Reverse Stock Split

On April 24, 2026, C3is Inc. (the “Company”) filed an amendment to its Restated Articles of Incorporation, to effectuate a reverse stock split of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock, par value of $0.01 per share. A copy of the amendment is attached hereto as Exhibit 4.1.

Effective as of 11:59 p.m. Eastern time on April 26, 2026, the Company effected a one-for-7 reverse stock split of its shares of common stock, and the Company’s common stock began trading on a split-adjusted basis on The Nasdaq Capital Market as of the opening of trading on April 27, 2026. The reverse stock split reduced the number of outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock from approximately 3.8 million to approximately 528,305 and affected all outstanding shares of common stock. No fractional shares were issued in connection with the reverse split. Stockholders who would otherwise hold a fractional share of the Company’s common stock received a cash payment in lieu of such fractional share. The Company’s outstanding warrants and Series A Convertible Preferred Stock will be proportionately adjusted to increase the exercise price and reduce the number of shares issuable upon exercise to reflect the reverse stock split.

The exercise price of the Class B-1, B-2, C-1 and C-2 Warrants, and accordingly the conversion price of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, will be further adjusted to the lowest daily volume weighted average price during the period commencing five consecutive trading days immediately preceding and the five consecutive trading days following the effective time of the reverse split (if lower than the then current exercise price), with the Class B-1 and C-1 warrants also being exercisable pursuant to an alternative zero cash exercise exchange option, and the number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise will be proportionately adjusted such that the aggregate exercise price of such warrants as of their original issuance date will remain unchanged.

The par value and other terms of the Company’s shares of common stock were not affected by the reverse stock split. The Company’s post-reverse split common shares have a new CUSIP number, Y18284 300 , and continue to trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “CISS”.

A copy of the new form of stock certificate for the Company’s post-reverse stock split shares of common stock is attached hereto as Exhibit 4.2.
