TransCode Therapeutics Announces Effective Date for 1-for-28 Reverse Stock Split

, /PRNewswire/ -- TransCode Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: RNAZ) ("TransCode" or the "Company"), the RNA Oncology Company™ committed to more effectively treating cancer using RNA therapeutics, today announced that its Board of Directors has approved an effective time at 12:01 a.m. Eastern Standard Time May 15, 2025, for its 1-for-28 reverse stock split. TransCode's common stock is expected to begin trading on a split-adjusted basis on the Nasdaq Capital Market on May 15, 2025, under the current trading symbol, "RNAZ." The reverse stock split was approved by TransCode's stockholders and Board of Directors on May 2, 2025, and is intended to increase the per share trading price of the Company's common stock to enable the Company to meet the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market. There is no assurance that TransCode's common stock will meet all Nasdaq requirements for continued listing. As previously announced, the 1-for-28 reverse stock split will automatically convert twenty-eight current shares of TransCode's common stock into one new share of common stock. No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the reverse stock split. In lieu of issuing fractional shares, stockholders of record who otherwise would be entitled to receive fractional shares will be entitled to rounding up of the fractional share to the nearest whole number. The reverse split will reduce the number of shares of outstanding common stock from 23,341,336 shares to approximately 833,620 shares. Proportional adjustments also will be made to the exercise prices of TransCode's outstanding stock options and warrants, and to the number of shares issuable under TransCode's stock incentive plans. Vstock Transfer LLC will act as the exchange agent for the reverse stock split. Stockholders of record are not required to take any action to receive post-split shares in book-entry. Stockholders owning shares through a bank, broker, custodian or other nominee will have their positions automatically adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split, subject to the holding entity's particular processes; such stockholders will not be required to take any action in connection with the reverse stock split. However, these banks, brokers, custodians or other nominees may have different procedures for processing the reverse stock split than those for registered stockholders. If a stockholder holds shares of common stock with a bank, broker, custodian or other nominee and has any questions in this regard, stockholders are encouraged to contact their bank, broker, custodian or other nominee for more information. In connection with the reverse stock split, the Company's CUSIP number will change to 89357L 501 as of 12:01 a.m. Eastern Standard Time on May 15, 2025.
