Gogoro's 1:20 reverse split aims to maintain Nasdaq listing amid price challenges, signaling potential underlying financial concerns.

Gogoro's announced 1-for-20 reverse stock split represents a defensive financial maneuver primarily designed to maintain Nasdaq compliance by artificially increasing the trading price of its shares. This action strongly suggests the company has been trading below Nasdaq's $1 minimum bid requirement for an extended period, triggering potential delisting concerns.

The timing is particularly telling - shareholders approved a potential consolidation range (up to 1:100) back in May 2025, indicating management has been monitoring deteriorating share price conditions for months before implementing this specific ratio. The consolidation effectively reduces outstanding shares by 95%, with the warrant exercise price increasing proportionally from $11.50 to $230.

While technically not changing the company's fundamental value, reverse splits often reflect underlying business challenges driving the low share price in the first place. Companies rarely pursue such significant consolidations (20:1 is substantial) unless facing persistent market skepticism or operational difficulties. For existing shareholders, this action could trigger increased scrutiny from institutional investors and potentially signal deeper concerns about Gogoro's growth trajectory in the battery swapping ecosystem space.

The elimination of fractional shares further concentrates ownership while potentially forcing out some smaller retail investors. This technical maneuver buys Gogoro time to address fundamental business performance issues, but investors should view it primarily as a compliance mechanism rather than a positive catalyst.

TAIPEI, Sept. 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Gogoro Inc. ("Gogoro," "the Company" or "We") (Nasdaq: GGR), a global technology leader in battery swapping ecosystems that enable sustainable mobility solutions for cities, today announced that it will implement a 1-for-20 share consolidation (also known as reverse stock split) of the Company's ordinary shares ("Share Consolidation"), effective at 00:00 a.m. Eastern Time on Monday, October 6, 2025 (the "Effective Date"). The Share Consolidation is intended to increase the per-share trading price of the ordinary shares to enable the Company to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market. The Company's ordinary shares are expected to begin trading on a split-adjusted basis when the markets open on Monday, October 6, 2025 under the existing trading symbol "GGR" with the new CUSIP number G9491K 139, and the Company's public warrants will continue to trade under the existing trading symbol "GGROW" with the same CUSIP as before.

On May 28, 2025, Gogoro shareholders approved a share consolidation ratio within a range of no consolidation to 1-to-100 at the Company's 2025 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders ("2025 AGM") and authorized the Board of Directors of the Company to determine and execute the final ratio and exact date. The Company's Board of Directors subsequently approved the final share consolidation ratio of 1-for-20 on September 16, 2025. No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the Share Consolidation. Any fraction of a share resulting from the Share Consolidation will be cancelled and returned to the pool of authorized but unissued ordinary shares in the capital of the Company.

Outstanding warrants, earn-in shares, earnout shares, equity-based awards and other outstanding equity rights will be proportionately adjusted based on the share consolidation ratio. The exercise price of the Company's public warrants traded on Nasdaq will be adjusted to $230 per share and the total shares underlying the public warrants will reduced to 862,500 shares.

The Share Consolidation will affect all shareholders uniformly and will not affect any shareholder's percentage ownership interest in the Company (except to the extent that the Share Consolidation would result in any of the shareholders owning a fractional interest).

Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company is acting as transfer and exchange agent for the Share Consolidation. Registered shareholders who hold ordinary shares are not required to take any action to receive split-adjusted shares. Shareholders who own shares via a broker, bank, trust or other nominee organization will have their positions automatically adjusted to reflect the Share Consolidation, subject to such organization's particular processes, and will not be required to take any action in connection with the Share Consolidation.

Additional information regarding the Share Consolidation and other matters voted on at the 2025 AGM can be found in the Form 6-Ks furnished to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on April 28, 2025 and June 2, 2025, and on Gogoro's Investor Relations website at investors.gogoro.com.
