NEW YORK, Oct. 22, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Medley Management
Inc. (NYSE: MDLY) ("MDLY" or the "Company") announced today that,
following the authorization granted by the stockholders at the
Company's 2020 Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on October 22, 2020 (the "Annual Meeting"), the
Company's board of directors (the "Board") today determined that it
is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to
effect a reverse stock split of its Class A common stock, par value
$0.01 per share (the "Class A Common
Stock"), at a ratio of 1-for-10 (the "Reverse Stock Split").
Accordingly, on October 22, 2020, the
Company filed a Certificate of Amendment (the "Certificate of
Amendment") to the Company's Amended and Restated Certificate of
Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to effect the Reverse Stock
Split, which will be effective at 5:00 p.m.,
Eastern Time, on Friday, October 30,
2020 (the "Effective Time").
Pursuant to the Certificate of Amendment, effective as of
5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on
Friday, October 30, 2020 (the
"Effective Time"), each ten (10) shares of Class A Common Stock
issued and outstanding, immediately prior to the Effective Time,
will automatically and without any action on the part of the
respective holders thereof, be combined and converted into one (1)
share of Class A Common Stock. A reverse stock split of the
Class B Common Stock will be implemented simultaneously at the same
ratio. No fractional shares will be issued as a result of the
Reverse Stock Split. Instead, any stockholder who would have
been entitled to receive a fractional share of Class A Common Stock
as a result of the Reverse Stock Split will receive cash payments
in lieu of such fractional shares (without interest and subject to
backup withholding and applicable withholding taxes).
The Class A Common Stock will begin trading on a split-adjusted
basis on the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE") at the market
open on Monday, November 2,
2020. The Class A Common Stock will have a new CUSIP number,
58503T205, although the trading symbol for the Class A Common Stock
will remain "MDLY".
As previously disclosed, the Reverse Stock Split is intended to
bring the Company into compliance with the $1.00 minimum average closing share price
requirement (the "Minimum Share Price Requirement") for continued
listing on the NYSE. The Company will regain compliance with the
Minimum Share Price Requirement if the price per share of Common
Stock promptly exceeds $1.00 per
share and remains above that level for at least the following 30
trading days.
In connection with the Reverse Stock Split, the Company filed
another Certificate of Amendment which implements the Authorized
Share Reduction simultaneously with the Reverse Stock Split.
Also approved by the Company's stockholders at the Annual Meeting,
the Authorized Share Reduction implements a reduction in the number
of authorized shares of all classes of the Company's capital stock,
including a reducing the number of authorized shares of Class A
Common Stock from 3,000,000,000 shares to 5,000,000 shares.
