The reverse stock split was approved by stockholders on May 22, 2023 within a 1-for-5 to 1-for-25 range, and the Board selected the 1-for-20 ratio on June 26, 2023. The filing states that the transaction applied uniformly and did not change stockholders’ proportional ownership, except for effects from fractional-share rounding.
Investor Verification Items

- Confirm post-split share counts, equity awards, warrant entitlements, and exercise prices in subsequent filings and account statements.
- Review Exhibit 3.1, the Certificate of Amendment, for the complete legal terms.
- Note the filing’s date inconsistency: the report identifies June 28 as the earliest event date, while the signature and press release are dated July 3, 2023.
