Cyngn (Nasdaq: CYN) has announced advancements in its proprietary computer vision technology for industrial autonomous machines, leveraging NVIDIA accelerated computing. The announcement highlights Cyngn's DriveMod solutions, which utilize NVIDIA hardware and CUDA acceleration libraries to develop advanced self-driving features. The DriveMod system is deployed on material handling vehicles from manufacturers like BYD and John Deere. Cyngn's collaboration with Arauco resulted in pre-orders of 100 DriveMod Forklifts, showcasing features such as pallet enumeration and detection of non-standard pallet pockets.

Cyngn has announced a important shareholder meeting on June 25, 2024. The meeting will focus on granting discretionary authority to the Board of Directors for a reverse stock split, aiming to comply with Nasdaq's $1 minimum bid price requirement before the late August deadline. Despite significant progress, Cyngn has not met this requirement organically, and a reverse split is now considered necessary.

Additionally, shareholders will vote on amending the articles of incorporation to increase authorized common stock from 200 million to 400 million shares. This increase is contingent on meeting the bid price requirement organically and will not be used alongside the reverse split. The company emphasizes the need for shareholder support to maintain access to capital and avoid down-listing to an over-the-counter exchange.
