LAS VEGAS, NV, Nov. 08, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Jet.AI Inc. (NASDAQ:JTAI) (the "Company"), today announced that the Company has determined to effect a reverse stock split of its outstanding shares of common stock at a ratio of 1-for-225. The reverse stock split is expected to take effect before markets open on Tuesday, November 12, 2024. The Company's common stock will continue to be traded on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol JTAI and will begin trading on a split-adjusted basis when the market opens on Tuesday, November 12, 2024. The new CUSIP number for the Company's common stock following the reverse stock split will be 47714H308.
The reverse stock split is intended to enable the Company to achieve several important corporate objectives, including enabling the Company to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement under Nasdaq's continued listing criteria and making additional shares of common stock available for future issuance.
At the effective time of the reverse stock split, every 225 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-225 reverse stock split. The reverse split will not result in any change in the par value per share or the total number of authorized shares of common stock.
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. Any fractional share of a stockholder resulting from the reverse stock split will be rounded up to a whole share. 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, convertible preferred stock and warrants, as well as the applicable exercise or conversion price. 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, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust.
