February 14, 2025 16:32 ET | Source: Comstock Inc. VIRGINIA CITY, Nev., Feb. 14, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Comstock Inc. ("Comstock") (NYSE American: LODE), a leading innovator of renewable energy-enabling technologies that contribute to energy abundance by efficiently extracting and converting under-utilized natural resources today announced a reverse split of its common stock, $0.000666 par value (“Common Stock”), at a ratio of 1-for-10 (the “Reverse Split”), effective February 24, 2025, and that the Common Stock will begin trading on a split-adjusted basis when the market opens on February 25, 2025, resulting in approximately 23,767,578 shares outstanding. Under Nevada law, because the Reverse Split was approved by the shareholders of the Company on February 14, 2025, and in accordance with NRS Section 78.2055, the Company may effect the Reverse Split without correspondingly decreasing the number of authorized shares. As described herein, the Company has complied with these requirements. Comstock’s authorized number of shares of Common Stock remains unchanged at 245,000,000. The Common Stock will continue to trade on the NYSE American under the trading symbol "LODE" but will trade under the new CUSIP number 205750409. "The growth opportunities for both Fuels and Metals have developed well beyond our original expectations, and we have attracted some of the most sophisticated partners, for feedstocks, technologies, operations, governments, and refining and offtake, with many now evaluating direct investments, and in multiple cases exploring deeper and more meaningful integrations with our system,” stated Corrado De Gasperis, Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “With this extraordinarily strong supporting vote, our existing shareholders have overwhelmingly supported our plans for effectively and responsibly capitalizing on our immediate opportunities and sharing in the potential for creating two unprecedented companies that turn the image of an oil well that never stops producing and a silver mine that never stops producing, into our new reality. It is just getting started.” The reverse stock split will affect all stockholders uniformly and will not alter any stockholder's percentage interest in the Company's equity, except to the extent that the reverse stock split would result in a stockholder owning a fractional share. The reverse stock split will reduce the number of issued shares of the Company's common stock from approximately 237,675,779 shares to approximately 23,767,578 shares. Proportional adjustments will be made to the number of shares of the Comstock's common stock issuable under its equity compensation plans and upon exercise or conversion of outstanding warrants, as well as the applicable exercise prices. Stockholders whose shares are held in brokerage accounts should direct any questions concerning the reverse stock split to their broker. The Company's transfer agent, EQ Equiniti, will provide instructions to stockholders regarding the process for exchanging certificated shares. No fractional shares will be issued as a result of the Reverse Split as any fractional shares resulting from the Reverse Split will be rounded up to the nearest whole share. All stockholders of record may direct questions to the Company's transfer agent, EQ Equiniti toll-free at 1-866-877-6270. The Company will file the final tabulation of the special meeting proposal on Form 8-K on February 18, 2025. About Comstock Inc. Comstock Inc.
