Digital Brands Group Announces 1-for-40 Reverse Stock Split to Solidify Continued Nasdaq Compliance; Reduces Outstanding Common Stock Float To Approximately 557,000 Shares

Key Terms

reverse stock split financial

A reverse stock split reduces a company's number of outstanding shares while raising the price per share proportionally, so the total value of each investor's holding is unchanged; a 1-for-10 split turns 100 shares worth $1 each into 10 shares worth $10 each. Companies often do this to regain compliance with an exchange's minimum price rule or to attract investors who avoid very low-priced stocks.

cusip number regulatory

A CUSIP number is a nine-character code that uniquely identifies a specific U.S. or Canadian stock, bond, or other security, similar to a barcode or a social-security number for a financial instrument. It matters to investors because it removes confusion between similar securities, ensures trades and settlements are applied to the correct issue, and helps locate official documents and transaction records quickly.

treasury stock financial

Treasury stock is shares that a company has bought back from the public and kept in its own control rather than retiring them. Think of it like a company holding its own tickets in a drawer: those shares no longer vote or receive dividends while held, but the company can reissue or retire them later; this reduces the number of shares available to outside investors and can boost per‑share earnings and influence ownership and stock price.

par value financial

Par value is the fixed amount printed on a bond or stock that represents its original value when issued. It’s like the face value of a coin or bill—what the issuer promises to pay back or the starting price of a stock—though it often doesn’t change with market prices. It matters because it helps determine certain financial details, like how much the company will pay back at maturity.

AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- DBGI Corp. (NASDAQ:DBGI) (the “Company”), a publicly traded company specializing in eCommerce and fashion, today announced to solidify its long-term market footing, that it will effect a 1-for-40 reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”) of its common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”).

The Reverse Stock Split is intended to increase the closing bid price of the Common Stock above $1.00 per share, and to enable the Company to manage continued compliance with The Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) Listing Rule 5550(a)(2).

The Reverse Stock Split will become effective on July 24, 2026, at 12:01 a.m., Eastern Time, and the Common Stock will open for trading on Nasdaq on a reverse split-adjusted basis under the existing ticker symbol “DBGI.” Following the execution of the Reverse Stock Split, the new CUSIP number for the Common Stock will be 25401N 606. The Reverse Stock Split reduces the number of shares of outstanding Common Stock from approximately 23 million shares to approximately 575,000 shares. At the effective time of the Reverse Stock Split, every forty shares of Common Stock either issued and outstanding or held as treasury stock will be automatically reclassified into one new share of Common Stock. The total number of shares of Common Stock authorized for issuance will be reduced by a corresponding proportion from 1,000,000,000 shares to 25,000,000 shares of Common Stock. The par value per share of the Common Stock will remain unchanged at $0.0001 per share.

No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. Fractional shares resulting from the Reverse Stock Split will be rounded up to the nearest whole share.

Clear Trust LLC is acting as transfer and exchange agent for the Reverse Stock Split. Registered stockholders who hold shares of Common Stock are not required to take any action to receive post-Reverse Stock Split shares. Stockholders owning shares via a broker, bank, trust or other nominee will have their positions automatically adjusted to reflect the Reverse Stock Split, subject to such broker's particular processes, and will not be required to take any action in connection with the Reverse Stock Split.

The Company, in coordination with its specialized legal counsel and ShareIntel, is monitoring all clearinghouse ledger adjustments on a continuous daily basis to ensure absolute transparency, equity registry accuracy, and regulatory compliance throughout this transition period.
