Reverse Stock-Split, Share Capital Increase and Share Capital Alteration to be effective on August 25, 2025
HONG KONG, Aug. 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- SU Group Holdings Limited (Nasdaq: SUGP) ("SU Group" or the "Company"), an integrated security-related engineering services company in Hong Kong, today announced that it will effect a 1-for-10 reverse stock split ("Share Consolidation") of its ordinary shares, par value HK$0.01 per share ("Ordinary Shares"), an increase in its authorized share capital ("Share Capital Increase"), and an alteration to its share capital structure ("Share Capital Alteration"). These actions were approved by the board of directors of the Company on June 26, 2025, by the audit committee of the Company on June 26, 2025, and by the Company's shareholders at the Extraordinary General Meeting held on July 31, 2025 at 10 p.m. Eastern Standard Time (August 1, 2025 at 10 a.m. Hong Kong time).
Share Consolidation
The Share Consolidation, approved as an ordinary resolution, will combine every ten Ordinary Shares into one Ordinary Share with a par value of HK$0.10. The Share Consolidation will become effective at 12:01 a.m. Eastern Time on Monday, August 25, 2025, and the Company's Ordinary Shares will commence trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market on a post-split basis at the opening of the market on August 25, 2025. The Company's Ordinary Shares will continue to trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the Company's existing trading symbol, "SUGP," and a new CUSIP number G8552M117 has been assigned as a result of the Share Consolidation.
The Share Consolidation 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.
The Share Consolidation will reduce the number of issued and outstanding ordinary shares of the Company from approximately 13,847,500 to approximately 1,384,750. No fractional shares will be issued. Each shareholder will be entitled to receive one consolidated share in lieu of any fractional share, resulting in all fractional shares being rounded up to the nearest whole number.
The 1-for-10 Share Consolidation (the "Ratio") will automatically combine and convert 10 current Ordinary Shares into 1 issued and outstanding new Ordinary Share. The Company's transfer agent, Transhare Corporation, will serve as exchange for the Share Consolidation. Registered shareholders holding pre-split Ordinary Shares electronically in book-entry form are not required to take any action to receive post-split shares. Shareholders owning shares via a broker, bank, trust or other nominee will have their positions automatically adjusted to reflect the Share Consolidation, subject to such broker's particular processes, and will not be required to take any action in connection with the Share Consolidation. Holders of stock certificates will need to send their old physical certificates with a letter of transmittal to receive their new post-Share Consolidation certificate.
Share Capital Increase
Subject to the Share Consolidation taking effect, the Share Capital Increase, approved as an ordinary resolution, will increase the authorized share capital from HK$7,500,000, divided into 75,000,000 shares of a nominal or par value of HK$0.10 each (the "Consolidated Shares"), to HK$75,000,000, divided into 750,000,000 Consolidated Shares. This increase will provide the Company with greater flexibility for future issuances of shares.
Share Capital Alteration
Subject to the Share Consolidation and Share Capital Increase taking effect, the Share Capital Alteration, approved as a special resolution, will amend the share capital of the Company by:
- Authorized Share Capital Change: Re-designating the authorized share capital from HK$75,000,000, comprising 750,000,000 Consolidated Shares, into 749,098,320 Class A ordinary shares, par value HK$0.10 each ("Class A Ordinary Shares"), and 901,680 Class B ordinary shares, par value HK$0.10 each ("Class B Ordinary Shares"), with rights, privileges, and restrictions as set out in the amended memorandum and articles of association (the "M&A Amendments") of the Company.
- Issued Share Capital Change: Re-designating the issued and outstanding Consolidated Shares as follows:
(a) 842,280 Consolidated Shares held by Exceptional Engineering Limited will be re-designated as 842,280 Class B Ordinary Shares.
(b) 59,400 Consolidated Shares held by DC & Partners Incorporation Limited will be re-designated as 59,400 Class B Ordinary Shares.
(c) All other Consolidated Shares will be re-designated as Class A Ordinary Shares on a one-for-one basis.
- M&A Amendments: Amending the memorandum and articles of association of the Company to reflect the new share structure, including the rights and privileges of Class A and Class B Ordinary Shares. Each Class A Ordinary Share will carry one (1) vote, and each Class B Ordinary Share will carry fifty (50) votes on a poll at any general meeting of the Company. Class B Ordinary Shares may be converted into Class A Ordinary Shares on a one-for-one basis voluntarily at the option of the holder or automatically upon transfer to any person or entity, subject to certain conditions.
The Share Capital Alteration will significantly increase the voting power of Mr. Chan Ming Dave, the Company's chairman and executive officer, from approximately 65.84% to 98.96% of the total voting power, as he beneficially owns all Class B Ordinary Shares through Exceptional Engineering Limited and DC & Partners Incorporation Limited, as well as certain Class A Ordinary Shares in his own name.
Additional Information
Each outstanding stock option, warrant, restricted share unit, or other security convertible into pre-Share Consolidation Ordinary Shares that has not been exercised or cancelled prior to the effective date will be adjusted pursuant to the terms of the instrument or plan governing such security based on the 1-for-10 ratio. The Share Consolidation will change the par value of the Ordinary Shares from HK$0.01 to HK$0.10 and the authorized number of shares will be correspondingly reduced as described. The Share Capital Increase will restore the authorized number of shares to its pre-Share Consolidation level. The Share Capital Alteration will not affect the validity or transferability of outstanding share certificates, but will modify the capital structure of the Company to consist of Class A and Class B Ordinary Shares with different voting rights. The trading of the Company's Class A Ordinary Shares on Nasdaq is expected to continue without disruption, subject to compliance with Nasdaq listing requirements.
