GDEV Announces One-For-Ten Reverse Share Split
August 21 2024 - 8:00AM
GDEV Inc. (NASDAQ: GDEV), an international gaming and entertainment
company (“GDEV” or the “Company”) announced a one-for-ten (1:10)
reverse share split of its ordinary shares, no par value per
ordinary share (the “Reverse Share Split”). The Reverse Share Split
will become effective at 4:01 p.m. Eastern Time on
August 28, 2024 (the “Effective Date”). The Company’s ordinary
shares will begin trading on a split-adjusted basis when the Nasdaq
Global Market (“Nasdaq”) opens for trading on Thursday,
August 29, 2024 (i.e., the first trading day following the
Effective Date) under the existing trading symbol “GDEV,” but the
ordinary shares will trade under a new CUSIP number, G6529J209. The
Company’s outstanding public warrants will continue to be traded
under the symbol “GDEVW” and the CUSIP number for such public
warrants will remain unchanged.
The Company believes that the increased market
price of its ordinary shares expected as a result of implementing
the Reverse Share Split could improve the marketability and
liquidity of its ordinary shares, and will encourage interest and
trading in its ordinary shares. The Company’s Board of Directors
has determined that the Reverse Share Split is advisable and in the
best interests of the Company and its shareholders, and approved
the Reverse Share Split by written resolution on August 8,
2024. Pursuant to the BVI Business Companies Act (as amended) and
the Company’s Memorandum and Articles of Association, the Company’s
Board of Directors is authorized to effect the Reverse Share Split
without the approval of the Company’s shareholders. Accordingly, no
shareholder vote, consent or approval is required or will be sought
in respect of the Reverse Share Split.
As a result of the Reverse Share Split, every
ten issued and outstanding GDEV ordinary shares will automatically
be converted into one ordinary share. No fractional shares will be
issued as a result of the Reverse Share Split. Instead, in lieu of
any fractional shares to which a shareholder of record would
otherwise be entitled as a result of the Reverse Share Split, the
Company will pay cash (without interest) equal to such fraction
multiplied by the average of the closing sales prices of the
ordinary shares on Nasdaq during regular trading hours for the five
consecutive trading days immediately preceding the Effective Date
of the Reverse Share Split (with such average closing sales prices
being adjusted to give effect to the Reverse Share Split). Except
for adjustments that may result from the treatment of fractional
shares as described below, the Reverse Share Split will affect all
shareholders uniformly. The proportionate voting rights and other
rights and preferences of the holders of the Company’s ordinary
shares will not be affected by the Reverse Share Split (other than
as a result of the payment of cash in lieu of fractional shares).
The Reverse Share Split will not change the terms of the Company’s
ordinary shares or require that any amendment to the Company’s
Memorandum and Articles of Association be made.
The Reverse Share Split will also affect the
GDEV ordinary shares issuable under the Company’s 2021 ESOP as well
as the Company’s outstanding warrants and options. Generally, the
documents pertaining to these instruments include provisions
providing for proportionate adjustments to be made in the event of
a reverse share split. Specifically, the exercise price and the
number of ordinary shares issuable pursuant to these instruments
will be adjusted pursuant to the terms of such instruments in
connection with the Reverse Share Split.
Additional information regarding the Reverse
Share Split can be found in the Company’s Report on Form 6-K
furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission on
August 21, 2024.
