Sharps Technology, Inc. Reminds Shareholders to Vote Before Important Shareholder Meeting on October 7, 2024
September 30 2024 - 6:30AM
Sharps Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ: STSS) (the “Company”), an
innovative medical device and pharmaceutical packaging company
offering patented, best-in-class syringe products, is reminding
shareholders to vote their proxy in favor of the Company’s proposal
before the shareholder meeting scheduled to be held on October 7,
2024 at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time.
“Please take a very important step to preserve your investment
and to help ensure that Sharps Technology can continue to execute
its business plan,” said Robert M. Hayes, Chief Executive Officer.
“We are asking you to vote today ’FOR‘ the reverse split of the
Company’s common stock so that we can regain compliance with
NASDAQ’s minimum bid price requirement and so that our common stock
can remain listed on NASDAQ. This request is consistent with the
letter that was included in the Proxy materials previously sent to
investors by either email or mail.”
“We acknowledge your support and approval at the July 15, 2024
special shareholder meeting for up to a 1-for-8 reverse stock
split. Please note that we have not implemented
the reverse stock split that was approved in July,” continued Mr.
Hayes. “Based on recent communications and a hearing with NASDAQ,
the Board of Directors has recommended and approved a further range
for the reverse stock split of 1-for-8 up to 1-for-22 to provide
the best opportunity to remain NASDAQ compliant in the
long-term.”
“We thank the shareholders that have already voted for the
reverse split proposal and would appreciate all of the shareholders
who have not yet voted to please vote your approval today.”
THE FOLLOWING WAS CONSIDERED BY THE BOARD PRIOR TO THE
APPROVAL RECOMMENDATION:
- Without approval of the reverse stock split proposal at the
October 7, 2024 special shareholder meeting, we expect that our
stock will be delisted from NASDAQ in the near future. We have been
provided an extension to complete this reverse stock split to
achieve the minimum $1.00 NASDAQ stock price requirement.
- If our common stock is delisted from NASDAQ, this could
adversely affect the value of the securities that you hold and our
trading volume, making it more difficult to buy and sell our
securities.
- On the other hand, approval of the reverse stock split should
help enable us to maintain our common stock’s volume and ease of
trading and encourage a broad range of investors to have the
opportunity to invest in our Company. This will encourage analysts
and brokers to remain interested in covering and dealing with our
securities. The reverse stock split will also allow us to have more
access to capital to pursue our management team’s growth
strategies.
Following the reverse stock split, we expect to continue to be
able to raise capital to grow the Company. Unfortunately, this will
likely be more challenging without your vote
today “FOR” the
reverse stock split proposal.
HOW YOU CAN HELP:
The Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A regarding the
special meeting of our shareholders (the “Special Meeting”), states
that it is scheduled to be held on Monday, October 7, 2024.
Shareholders as of the Special Meeting’s record date, August 13,
2024, are entitled to vote at the Special Meeting, but are
encouraged to vote their proxy beforehand. Sharps’ Board of
Directors will unanimously vote in favor of each of the reverse
stock split proposal and urges all shareholders to approve the
reverse stock split by
voting “FOR” the
proposal. Please vote your
shares “FOR” the
proposal today by responding to the proxy materials that were
previously sent to all shareholders.

REVERSE STOCK SPLIT PROCESS:
If the proposal is approved, after the reverse stock split, each
shareholder will hold the same percentage interest in the Company
as before the reverse stock split; all shareholders will simply
hold fewer shares. A reverse stock split decreases the number of
our outstanding shares and increases the price per share – and is a
mechanism often used by companies to regain and/or maintain
compliance with an exchange’s “minimum bid price” listing
requirement. For the purpose of regaining compliance with NASDAQ
requirements, NASDAQ’s minimum listing price per share is
$1.00.

Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A, which was filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on September 4, 2024,

A vote “FOR” the
proposal will help protect your investment in Sharps Technology and
ensure that you can benefit fully from future potential shareholder
value creation. We appreciate your continued interest in Sharps
Technology, and we are eager to share more with you in future
communications.
