SAN FRANCISCO, June 06, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Opendoor Technologies Inc. (Nasdaq: OPEN) (the “Company,” “Opendoor,” “we,” “our” or “us”), a leading e-commerce platform for residential real estate transactions, filed a preliminary proxy statement. The proxy statement was furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by Opendoor’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) for use at the Company’s Special Meeting of Stockholders to be held on Monday, July 28, 2025, at 9:30 a.m. Pacific Time.

Our Board has adopted and is recommending that our stockholders approve amendments to our Certificate of Incorporation, to effect a reverse stock split of our common stock (“Common Stock”) at a ratio ranging from any whole number between 1‑for‑10 and 1‑for‑50, with the exact ratio within such range to be determined by the Board in its discretion (the “Reverse Stock Split”), subject to the Board’s authority to determine when to file the amendment and to abandon the other amendments notwithstanding prior stockholder approval of such amendments.

“This proposal is intended to support long-term shareholder value and give us optionality in preserving our listing on Nasdaq,” said Selim Freiha, CFO of Opendoor. “We’re grateful for the continued support of our shareholders, and remain focused on building a durable, technology-driven platform that powers life’s progress, one move at a time.”

The Board’s decision as to whether and when to effect the Reverse Stock Split will be based on a number of factors, including market conditions, the historical, then‑existing and expected trading price of our Common Stock, the anticipated impact of the Reverse Stock Split on the trading price of our Common Stock and on the number of holders of our Common Stock, and the continued listing requirements of The Nasdaq Global Select Market. Although our stockholders may approve the Reverse Stock Split, we will not effect the Reverse Stock Split if the Board does not deem it to be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.

For additional information regarding the Company’s Special Meeting of Stockholders, please see the Company’s preliminary proxy statement on Schedule 14A, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 6, 2025.
