Tokyo Lifestyle Co., Ltd. Announces Plan of ADS Ratio Change
November 12 2024 - 7:00AM
Tokyo Lifestyle Co., Ltd. (formerly known as Yoshitsu Co., Ltd,
“Tokyo Lifestyle” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: TKLF), a retailer and
wholesaler of Japanese beauty and health products, sundry products,
luxury products, electronic products, as well as other products
in Hong Kong, Japan, North America and
the United Kingdom, today announced its plan to change the
ratio of its American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”) to its ordinary
shares from one ADS representing one ordinary share to one ADS
representing 10 ordinary shares (the “ADS Ratio Change”). The ADS
Ratio Change will become effective on November 15, 2024 (the
“Effective Date”).
For the Company’s ADS holders, the change in the
ADS Ratio will have the same effect as a one-for-ten reverse ADS
split and will not impact an ADS holder’s proportional equity
interest in the Company. The ADS Ratio Change is intended to
further support the liquidity in the Company’s ADSs and enable the
Company to regain compliance with the Nasdaq minimum bid price
requirement.
On the Effective Date, registered holders of the
Company’s ADSs held in certificated form will be required on a
mandatory basis to surrender their certificated ADSs to The Bank of
New York Mellon, the depositary bank (the “Depositary”), for
cancellation and received one new ADS in exchange for every 10
existing ADSs surrendered. Holders of uncertificated ADSs in the
Direct Registration System and The Depository Trust Company will
have their ADSs automatically exchanged.
The exchange of every 10 then-held (existing)
ADSs for one new ADS will occur automatically on the Effective
Date, with the then-held ADSs being cancelled and new ADSs being
issued by the Depositary. The Company’s ADSs will continue to be
traded on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the ticker symbol
“TKLF.”
No fractional new ADSs will be issued in
connection with the change in the ADS Ratio. Instead, fractional
entitlements to new ADSs will be aggregated and sold, and the net
cash proceeds from the sale of the fractional ADS entitlements
(after deduction of fees, taxes, and expenses) will be distributed
to the applicable ADS holders by the Depositary.
As a result of the ADS Ratio Change, the ADS
trading price is expected to increase proportionally, although the
Company makes no assurance that the ADS trading price following the
change will be proportionally equal to or greater than the ADS
trading price prior to the change, or that the change in the ADS
Ratio will have any effect on the liquidity of the Company’s
ADSs.
