ZyVersa Therapeutics, Inc. Announces Reverse Stock Split and Increase in Authorized Shares of Common Stock

WESTON, Fla., Nov. 30, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ZyVersa Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: ZVSA, or “ZyVersa” or the “Company”), a clinical stage specialty biopharmaceutical company developing first-in-class drugs for treatment of renal and inflammatory diseases with high unmet needs, announces that its board of directors has approved a 1-for-35 reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock. The board of directors has also approved an increase in the Company’s authorized shares of capital stock. The Company’s stockholders approved the reverse stock split and the increase in authorized capital stock at the Company’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on October 31, 2023. The stockholders granted the board of directors the authority to determine the exact split ratio and when to proceed with the reverse stock split.

The reverse stock split will become effective on December 4, 2023 at 4:01 pm, Eastern Time, (“Effective Time”) and the Company’s common stock is expected to begin trading on a reverse stock split-adjusted basis on The Nasdaq Global Market (“Nasdaq”) on December 5, 2023 at market open under the existing ticker symbol, “ZVSA.” The reverse stock split is intended to increase the price per share of the Company’s common stock to allow the Company to demonstrate compliance with the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on Nasdaq, among other benefits.

As of the Effective Time, every 35 shares of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock will be combined into one share of common stock. The par value per share of our common stock will remain unchanged at $0.0001. Proportional adjustments will be made to the number of shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Company’s equity awards, convertible securities and warrants, as well as the applicable exercise price, and the number of shares authorized and reserved for issuance pursuant to the Company’s equity incentive plans.

No fractional shares will be issued as a result of the reverse stock split; rather, the Company will issue an additional fraction of a share of common stock to round the number of shares to the nearest whole share, so no stockholder will hold fractional shares following the reverse stock split.

The Company’s transfer agent, Continental Stock & Trust Company, will serve as the exchange agent for the reverse stock split. Registered stockholders holding pre-reverse stock split shares of common stock electronically in book-entry form are not required to take any action to receive post-reverse stock split shares. Those stockholders who hold their shares in brokerage accounts or in “street name” will have their positions automatically adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split, subject to each broker’s particular processes, and will not be required to take any action in connection with the reverse stock split.

Likewise, effective November 30, 2023, the Company amended its certificate of incorporation to increase the authorized number of shares of the Company’s capital stock from 111,000,000 to 251,000,000 and the number of authorized shares of common stock from 110,000,000 to 250,000,000.

Additional information about the reverse stock split and increase in authorized capital stock can be found in the Company’s definitive proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 13, 2023, a copy of which is available at www.sec.gov.
