SHENZHEN, China, July 31, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Taoping Inc. (Nasdaq: TAOP, the "Company" or "Taoping"), today announced that the board of directors of the Company approved a one-for-ten reverse stock split of the Company's issued and outstanding ordinary shares, no par value (the "Ordinary Shares"). Beginning August 1, 2023, the Company's Ordinary Shares will be trading on a split-adjusted basis under the same symbol "TAOP" but with new CUSIP number, G8675V 127.
As a result of the share consolidation, each ten Ordinary Shares outstanding will automatically combine and convert to one issued and outstanding Ordinary Share without any action on the part of shareholders who hold their shares in brokerage accounts or "street name". Shareholders holding certificates of Ordinary Shares are expected to receive instructions from the Company's transfer agent, Transhare Corporation, regarding procedures for exchanging share certificates. All outstanding options, warrants and other rights to purchase the Company's Ordinary Shares will be adjusted proportionately as a result of the reverse stock split. No fractional shares will be issued as a result of the reverse stock split, and instead, all such fractional shares resulting from the reverse stock split will be rounded up to the nearest whole share.
The reverse stock split is intended to increase the per share trading price of the Ordinary Shares to satisfy the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on the NASDAQ Stock Market. Following the reverse stock split the Company will have approximately 1.86 million Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding, exclusive of shares issuable under outstanding options and warrants. The reverse stock split will not affect the number of total authorized Ordinary Shares of the Company.
