Gevo (NASDAQ:GEVO) have announced that stockholders approved an amendment to its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to effect a reverse stock split of the outstanding shares of common stock, by a ratio of not less than one-for-two and not more than one-for-twenty at any time on or prior to January 6, 2017, with the exact ratio to be set at a whole number within this range by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion. Gevo intends to announce the exact ratio for the reverse stock split as soon as it has been determined by the Board of Directors.

As quoted in the press release:

“This is an important result for Gevo as we expect it will allow us to maintain our listing on the NASDAQ Capital Market, thus preserving the liquidity of our stock. More importantly, not being listed on a national securities exchange would potentially have allowed certain holders of our convertible notes to accelerate the repayment of their debt. We ended last quarter with approximately $31.1 million of cash, and we would much prefer using these funds for growing the business rather than using it all to pay off creditors. I would like to thank our stockholders for their ongoing support of Gevo and we look forward to continuing the company’s path towards profitability,” said Pat Gruber, Gevo’s Chief Executive Officer.
