Owlet, Inc. Announces Reverse Stock Split
27 June 2023 - 10:30PM
Business Wire
Owlet, Inc. (NYSE: OWLT) (“Owlet” or the “Company”),
today announced that its Board of Directors (the “Board”) has
approved a 1-for-14 reverse stock split (“Reverse Split”) of its
Class A common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (“Common Stock”),
that is expected to become effective on July 7, 2023 at 5:00 p.m.
EDT. The shares of the Company’s Common Stock are expected to begin
trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) on a split-adjusted
basis at the market open on July 10, 2023. No change will be made
to the trading symbol for the Company’s shares of Common Stock,
“OWLT” in connection with the Reverse Split.
The Company expects that the Reverse Split will allow the
Company to regain compliance with the $1.00 minimum average closing
price requirement of the NYSE. The new CUSIP number for the Common
Stock following the Reverse Split will be 69120X206.
At the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders held on June 23,
2023, the Company’s stockholders approved the proposal to authorize
the Board, in its sole and absolute discretion, to effect the
Reverse Split at a ratio to be determined by the Board, ranging
from 1-for-10 to 1-for-20 and to reduce the authorized number of
shares of Common Stock and the authorized and unissued shares of
the Company’s preferred stock. On June 26, 2023, the Board approved
the Reverse Split at a ratio of 1-for-14.
The Reverse Split will reduce the number of issued and
outstanding shares of Common Stock from approximately 118,078,000
to approximately 8,434,142. The number of authorized shares of
Common Stock will be reduced from 1,000,000,000 shares to
107,142,857 shares, which reflects a reduction to 1.5 times the
current number of authorized shares of Common Stock, divided by the
Reverse Split ratio. The 30,000 shares of Series A convertible
preferred stock currently issued and outstanding will not be
reduced by the Reverse Split, but the rate at which these shares
are convertible into Common Stock will be adjusted in accordance
with the Certificate of Designation for the Series A convertible
preferred stock. The Reverse Split will also reduce the number of
authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock from 99,970,000
shares to 10,711,071 shares, which reflects a reduction to 1.5
times the current number of authorized but unissued shares of
preferred stock, divided by the Reverse Split ratio. All other
outstanding options, warrants, and other securities entitling their
holders to purchase or otherwise receive shares of Common Stock
will be adjusted as a result of the Reverse Split, as required by
the terms of each security. The number of shares available to be
awarded under the Company’s equity incentive plans will also be
appropriately adjusted. Following the Reverse Split, the par value
of the Common Stock will remain unchanged at $0.0001 par value per
share. No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the
Reverse Split, and stockholders who would otherwise be entitled to
receive a fractional share will instead receive a cash payment
equal to the fraction of a share of Common Stock in lieu of such
fractional share.
"While this reverse stock split is primarily driven by technical
compliance to the NYSE minimum stock price requirement, the core of
the business continues to get healthier. We're optimistic about the
progress we're making towards improving margin, channel health and
reaching profitability. Following last week's announcement of our
first FDA clearance we're excited about the future of this category
and the expanded access and adoption that regulatory approvals will
give to parents around the world,” states Kurt Workman, Owlet’s CEO
and Co-Founder.
Additional information regarding the Reverse Split is available
in the Company’s definitive proxy statement originally filed with
the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on May 12,
2023.
