August 06, 2025 07:00 ET | Source: Energous SAN JOSE, Calif., Aug. 06, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Energous Corporation d/b/a Energous Wireless Power Solutions (Nasdaq: WATT) (the “Company,” “we,” or “our”), a pioneer in scalable, over-the-air (OTA) wireless power networks, today announced that it will implement a 1-for-30 reverse stock split of its issued and outstanding shares of common stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”), effective at 12:01 a.m. Eastern Time on August 11, 2025. The Reverse Stock Split was approved by the Company’s stockholders at its Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on June 11, 2025, with the final ratio, within the range approved by stockholders, subsequently determined by the Company’s board of directors. The Reverse Stock Split is intended to bring the Company into compliance with the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market. The Company’s common stock is expected to begin trading on a split-adjusted basis when the markets open on August 11, 2025 under the Company’s existing trading symbol “WATT” with the new CUSIP number 29272C 301. At the effective time of the Reverse Stock Split, every 30 shares of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock will be automatically combined and converted into one issued and outstanding share of common stock without any change in the par value per share. Proportionate adjustments will be made to reduce the number of shares of common stock issuable upon the vesting, settlement and exercise of the Company’s outstanding equity awards and warrants, to reduce the number of shares issued and issuable under the Company’s equity incentive plans, and to increase the exercise and purchase prices of such securities, as applicable. Fractional shares will not be issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. Stockholders who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fractional share will be entitled to receive a cash payment in lieu thereof. The Reverse Stock Split will affect all stockholders uniformly and will not alter any stockholder’s relative interest in the Company’s equity securities, except for any adjustments for fractional shares. Computershare Trust Company, N.A. is acting as the exchange agent and transfer agent for the Reverse Stock Split. Stockholders holding their shares electronically are not required to take any action to receive post-split shares. Stockholders owning shares through a bank, broker or other nominee will have their positions adjusted to reflect the Reverse Stock Split and will receive payment for any fractional shares in accordance with their respective bank’s, broker’s, or nominee’s particular processes.
