Arlington, Massachusetts--(Newsfile Corp. - November 12, 2026) - KALA BIO, Inc. (NASDAQ: KALA) ("KALA BIO" or the "Company"), today announced that it intends to effect a reverse stock split of its common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the "common stock"), at a ratio of 1 post-split share for every 30 pre-split shares. The reverse stock split will become effective at 4:05 p.m. on Friday, November 13, 2026. The Company's common stock will continue to be traded on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol KALA and will begin trading on a split-adjusted basis when the market opens on Monday, November 16, 2026. The new CUSIP number for the common stock following the reverse stock split is 483119400.
At a special meeting of stockholders, held on November 3, 2026, the Company's stockholders granted the Company's Board of Directors the discretion to effect a reverse stock split of the Company's common stock through an amendment to its Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, at a ratio of not less than 1-for-2 and not more than 1-for-300, with such ratio to be determined by the Company's Board of Directors.
At the effective time of the reverse stock split, every thirty (30) shares of the Company's issued and outstanding common stock will be converted automatically into one issued and outstanding share of common stock without any change in the par value per share. Stockholders holding shares through a brokerage account will have their shares automatically adjusted to reflect the 1-for-30 reverse stock split. It is not necessary for stockholders holding shares of the Company's common stock in certificated form to exchange their existing stock certificates for new stock certificates of the Company in connection with the reverse stock split, although stockholders may do so if they wish.
The reverse stock split will affect all stockholders uniformly and will not alter any stockholder's percentage interest in the Company's equity, except to the extent that the reverse stock split would result in a stockholder owning a fractional share. No fractional shares will be issued. Stockholders that would hold fractional shares as a result of the Reverse Stock Split are entitled to receive a cash payment in lieu of said fractional shares based on the closing price on the Nasdaq Capital Market on November 12, 2026. The reverse stock split will reduce the number of shares of the Company's common stock outstanding from 19,339,786 shares to approximately 644,659 shares. Proportional adjustments will be made to the number of shares of the Company's common stock issuable upon exercise or conversion of the Company's equity awards, warrants and other convertible securities, as well as the applicable exercise or conversion price thereof. Stockholders with shares in brokerage accounts should direct any questions concerning the reverse stock split to their broker; all other stockholders may direct questions to the Company's transfer agent, Equiniti Trust Company, LLC, at (929) 469-2386.
