ENGLEWOOD, CO / ACCESSWIRE / September 18, 2019 / Viveve Medical, Inc. (NASDAQ:VIVE), a medical technology company focused on women's intimate health, today announced that its Board of Directors has approved a one-for-100 reverse stock split of its common stock that is scheduled to become effective after trading closes on September 18, 2019. The company's common stock will begin trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market on a split adjusted basis when the market opens on September 19, 2019. The company's common stock will continue to trade under the symbol "VIVE." At the company's Special Meeting of Stockholders held on September 16, 2019, the company's stockholders approved a proposal authorizing the company's Board of Directors to effect a reverse stock split in a range of 1:20 to 1:100 to help regain compliance with the Nasdaq minimum bid price requirement.
The reverse stock split uniformly affects all issued and outstanding shares of the company's common stock. The reverse stock split will not alter any stockholder's percentage ownership interest in the company, except to the extent that the reverse stock split results in fractional shares. No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the reverse stock split. Any fractional share that would result from the reverse stock split will be rounded down and stockholders will be issued cash in lieu of such fractional share interest.
The par value of the company's common stock will remain unchanged at $0.0001 per share after the reverse stock split.
The reverse stock split will reduce the number of shares of common stock issued and outstanding from approximately 60 million to approximately 0.6 million. The number of authorized shares of common stock will remain at 75 million.
The reverse stock split proportionately affects the number of shares of common stock available for issuance under the company's equity incentive plans. All options, warrants, stock awards and convertible securities of the company outstanding shares immediately prior to the reverse stock split will be adjusted in accordance with their terms.
The company's transfer agent, VStock Transfer, LLC (VStock), is acting as the exchange agent for the reverse stock split. VStock will provide instructions to stockholders of record regarding the exchange of stock certificates. Stockholders who hold their shares in brokerage accounts or "street name" are not required to take any action to effect the exchange of their shares.
