Qilian International Holding Group Limited Announces 1 for 5 Reverse Share Split
CHENGDU, China, June 18, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Qilian International Holding Group Limited (NASDAQ:QLI) ("Qilian" or the "Company"), a China-based pharmaceutical and chemical products manufacturer, announced today that an 1 for 5 reverse split of its authorized share capital, was approved by the Company's board of directors on May 29, 2023 and will become effective on June 21, 2024. In connection with the reverse share split, the Company's shareholders will receive one new Class A ordinary share or Class B ordinary share of the Company for every five Class A ordinary shares or every five Class B ordinary shares they hold, respectively. The Company's Class A ordinary shares are expected to begin trading on a split-adjusted basis when the market opens on June 21, 2024.
The reverse share split is expected to lead the Company's Class A ordinary shares to trade at approximately five times the price per share at which it trades prior to the effectiveness of the reverse share split. The Company, however, cannot assure that the price of its Class A ordinary shares after the reverse split will reflect the 1 for 5 reverse split ratio, that the price per share following the effective time of the reverse split will be maintained for any period of time, or that the price will remain above the pre-split trading price.
The Company has filed the Amended and Restated Articles and Memorandum of Association in connection with the reverse share split. Immediately prior to the reverse split, there are 23,750,000 of the Company's Class A Ordinary Shares and 12,000,000 Class B ordinary shares outstanding. Effecting the 1 for 5 reverse split will reduce the number of issued and outstanding shares to approximately 4,750,000 Class A ordinary shares and 2,400,000 Class B ordinary shares. As a result of the reverse split, the Company's authorized share capital will be changed to 70,000,000 Class A Ordinary Shares, par value $0.00833335 each, 20,000,000 Class B Ordinary Shares, par value $0.00833335 each, and 10,000,000 preferred shares, par value $0.00833335 each.
Fractional Shares
Any fractional shares that would have resulted because of the Reverse Split will be rounded up to the nearest whole share.
New Ordinary Share Certificates
Certificates reflecting the new share number will be issued in due course as old share certificates are tendered for exchange or transfer to the Company's transfer agent, VStock. Registered shareholders holding pre-split shares of the Company's ordinary shares electronically in book-entry form are not required to take any action to receive post-split shares. Shareholders who hold their shares through a securities broker or nominee (i.e., in "street name") will be contacted by their brokers or nominees with any instructions. For more information, shareholders and securities brokers should contact VStock at (212)828-8436.
