InVivo Therapeutics Announces Reverse Stock Split

InVivo Therapeutics Holdings Corp. (NASDAQ:NVIV) today announced a 1-for-25 reverse stock split of its common stock and a proportionate reduction in its authorized common stock. The company anticipates the reverse stock split will become effective at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on April 26, 2022, and shares of InVivo Therapeutics common stock will trade on a post-split basis under the company's existing trading symbol, "NVIV," at the market open on April 27, 2022. The new CUSIP number for the company's common stock following the reverse stock split will be CUSIP 46186M 605/ISIN US46186M6057.

At the effective time of the reverse stock split, every 25 shares of InVivo Therapeutics common stock will be combined into 1 share of InVivo Therapeutics common stock.  In connection with the reverse stock split, the authorized shares will be reduced from 50 million shares to 2 million shares. The reverse stock split is anticipated to reduce the company's issued and outstanding shares of common stock from approximately 34.3 million to approximately 1.4 million. Fractional shares resulting from the reverse stock split will be rounded up to the nearest whole share, and all shares of common stock (including fractions thereof) issuable upon the reverse stock split to a given stockholder shall be aggregated for the purpose of determining whether the reverse stock split would result in the issuance of a fractional share. In addition, proportionate adjustments will be made to the exercise prices of the company's outstanding stock options and warrants and to the number of shares issued and issuable under the company's existing stock incentive plans.

The implementation of the reverse stock split is intended to increase the per share trading price of the company's common stock to fulfill the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market.
