Announces Reverse Stock Split"},"content":{"rendered":"\n

Wichita, Kansas, Oct. 03, 2024 (NEWSIC) —\u00a0<\/strong>AgEagle Aerial Systems Inc. (NYSE American: UAVS) (\u201cAgEagle\u201d or the \u201cCompany\u201d), an industry-leading provider of full stack flight hardware, sensors and software for commercial and government use, announced today a reverse stock split of its authorized, issued and outstanding common stock, par value $0.001 per share, at a ratio of one (1) share of common stock for every fifty (50) shares of common stock, effective as of 5:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) on October 14, 2024 (the \u201cEffective Date\u201d). The Company\u2019s common stock will begin trading on a split-adjusted basis when the market opens on October 15, 2024. The reverse stock split was authorized by the Company\u2019s Board of Directors on October 3, 2024. Pursuant to the laws of the State of Nevada, the Company\u2019s state of incorporation, the Company\u2019s Board of Directors has the authority to effect a reverse stock split without shareholder approval if the number of authorized shares of common stock and the number of outstanding shares of common stock are proportionally reduced. The Company will file a certificate of change to its articles of incorporation, as amended, with the Secretary of State of Nevada to effect the reverse stock split. The Company\u2019s common stock will continue to trade on the NYSE American under the stock ticker \u201cUAVS\u201d but will trade under the new CUSIP number 00848K 309.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result of the reverse split, each fifty (50) pre-split shares of common stock outstanding will automatically combine into one (1) new share of common stock without any action on the part of the holders, and the number of outstanding common shares will be reduced from 39,720,458 shares to approximately 850,409 shares without taking into account fractional shares.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The reverse stock split is being effected to ensure that the Company can meet the per share price requirements of the NYSE American, the Company’s current listing exchange.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No fractional shares will be issued as a result of the reverse stock split. Shareholders who otherwise would be entitled to a fractional share because they hold a number of shares not evenly divisible by the 1 (one) for fifty (50) reverse split ratio, will automatically be entitled to receive an additional fractional share of the Company\u2019s common stock to round up to the next whole share.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Company\u2019s transfer agent, Equiniti Trust Company, which is also acting as the exchange agent for the reverse split, will send instructions to stockholders of record who hold stock certificates regarding the exchange of their old certificates for new certificates, should they wish to do so. Stockholders who hold their shares in brokerage accounts or \u201cstreet name\u201d are not required to take action to effect the exchange of their shares.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
