SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., April 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Caliber (NASDAQ: CWD), a real estate investor, developer, and manager, today announced that it will effect a 1-for-20 reverse stock split ("Reverse Stock Split") of its Class A common stock, par value $0.001 per share ("Class A Common Stock") and Class B common stock, par value $0.001 per share ("Class B Common Stock", together with the Class A Common Stock, the "Common Stock"), that will become effective on May 2, 2025, at 12:01 a.m. Eastern Time. The Class A Common Stock will continue to trade on The Nasdaq Capital Market ("Nasdaq") under the existing symbol CWD and will begin trading on a split-adjusted basis when the market opens on May 2, 2025. The new CUSIP number for the Class A Common Stock following the Reverse Stock Split will be 13000T604.
The Reverse Stock Split is primarily intended to bring the Company into compliance with the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement for maintaining its listing on Nasdaq. There is no guarantee the Company will meet the minimum bid price requirement.
At the Company's Special Meeting of Stockholders held on April 21, 2025, the Company's stockholders approved a proposal to authorize a reverse stock split of the Company's Common Stock, at a ratio within the range of 1-for-5 to 1-for-20. The Company's board of directors approved a 1-for-20 reverse split ratio, and the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to effect the Reverse Stock Split effective May 2, 2025.
The 1-for-20 Reverse Stock Split will automatically combine and convert twenty current shares of the Company's Common Stock into one issued and outstanding share of Common Stock. The Reverse Stock Split will not change the par value of the Common Stock nor the authorized number of shares of Common Stock, preferred stock or any series of preferred stock.
No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. All fractional shares will be rounded up to the nearest whole share. The Reverse Stock Split will affect all stockholders uniformly and will not alter any stockholder's percentage interest in the Company's equity (other than as a result of the rounding of shares to the nearest whole share in lieu of issuing fractional shares). Currently, prior to the Reverse Stock Split, there are approximately 18,574,292 shares of Class A Common Stock and 7,416,414 shares of Class B Common Stock outstanding, which after the Reverse Stock Split, will be reduced to approximately 928,715 shares of Class A Common Stock and 370,821 shares of Class B Common Stock outstanding.
Registered stockholders holding pre-split shares of the Company's Common Stock electronically in book-entry form are not required to take any action to receive post-split shares. Stockholders owning shares via a broker, bank, trust or other nominee will have their positions automatically adjusted to reflect the Reverse Stock Split, subject to such broker's particular processes, and will not be required to take any action in connection with the Reverse Stock Split.
