TOP Ships Announces Reverse Stock Split
28 Settembre 2023 - 2:00PM
TOP Ships Inc. (NASDAQ: TOPS) (the “Company”), announced today that
it has determined to effect a 1-for-12 reverse stock split of the
Company’s issued common shares. The Company’s shareholders approved
the reverse stock split and granted the Board the authority to
determine the exact split ratio and when to proceed with the
reverse stock split at the Company’s Annual Meeting of Shareholders
held on September 5, 2022.
The reverse stock split is expected to take
effect, and the Company’s common stock will begin trading on a
split-adjusted basis on the NASDAQ Capital Market, as of the
opening of trading on Friday, September 29, 2023 under the existing
ticker symbol “TOPS.” The new CUSIP number for the Company’s common
stock will be Y8897Y 230.
When the reverse stock split becomes effective,
every 12 shares of the Company’s issued and outstanding common
stock will be automatically combined into one issued and
outstanding share of common stock without any change in the par
value per share or the total number of authorized shares. This will
reduce the number of outstanding shares of the Company’s common
stock from approximately 20.3 million shares to approximately 1.7
million shares.
No fractional shares will be issued in
connection with the reverse split of the issued and outstanding
common stock. Shareholders shall be paid cash-in-lieu of a

split. Shareholders will receive instructions from the Company’s
exchange agent, Equiniti Trust Company, LLC, as to how to exchange
existing share certificates for new certificates representing the
post-reverse split shares.
