Reverse Stock Split; Record Date
Maxeon Solar Technologies, Ltd. (NASDAQ:MAXN) (the “Company”) is reporting that its board of directors (the “Board”) has approved a reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”) of the Company’s ordinary shares, no par value (the “Ordinary Shares”), at a ratio of 1-for-100 (the “Reverse Split Ratio”). The Reverse Stock Split was approved by the Company’s shareholders at the annual general meeting held on August 29, 2024.
The Company is undertaking the Reverse Stock Split with the objective of meeting the minimum $1.00 per Ordinary Share bid requirement for maintaining the listing of the Ordinary Shares on The Nasdaq Global Select Market.
The Reverse Stock Split will be effective at 04:01 p.m. (ET) on Tuesday, October 8, 2024 (the “Record Date”) and the Ordinary Shares will begin trading on a split-adjusted basis when the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC opens for trading on Wednesday, October 9, 2024. The Ordinary Shares will continue to trade on The Nasdaq Global Select Market under the trading symbol “MAXN” but will trade under the following new CUSIP number: Y58473128.
As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, every 100 Ordinary Shares held as of the Record Date will be automatically combined into one Ordinary Share. The number of outstanding Ordinary Shares will be reduced from approximately 1,529 million Ordinary Shares to approximately 15 million Ordinary Shares, to be adjusted for the round-down of fractional shares. No fractional shares will be created or issued in connection with the reverse stock split, and the Board has approved the aggregation and sale of all fractional shares to which holders of the existing outstanding shares would otherwise be entitled to, and the distribution of the proceeds on a pro rata basis to such holders.
The Reverse Stock Split will affect all holders of Ordinary Shares uniformly and will not affect any shareholder’s percentage ownership interest in the Company, except as a result of the treatment of fractional shares. Neither will the Reverse Stock Split have any direct impact on the market capitalization of the Company, nor modify any voting rights or other terms of the Ordinary Shares. The Company’s outstanding warrants, convertible notes, and equity-based awards will be proportionately adjusted.
Shareholders with shares held in book-entry form or through a bank, broker, or other nominee are not required to take any action and will see the impact of the Reverse Stock Split reflected in their accounts on or after October 8, 2024. Such beneficial holders may contact their bank, broker, or nominee for more information.
