(Nasdaq: ZKIN) ("ZK International" or the "Company"), a leading engineering Company focused on high-performance steel products, announces a 1-for-7 reverse split of its ordinary shares approved by the Company's Board of Directors on January 14, 2025.
Beginning on January 31, 2025, the Company's ordinary shares will begin trading on the NASDAQ Stock Market on an adjusted basis, reflecting the reverse stock split, under the exiting symbol "ZKIN". The new CUSIP number for the ordinary shares following the reverse stock split will be G9892K209.
Upon effectiveness of the reverse stock split, every 7 shares of the Company's issued and outstanding ordinary shares will automatically be converted into one share of issued and outstanding ordinary shares. No fractional shares will be issued as a result of the reverse stock split. Instead, any fractional shares that would have resulted from the split will be rounded up to the next whole number.
Registered shareholders holding their shares of ordinary shares in book-entry or through a bank, broker or other nominee form do not need to take any action in connection with the reverse stock split. Shareholders holding physical stock certificates will also generally receive book-entry shares instead of their existing certificates. The Company's transfer agent, Securities Transfer Corporation, will send further instructions.
The reverse stock split is intended to increase the per share trading price of the Company's ordinary shares to satisfy the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement for continued listing of the ordinary shares on the NASDAQ Stock Market. Following the reverse stock split, the Company's 36,147,625 issued and outstanding shares of ordinary shares will amount to approximately 5,163,946 shares of ordinary shares issued and outstanding.
