Nashville, TN, Sept. 27, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- American Rebel Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: AREB) - America's Patriotic Brand (the "Company"), today announced that it will effect a reverse stock split of its outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the "Common Stock"), at a ratio of 1-for-9, to be effective as of 12:00 a.m. Eastern Time on October 2, 2024.
The Company's Common Stock will begin trading on a reverse stock split-adjusted basis at the opening of The Nasdaq Capital Market ("Nasdaq") on Wednesday, October 2, 2024. Following the reverse stock split, the Common Stock will continue to trade on Nasdaq under the symbol "AREB" with the new CUSIP number, 02919L505. The reverse stock split is intended for the Company to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement of $1.00 per share of common stock for continued listing on Nasdaq.
The reverse stock split will not change the authorized number of shares of our Common Stock. No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the reverse stock split and all such fractional interests will be rounded up to the nearest whole number of shares of Common Stock. In addition, the reverse stock split will apply to the Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Company's outstanding derivative securities, with proportionate adjustments to be made to the exercise prices and number of derivates thereof and under the Company's equity incentive plans.
The reverse stock split will reduce the number of issued and outstanding shares of the Company's common stock from approximately 9.2 million to approximately 1.02 million.
On February 13, 2024, the stockholders of the Company approved a Certificate of Amendment to the Company's Second Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation to effect a reverse stock split of the Common Stock, at a ratio of up to 1-for-10, with such ratio to be determined in the sole discretion of the Company's board of directors (the "Board") and with the reverse stock split to be effected at such time and date, if at all, as determined by the Board in its sole discretion at any time within twelve (12) months of such stockholder approval. The Board approved the reverse stock split at a ratio of 1-for-9 on September 17, 2024.
Securities Transfer Corporation is acting as the exchange agent and paying agent for the reverse stock split. Stockholders holding their shares in book-entry form or in brokerage accounts need not take any action in connection with the reverse stock split.
Securities Transfer Corporation will provide instructions to any stockholders with certificates regarding the process in connection with the exchange of pre-reverse stock split stock certificates for ownership in book-entry form or stock certificates on a post-reverse stock split basis.
