ROSEVILLE, Calif., Aug. 29, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sunworks, Inc. (Nasdaq: SUNW), a provider of solar power solutions for agriculture, commercial and industrial (ACI), public works and residential markets, today announced that it will effect a one-for-seven reverse stock split of its outstanding common stock. The purpose of the reverse stock split is to bring the company into compliance with the minimum $1.00 price per share bid requirement of Nasdaq's Marketplace Rule 5550(a)(2).
The company’s common stock will continue trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol ”SUNW” on a reverse stock split adjusted basis when the market opens tomorrow, August 30, 2019.
The company’s stockholders approved a proposal authorizing the company’s Board of Directors to effect a reverse stock split in a range of 1:3 to 1:10 at the company’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on August 7, 2019.
The reverse stock split uniformly affects all issued and outstanding shares of the company’s common stock and will not alter any stockholder's percentage ownership interest in the company, except to the extent that the reverse stock split results in fractional interests. No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the reverse stock split. Stockholders will be issued one whole share of common stock in exchange for any fractional interest that such stockholder would have otherwise received as a result of the reverse stock split. The reverse stock split proportionately affects the number of shares of common stock available for issuance under the company’s equity incentive plans. All options, warrants and stock awards of the company outstanding immediately prior to the reverse stock split will be adjusted in accordance with their terms.
The reverse stock split will reduce the number of shares of common stock issued and outstanding from 32,660,496 to 4,665,786 plus any shares to be issued in exchange for fractional interests. The number of authorized shares of common stock (200,000,000) will not be changed by the reverse stock split.
The company’s transfer agent, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust, is acting as the exchange agent for the reverse stock split. Continental will provide instructions to stockholders of record regarding the exchange of stock certificates, as applicable. Stockholders who hold their shares in brokerage accounts or “street name” are not required to take any action to effect the exchange of their shares. Shareholders with questions related to the transfer or mechanics of the reverse, may contact Continental Stock Transfer & Trust, 1 State Street, 30th Floor, New York, NY 10004-1561 or by phone at (212) 509-4000.
