SITE Centers Corp. (NYSE: SITC) (the “Company”) today announced that its Board of Directors has unanimously approved a one-for-four reverse stock split of the Company’s common shares. The reverse stock split was authorized by the Company’s shareholders at the annual meeting of shareholders held on May 8, 2024. As a result of the reverse stock split, every four of the Company’s issued common shares will be exchanged for one of the Company’s common shares. The Company’s shareholders will not receive fractional shares in connection with the reverse stock split but will receive cash in lieu of fractional shares. The Company currently anticipates that its common shares will begin trading on a split-adjusted basis on the New York Stock Exchange at the opening of trading on August 19, 2024.
The Company will distribute a letter of transmittal to the holders of record of the Company’s common shares who hold shares in certificated form. The letter of transmittal will provide instructions and other information with respect to the reverse stock split, including procedures for exchanging stock certificates. The accounts of holders of record who hold their shares solely in book-entry form will be updated automatically, so such holders do not need to take any actions in connection with the reverse stock split. Holders of common shares who hold their shares in “street name” through a bank, broker or other nominee should contact their nominee for further information on the reverse stock split.
The Company’s transfer agent, Computershare Trust Company, N.A., will serve as the exchange agent for the reverse stock split.
