Recon Technology Announces 1-for-18 Reverse Stock Split

BEIJING, April 26, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Recon Technology, Ltd. (NASDAQ: RCON) ("Recon" or the "Company") announced today that the Company's shareholders approved on March 29, 2024 to effect a reverse stock split of the Company's Class A ordinary shares at the ratio of one-for-eighteen with the market effective date of May 1, 2024.

The objective of the reverse stock split is to enable the Company to regain compliance with the NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 5550(a)(2) and maintain its listing on Nasdaq.

Beginning with the opening of trading on May 1, 2024, the Company's ordinary shares will trade on the NASDAQ Capital Market on a split-adjusted basis, under the same symbol "RCON" but under a new CUSIP Number, G7415M132.

The reverse stock split will reduce the number of Class A ordinary shares issued and outstanding from approximately 141,803,218 to approximately 7,877,956 (subject to adjustment due to the effect of rounding fractional shares into whole shares).

As a result of the reverse stock split, each eighteen pre-split Class A ordinary shares outstanding will automatically combine and convert to one issued and outstanding Class A ordinary share without any action on the part of the shareholder. No fractional ordinary shares will be issued to any shareholders in connection with the reverse stock split. Each shareholder will be entitled to receive one Class A ordinary share in lieu of the fractional share that would have resulted from the reverse stock split.

Forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors that may change at any time and may cause actual results to differ materially from those that Recon expected. Many of these statements are derived from Recon's operating budgets and forecasts, which are based on many detailed assumptions that Recon believes are reasonable, or are based on various assumptions about certain plans, activities or events which we expect will or may occur in the future. However, it is very difficult to predict the effect of known factors, and Recon cannot anticipate all factors that could affect actual results that may be important to an investor.
