Cemtrex Announces 1-For-35 Reverse Stock Split

 - Cemtrex Inc. (NASDAQ: CETX, CETXP), an advanced security technology and industrial services company, today announced that its Board of Directors authorized the stockholders approved 1-for-35 reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”) of its common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”).

The Reverse Stock Split will become effective at 12:01 a.m. Eastern Time on November 26, 2024 (the “Effective Time”). The Common Stock will continue to trade on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “CETX” and will begin trading on a post-split basis when the market opens on November 26, 2024. The new CUSIP number for the Common Stock following the Reverse Stock Split will be 15130G881.

The Reverse Stock Split is intended to enable the Company to regain compliance with the minimum closing bid price requirement for continued listing on Nasdaq.

At the Effective Time of the Reverse Stock Split, every 35 shares of the Company’s issued and outstanding Common Stock will be combined into one share of Common Stock issued and outstanding, with no change to the par value of $0.001 per share. No fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued as a result of the Reverse Stock Split and instead each holder of Common Stock who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fractional share as a result of the Reverse Stock Split will receive one whole share of Common Stock in lieu of such fractional share.

The principal effect of the Reverse Split will be that (i) the number of shares of common stock issued and outstanding will be reduced to one-thirty-fifth that amount, and (ii) all outstanding options and warrants (other than the Adjustable Warrants) entitling the holders thereof to purchase shares of common stock will enable such holders to purchase, upon exercise of their options or warrants, one-twentieth of the number of shares of common stock which such holders would have been able to purchase upon exercise of their options or warrants, immediately preceding the Reverse Split at an exercise price equal to 35 times the exercise price specified before the Reverse Split, resulting in essentially the same aggregate price being required to be paid therefor upon exercise thereof immediately preceding the Reverse Split. Other awards under our 2020 Equity Compensation Plan would be subject to proportionate adjustments.

ClearTrust, LLC is acting as transfer and exchange agent for the Reverse Stock Split. Stockholders with shares held in certificated form will receive from ClearTrust, LLC instructions regarding the exchange of their certificates. Stockholders that hold shares in book-entry form or hold their shares in brokerage accounts are not required to take any action and will see the impact of the Reverse Stock Split reflected in their accounts, subject to brokers’ particular processes. Beneficial holders of Common Stock are encouraged to contact their bank, broker, custodian or other nominee with questions regarding procedures for processing the Reverse Stock Split.
