NewGen Announces Reverse Stock Split

BANGKOK, Jan. 31, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NewGenIvf Group Limited (NASDAQ: NIVF) (“NewGen” or the “Company”), a comprehensive fertility services provider in Asia helping couples and individuals obtain access to fertility treatments, today announced that it is implementing a reverse stock split of all of the Company's issued and unissued shares, including the Class A ordinary shares with no par value (the "Class A Ordinary Shares"), Class B ordinary shares with no par value and preferred shares with no par value, at an exchange ratio of one (1) share for twenty (20) shares (the “Reverse Stock Split”). The Reverse Stock Split was approved by the Company’s Board of Directors on January 21, 2025.

The Company’s Class A Ordinary Shares will begin trading on the Nasdaq Global Market on a post-Reverse Stock Split basis under the current ticker symbol “NIVF” at the commencement of trading on February 11, 2025, and will trade under the new CUSIP number G0544E204.

The Reverse Stock Split will reduce the number of outstanding Class A Ordinary Shares of the Company from approximately 27.07 million to approximately 1.35 million. Every twenty (20) outstanding Class A Ordinary Shares will be combined into and automatically become one post-Reverse Stock Split Class A Ordinary Share. No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. Instead, the Company will issue one full post-Reverse Stock Split Class A Ordinary Share to any shareholder who would have been entitled to receive a fractional share as a result of the process.

After the Reverse Stock Split, all options, warrants and other convertible securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior to the Reverse Stock Split will be adjusted by dividing the number of Class A Ordinary Shares into which the options, warrants and other convertible securities are exercisable or convertible by twenty (20) in accordance with the terms of the plans, agreements or arrangements governing such options, warrants and other convertible securities and subject to rounding to the nearest whole share.

The Company is primarily implementing the reverse stock split to enable it to regain compliance with the Nasdaq $1.00 per share minimum bid price requirement set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1) (the “Minimum Bid Requirement”). Nasdaq previously provided the Company until April 7, 2025, to regain compliance. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Requirement.

The Company’s transfer agent, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (“Continental”), will serve as the transfer agent for the Reverse Stock Split.
