Phaos Technology Holdings (Cayman) Ltd has announced a reverse stock split of its shares, effective October 12, 2026. This decision comes as part of the company’s strategy to enhance its market presence and improve its stock performance. The reverse stock split will combine every fifteen shares into one, significantly reducing the number of outstanding shares.
The reverse stock split will reduce the number of outstanding Class A ordinary shares from approximately 16.4 million to about 1.1 million and Class B ordinary shares from around 15.1 million to about 1 million. The par value of the shares will increase to $0.0015 per share, and the total authorized shares will be adjusted accordingly.
