updated automatically.
- Certificate Holders: Shareholders with physical certificates
can exchange them, if desired, through VStock Transfer, LLC, the
transfer agent of the Company, which will provide detailed
instructions.
- Share Value: The reverse split does
not impact the overall value of shareholder equity; it only reduces
the number of shares outstanding while proportionally adjusting the
share price.
Impact on our Common Stock:
Post Split it is anticipated that there will be approximately
577,000 shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of March
10, 2025. The Company is a Nevada corporation, and pursuant to the
Nevada Revised Statutes, shareholder approval is not required to
effect the Split since in connection with the Split, the Company’s
total number of authorized shares of common stock will also be
decreased at the same ratio (1-for-7) as the issued and outstanding
shares of Common Stock.
