DURHAM, N.C., Jan. 16, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Scorpius Holdings, Inc (NYSE American: SCPX) (“Scorpius” or “the Company”), an integrated contract development and manufacturing organization (“CDMO”), today announced that the Company’s Board of Directors approved a 1-for-20 reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”) of the Company’s common stock (the “Common Stock”), to increase the selling price of the Company’s Common Stock in order to maintain compliance with the requirements and policies of the NYSE American.

The Reverse Stock Split will take legal effect at 12:01 A.M. Eastern Time on January 21, 2025, and the Company's Common Stock will open for trading on the NYSE American on January 21, 2025, on a post-split basis, under the existing ticker symbol "SCPX" but with a new CUSIP number 42237K607.

At Scorpius’ Special Meeting of Stockholders (the “Special Meeting”) held on January 16, 2025, the Company’s stockholders approved a proposal to amend the Company’s certificate of incorporation to effect a reverse stock split of its Common Stock at a ratio of between 1-for-5 to 1-for-35, with the ratio within such range to be determined at the discretion of the Company’s Board. Following the Special Meeting, the Board approved a final split ratio of 1-for-20. Following the Reverse Stock Split, the ownership percentage of each stockholder will remain unchanged, other than with respect to fractional shares. No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. In lieu of fractional shares, any person who would otherwise be entitled to a fractional share of Common Stock as a result of the Reverse Stock Split will receive a cash payment equal to the number of fractional shares that would otherwise have been issued multiplied by the average closing sales price of the Common Stock as reported on the NYSE American LLC for the ten days prior to the effective date of the Reverse Stock Split.

Additional details regarding the Company’s Reverse Stock Split can be found in the Current Report on Form 8-K that the Company will file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).
