View, Inc. Completes Reverse Stock Split
July 27 2023 - 4:55AM
View, Inc. (Nasdaq: VIEW) (“View” or the “Company”) today announced
that on July 26, 2023, View filed a Certificate of Amendment (the
“Certificate of Amendment”) to the Company’s Amended and Restated
Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation”)
with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to effect a
60-for-1 reverse stock split of the outstanding shares of the
Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the
“Common Stock,” and such reverse stock split, the “Reverse Stock
Split”). The Reverse Stock Split became effective upon the filing
of the Certificate of Amendment on July 26, 2023 (the “Effective
Time”), and View’s Common Stock will begin trading on a
split-adjusted basis at market open today, July 27, 2023.
The Reverse Stock Split is intended to bring the Company into
compliance with the $1.00 minimum average closing share price
requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC
(“Nasdaq”).
As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, every 60 shares of
issued and outstanding Common Stock will be automatically combined
into one issued and outstanding share of Common Stock, without any
change in the par value per share. No fractional shares will be
issued as a result of the Reverse Stock Split. Instead, Continental
Stock Transfer & Trust Company, the Company’s transfer agent
(“Continental”), will aggregate all fractional shares and sell them
as soon as practicable after the Effective Time at the
then-prevailing prices on the open market, on behalf of those
stockholders who would otherwise have been entitled to receive a
fractional share as a result of the Reverse Stock Split. The
Reverse Stock Split will reduce the number of shares of Common
Stock outstanding from approximately 242,446,036 shares to
approximately 4,040,767 shares, subject to adjustment for the
treatment of fractional shares. The number of authorized shares of
Common Stock under the Certificate of Incorporation will not be
affected. A proportionate adjustment was also made to the maximum
number of shares issuable under the Company’s 2021 Equity Incentive
Plan.
Stockholders who hold their shares in book-entry form or in
“street name” (through a broker, bank, or other holder of record)
will not be required to take any action.
The Common Stock will begin trading on a split-adjusted basis on
Nasdaq at the market open on July 27, 2023. The trading symbol for
the Common Stock will remain “VIEW”. The new CUSIP number for the
Common Stock following the Reverse Stock Split is 92671V 304.

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release and certain materials View files with the
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), as well as
information included in oral statements or other written statements
made or to be made by View, other than statements of historical
fact, contain certain forward-looking statements within the meaning
of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as
amended. These forward-looking statements are based on current
expectations, estimates, assumptions, projections and management’s
beliefs, that are subject to change. There can be no assurance that
these forward-looking statements will be achieved; these statements
are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to certain
risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which are beyond
View’s control and are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual
outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed
or forecasted in such forward-looking statements. View’s business
is subject to a number of risks which are described more fully in
View’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
2022, as amended, its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and in its
other filings with the SEC. View undertakes no obligation to update
forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after
the date hereof.
Many important factors could cause actual future events to
differ materially from the forward-looking statements in this press
release, including but not limited to those described below. The
effect of a reverse stock split on the per share trading price of
View’s common stock cannot be predicted with any certainty, and the
outcomes of reverse stock splits for other companies are varied,
particularly given that investors may view a reverse stock split as
a negative indicator. It is possible that the per share trading
price of View’s common stock after the Reverse Stock Split will not
increase in the same proportion as the reduction in the number of
View’s outstanding shares of common stock following the Reverse
Stock Split or at all, and the Reverse Stock Split may not result
in a per share trading price that will attract investors who do not
trade in lower priced stocks. View cannot assure you that following
the Reverse Stock Split, its common stock will be more attractive
to investors or that it will regain compliance with the $1.00
minimum average closing share price requirement for continued
listing on Nasdaq. Following the Reverse Stock Split, the per share
trading price of View’s common stock may decrease due to factors
unrelated to the Reverse Stock Split, including View’s future
performance. If the per share trading price of View’s common stock
following the Reverse Stock Split declines, the percentage decline
as an absolute number and as a percentage of View’s overall market
capitalization may be greater than would occur in the absence of
the Reverse Stock Split.
The Reverse Stock Split may decrease the liquidity of View’s
common stock and result in higher transaction costs. The liquidity
of View’s common stock may be negatively impacted by the Reverse
Stock Split, given the reduced number of shares that are
outstanding following the Reverse Stock Split, particularly if the
per share trading price does not increase as a result of the
Reverse Stock Split. In addition, the Reverse Stock Split will
increase the number of View’s stockholders who own “odd lots” of
fewer than 100 shares of common stock. Brokerage commission and
other costs of transactions in odd lots are generally higher than
the costs of transactions of more than 100 shares of common
stock.
