March 27, 2025 at 08:30 AM EDT

MESA, Ariz., March 27, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Nxu, Inc., (NASDAQ: NXU) (“Nxu”, “the Company”), a domestic technology company focused on energy storage and charging solutions for the infrastructure we need to power our electrified future, today announced a planned reverse stock split of its shares of Class A common stock (the “common stock”) at a ratio of 1-for-20. The reverse stock split is expected to take effect as of 12:01 a.m. ET, on Monday, March 31, 2025, and shares of the Company’s Class A common stock are expected to begin trading on a post-split basis on the Nasdaq Capital Market at the market open on March 31, 2025 under the existing trading symbol “NXU”.

Reverse Stock Split Details

At the Company’s special meeting of stockholders held on February 11, 2025, the Company’s stockholders approved amending the Company’s certificate of incorporation to, among other things, effect a reverse stock split of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock at a ratio of 1-for-5 to 1-for-20, with the final ratio to be determined in the discretion of the Company’s board of directors, which was subsequently set at a ratio of 1-for-20. Following the reverse stock split, the new CUSIP number of the Company’s Class A common stock will be 62956D303, with the par value per share of the Class A common stock remaining at $0.0001. Proportionate adjustments will be made to the per-share exercise prices and/or the number of shares issuable under all outstanding options, warrants, and equity awards.

“The reverse stock split is being implemented as part of our continued efforts to complete our proposed merger with Verde Bioresins and ensure we maintain our NASDAQ compliance,” said Nxu Founder, Chairman, and CEO Mark Hanchett. “We also believe that the increased market price of the Class A common stock that is expected as a result of the reverse stock split could improve the marketability of the Company’s shares.”

When the reverse stock split becomes effective, every 20 shares of the Company’s issued and outstanding Class A common stock will be combined into one share of Class A 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 results in some stockholders owning a fractional share. No fractional shares will be issued in the reverse stock split. Any fractional shares resulting from the reverse stock split will be rounded up to the nearest whole share of Class A common stock. The reverse stock split will not change the number of authorized shares of the Class A common stock.

The Company’s transfer agent, Equiniti Trust Company, LLC, is acting as the exchange agent for the reverse stock split. Stockholders holding their shares in book-entry form or in brokerage accounts need not take any action in connection with the reverse stock split. Beneficial holders are encouraged to contact their bank, broker or custodian with any procedural questions.
