DPW Holdings Announces One-for-Forty Reverse Stock Split

DPW Holdings, Inc. (NYSE American: DPW) a diversified holding company ("DPW” or the "Company”) announced that its Board of Directors has approved a one-for-forty reverse stock split of its Class A common stock ("Common Stock”) that will be effective in the State of Delaware on August 5, 2019. Beginning with the opening of trading on August 6, 2019, the Company’s Common Stock will trade on the NYSE American on a split-adjusted basis under a new CUSIP number, 26140E 600.

At the Company’s Reconvened 2019 Annual Meeting of Stockholders held at 12:00 pm Eastern Time on July 19, 2019, the Company’s stockholders approved a proposal authorizing the Company’s Board of Directors to effect a reverse stock split by a whole number ratio of not less than one-for-five and not more than one-for-forty at any time prior to July 1, 2020, with the exact ratio to be set at a whole number within this range as determined by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion. The Company reported that 20,013,890 favorable votes were cast, representing nearly 53% of the Company’s outstanding shares eligible to vote as of the record date.

With approval by the Board of Directors, the Company will file a certificate of amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, effectuating the one-for-forty reverse stock split, with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on August 5, 2019.

The reverse stock split affects all issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock, as well as the number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the Company’s equity incentive plans. In addition, the reverse stock split reduces the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of stock options or warrants outstanding immediately prior to the reverse split. The par value of the Company’s Common Stock will remain unchanged at $0.001 per share after the reverse stock split. The reverse stock split affects all stockholders uniformly and will not alter any stockholder’s percentage interest in the Company’s equity, except to the extent that the reverse stock split results in some stockholders owning a fractional share as described below.

The reverse stock split will reduce the number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding from approximately 42,621,478 to approximately 1,065,537. The authorized number of shares of Common Stock will remain at 500 million.

No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the reverse split. Stockholders who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fractional share will instead receive a cash payment.

Computershare Trust Company, N.A. ("Computershare”), is acting as the exchange agent and transfer agent for the reverse stock split. Computershare will provide instructions to stockholders with physical certificates regarding the optional process for exchanging their pre-split stock certificates for post-split stock certificates and receiving payment for any fractional shares.
