Mooresville, NC, Oct. 28, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Fundamental Global Inc. (Nasdaq: FGF, FGFPP) ("Fundamental Global") today announced that it will effect a one (1)-for-twenty-five (25) reverse stock split of its outstanding common stock, effective October 31, 2024 at 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time. The Company's common stock should begin trading on a split-adjusted basis at the commencement of trading on November 1, 2024, under the Company's existing trading symbol, "FGF." The Company's common stock has been assigned a new CUSIP number, 30329Y 304, in connection with the reverse stock split.
At the effective time of the reverse stock split, every twenty- five (25) shares of issued and outstanding common stock will be exchanged for one (1) share of common stock, with all fractional shares being rounded up to the nearest whole share. The reverse stock split will reduce the number of issued and outstanding shares of common stock from approximately 31.4 million pre-split shares to approximately 1.3 million post-split shares. The reverse stock split will also proportionally reduce the Company's authorized shares of common stock from 100,000,000 shares to 4,000,000 shares.
The reverse stock split will be effected simultaneously for all outstanding shares of the Company's common stock, and will affect all of the Company's stockholders uniformly. The reverse stock split will not affect any stockholder's percentage ownership interest in the Company, except to the extent that it results in any of the Company's stockholders owning a fractional share, as any resulting fractional share will be rounded up to the nearest whole share. The reverse stock split will not affect the par value of the Company's common stock, and will also not affect the number of authorized shares or par value of our preferred shares. The rights and privileges of the holders of the common stock will be unaffected by the reverse stock split. Proportionate adjustments will be made to the per share exercise price and the number of shares issuable upon the exercise of all outstanding options and to the number of shares subject to outstanding restricted stock units.
