NEW YORK, Jan. 25, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Intelligent Bio Solutions Inc. (Nasdaq: INBS) (“Intelligent Bio Solutions” or the “Company”), a medical technology company delivering intelligent, rapid, non-invasive testing solutions, today announced that it will effect a 1-for-12 reverse split of its common stock, that will become effective at 5:00 pm (Eastern Time) on January 26, 2024. Trading of the Company's common stock on The Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) will continue, on a split-adjusted basis, with the opening of the markets on January 29, 2024, under the trading symbol “INBS” and new CUSIP number 36151G600.

The reverse stock split was approved by Intelligent Bio Solutions’ stockholders at the annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders held on December 13, 2023, with the final ratio to be determined by the Company’s Board of Directors within the ratio range authorized by shareholders. The reverse stock split is primarily intended to increase the Company’s per share trading price and bring the Company into compliance with Nasdaq’s listing requirement regarding minimum share price.

As a result of the reverse stock split, every 12 shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of the effective date will be automatically combined into one share of common stock. In addition, a proportionate adjustment will be made to outstanding equity-based awards and other equity rights, including warrants. No fractional shares will be issued as a result of the reverse stock split. Stockholders of record who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fractional share will be entitled to the rounding up of the fractional share to the nearest whole number. The par value of the common stock will remain unchanged at $0.01 per share after the reverse split, and the number of authorized shares of common stock will remain at 100 million shares. Immediately after the reverse stock split becomes effective, the Company will have approximately 1,494,223 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. The reverse split affects all stockholders uniformly and will not alter any stockholder’s percentage interest in the Company’s equity, except to the extent that the reverse split results in some stockholders owning a fractional share as described above.
