Industry Context

Reverse stock splits are often used by companies to increase their share price and maintain listing requirements on exchanges like the Nasdaq Capital Market.

Comparison to Industry Standards

• Reverse stock splits are a common mechanism for companies facing delisting or seeking to improve their stock price, however, they do not fundamentally change the value of the company.
• The warrant exercise price of $0.7446 is a key factor for investors holding these warrants, and will be compared to the current market price of the common stock to determine the value of the warrants.
• Companies like Cassava Sciences (SAVA) and Ocugen (OCGN) have also recently undergone reverse stock splits, and their performance post-split will be a benchmark for Cemtrex.

Stakeholder Impact

• Shareholders will see a reduced number of shares, but the proportional ownership remains the same.
• Warrant holders will have their exercise price adjusted and the number of shares they can purchase adjusted.
