February 03, 2025 08:05 ET | Source: Tonix Pharmaceuticals Holding Corp. CHATHAM, N.J., Feb. 03, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Tonix Pharmaceuticals Holding Corp. (Nasdaq: TNXP) (Tonix or the Company), a fully-integrated biopharmaceutical company with marketed products and a pipeline of development candidates, today announced that it will effect a 1-for-100 reverse stock split of its outstanding common stock. The reverse stock split will be effective for trading purposes as of the commencement of trading on February 5, 2025. The reverse stock split is intended to increase the per share trading price of Tonix’s common stock to satisfy the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on The NASDAQ Capital Market (Rule 5550(a)(1)). Tonix’s common stock will continue to trade on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbol “TNXP” and under a new CUSIP number, 890260839. As a result of the reverse stock split, every one hundred pre-split shares of common stock outstanding will become one share of common stock. The reverse split will also apply to common stock issuable upon the exercise of Tonix’s outstanding warrants and stock options. The reverse stock split will not proportionately reduce the number of shares of authorized common stock, as permitted under Nevada law, as shareholder approval for the reverse stock split was obtained on October 30, 2024. Tonix’s transfer agent, VStock Transfer LLC, which is also acting as the exchange agent for the reverse split, will provide instructions to shareholders regarding the process for exchanging share certificates. Any fractional shares of common stock resulting from the reverse stock split will be rounded up to the nearest whole post-split share and no shareholders will receive cash in lieu of fractional shares.
