BATAVIA, Ill., May 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — High Wire Networks, Inc. (OTCQB: HWNI), a global provider of managed cybersecurity services, today announced that its board of directors has determined to effect a one-for-250 reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”).
Mark Porter, High Wire Networks CEO commented, “This is an important and essential step in our ongoing efforts to become listed on a major exchange. Inclusive of increasing our stock price, it also better positions the Company to meet several requirements as set out by Nasdaq, while more closely reflecting the true value of our stock to the market. We look forward to continuing the pursuit to list on the Nasdaq and to providing updates to shareholders on our progress.”
The reverse stock split will take effect at market open on Monday June, 2, 2025 on the OTCQB market. The CUSIP number of 42981W203 will be assigned to the Company’s Common Stock when the reverse stock split becomes effective.
When the reverse stock split becomes effective, every 250 of the Company’s issued shares of Common Stock will be combined into one issued share of Common Stock, without any change to the par value per share. This will reduce the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock from approximately 251,151,117 million shares to approximately 1,004,604 million shares.
No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the reverse stock split. Stockholders who would otherwise hold a fraction of a share of Common Stock of the Company will automatically be entitled to receive an additional fraction of a share of Common Stock to round up to the next whole share.
The reverse stock split ratio approved by the board of directors is within the previously disclosed range of ratios for a reverse stock split disclosed in the Company’s Information Statement filed on February 10, 2025.
