HORSHAM, Pa., April 06, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- STRATA Skin Sciences, Inc. (NASDAQ:SSKN) (“STRATA”) a medical
technology company dedicated to developing and commercializing innovative products for the treatment and diagnosis of serious
dermatologic disorders, today announced a reverse stock split of its shares of common stock at a ratio of 1-for-5 to become
effective at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on April 6, 2017. At the opening of trading on April 7, 2017, STRATA’s common stock will begin
trading on a split-adjusted basis and the number of shares of STRATA’s common stock outstanding will decrease from approximately
10.9 million pre-split shares to approximately 2.2 million post-split shares. STRATA’s new CUSIP number will be 86272A 206,
and its common stock will continue to trade on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “SSKN.”
The primary purpose of the reverse stock split is to enable STRATA to regain compliance with the $1.00 minimum bid price
requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market. STRATA has until April 24, 2017 to regain compliance with the
minimum bid price requirement and has submitted written notice to Nasdaq of its intention to cure the minimum bid price deficiency
by effecting a reverse stock split. To regain compliance, the closing bid price of STRATA’s common stock must be at least $1.00 for
a minimum of ten consecutive trading days.
In the reverse stock split, every five shares of STRATA’s common stock outstanding will automatically be changed and
reclassified into one new share of common stock. No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the reverse stock split.
Any fractional share of common stock that would otherwise have resulted from the reverse stock split will be rounded up to the
nearest whole share.
The reverse stock split will affect all STRATA stockholders uniformly and will not affect any stockholder’s percentage ownership
interests in STRATA (except to the extent that the reverse stock split results in any stockholders owning only a fractional share).
Additionally, all STRATA convertible notes, convertible preferred stock, stock options, other equity awards and warrants
outstanding immediately prior to the reverse stock split will be proportionately adjusted.
STRATA’s transfer agent, American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC, which is also acting as the exchange agent for the
reverse split, will provide instructions to stockholders regarding the process for exchanging share certificates.
Stockholders who hold their shares electronically in book-entry form at a brokerage firm need not take any action, as their shares
will automatically be adjusted by their brokerage firm to reflect the reverse stock split. Beneficial holders may contact their
bank, broker or nominee with any questions regarding the procedure of implementing the reverse stock split.
