February 13 2024 - 10:45AM
Business Wire
Common Stock Will Begin Trading on
Split-Adjusted Basis on February 15, 2024
MyMD Pharmaceuticals, Inc.® (Nasdaq: MYMD) (“MyMD” or “the
Company”), a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company committed to
developing novel therapies for age-related diseases, autoimmune and
inflammatory conditions, announced today that it intends to effect
a reverse stock split of its common stock at a ratio of 1
post-split share for every 30 pre-split shares. The reverse stock
split will become effective at 4:05 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on
Wednesday, February 14, 2024. MyMD’s common stock will continue to
be traded on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol MYMD and
will begin trading on a split-adjusted basis when the market opens
on Thursday, February 15, 2024. The new CUSIP number for MyMD’s
common stock following the reverse stock split will be
62856X201.
At the effective time of the reverse stock split, every 30
shares of MyMD’s issued and outstanding common stock will be
converted automatically into one issued and outstanding share of
common stock without any change in the par value per share.
Simultaneously therewith, the number of shares of common stock that
the Company shall have authority to issue will be reduced by a
factor of 30 from 500,000,000 shares to 16,666,666 shares.
Stockholders holding shares through a brokerage account will have
their shares automatically adjusted to reflect the 1‑for-30 reverse
stock split. It is not necessary for stockholders holding shares of
the Company’s common stock in certificated form to exchange their
existing stock certificates for new stock certificates of the
Company in connection with the reverse stock split, although
stockholders may do so if they wish.
The reverse stock split will affect all stockholders uniformly
and will not alter any stockholder’s percentage interest in the
Company’s equity, except to the extent that the reverse stock split
would result in a stockholder owning a fractional share. Any
fractional share of a stockholder resulting from the reverse stock
split will be rounded up to the nearest whole number of shares. The
reverse stock split will reduce the number of shares of MyMD’s
common stock outstanding from 62,749,125 shares to approximately
2,091,638 shares, subject to adjustment for the rounding up of
fractional shares. Proportional adjustments will be made to the
number of shares of MyMD’s common stock issuable upon exercise or
conversion of MyMD’s equity awards, convertible preferred stock and
warrants, as well as the applicable exercise or conversion price.
Stockholders with shares in brokerage accounts should direct any
questions concerning the reverse stock split to their broker; all
other stockholders may direct questions to the Company’s transfer
agent, Securities Transfer Corporation, via email at
issuerservices@stctransfer.com or phone at (469) 633-0101.
