Lichen China Limited Announces Effective Date of Reverse Stock Split and Name Change

, /PRNewswire/ -- Lichen China Limited (Nasdaq: LICN) ("Lichen China" or the "Company"), a dedicated financial and taxation service provider in China today announced the date of effectiveness and the ratio of a forthcoming reverse stock split (the "Reverse Split") of the Company's ordinary shares (the "Ordinary Shares"). On February 12, 2025, the Company announced, on a Current Report on Form 6-K, the voting results from the annual meeting of shareholders (the "Meeting") held on February 10, 2025. At the Meeting, shareholders voted upon and approved Proposal 2 to effect a Reverse Split with a ratio of not less than one-for-twenty and not more than one-for-two-hundred within one year after the date of passing of the resolution, with the exact ratio to be set at a whole number within this range as determined by the Company's board of directors (the "Board") in its sole discretion. On February 10, 2025, the Board approved a one-for-two-hundred (1:200) Reverse Split of the Company's issued and unissued Class A and Class B ordinary shares. The Company anticipates that beginning with the opening of trading on March 3, 2025, the Company's Class A ordinary shares will trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market on a split-adjusted basis and will have a new CUSIP number, G5479G116. The Reverse Split affects all issued and outstanding shares of the Ordinary Shares. In addition, the Reverse Split reduces the number of Ordinary Shares issuable upon the exercise of share options or warrants outstanding immediately prior to the Reverse Split. The par value of the Ordinary Shares will increase to $0.008 per share after the Reverse Split. The Reverse Split affects all shareholders uniformly and will not alter any shareholder's percentage interest in the Company's equity. No fractional shares will be issued; instead, shareholders who would otherwise be entitled to a fractional share will have their entitlement rounded up to the nearest whole share. The Company anticipates that the reverse stock split will increase the market price per share of the Company's Ordinary Shares, bringing the Company into compliance with The Nasdaq Capital Market's $1.00 minimum bid price listing requirement. Registered shareholders holding pre-split shares of the Company's Ordinary Shares are not required to take any action to receive post-split shares. Shareholders owning shares via a broker, bank, trust or other nominee will have their positions automatically adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split, and will not be required to take any action in connection with the reverse stock split. Additionally, the Company has officially changed its name from Lichen China Limited to Lichen International Limited, with the change expected to take effect on March 3, 2025. This name change was duly approved by the Company's shareholders on February 10, 2025. Moving forward, the Company will operate under its new name, and all existing agreements, rights, and obligations will remain unchanged.
