Outlook Therapeutics Announces Reverse Stock Split

Outlook Therapeutics (NASDAQ:OTLK) has announced its board of directors has approved a 1-for-8 reverse stock split of its common stock.

As quoted in the press release:

Beginning on March 18, 2019, the Company’s common stock will trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market on a reverse stock split-adjusted basis under the new CUSIP number 69012T206.

As previously disclosed, at the Company’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on September 21, 2018, the Company’s stockholders approved a proposal authorizing the Company’s Board of Directors to effect a reverse stock split by a ratio of not less than one-for-two and not more than one-for-ten.

The reverse stock split uniformly affects all issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock. The reverse stock split will not alter any stockholder’s percentage ownership interest in the Company, except to the extent that the reverse stock split results in fractional shares. No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the reverse stock split. Stockholders who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fractional share will instead receive a cash payment based on the closing sales price of the Company’s common stock on March 15, 2019. The par value of the Company’s common stock will remain unchanged at $0.01 per share after the reverse stock split.

The reverse stock split proportionately affects the number of shares of common stock available for issuance under the Company’s equity incentive plans. All options, warrants, and convertible securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior to the reverse stock split will be adjusted in accordance with their terms.

The reverse stock split will reduce the number of shares of common stock issued and outstanding from approximately 94.1 million to approximately 11.8 million. There is no change to the number of authorized shares.
