iSun, Inc. (NASDAQ: ISUN) announced a 1-for-20 reverse stock split of its Common Stock to regain compliance with the Nasdaq Capital Market's minimum bid price requirement.

Financial Analyst

The reverse stock split announced by iSun, Inc., particularly at a 1-for-20 ratio, will have an immediate effect on the company's stock liquidity and market perception. This financial maneuver is typically employed to boost a stock's share price, often to meet exchange listing requirements. In the case of iSun, this is explicitly to address the Nasdaq's minimum bid price requirement. While the split won't change the firm's valuation in theory, in practice, it can deter small investors due to less liquidity and can sometimes be viewed as a sign of distress. In the long run, the success of this measure will largely depend on the company's operational performance and market conditions.

Market Research Analyst

Historically, reverse stock splits have mixed receptions in the market. Investors may perceive it as a company's last resort to comply with stock exchange regulations, which could signal underlying issues. However, for iSun, maintaining Nasdaq listing can enhance its credibility and investor appeal. It's important to observe the stock's behavior following the adjustment period; if the price holds above the $1.00 threshold, it could stabilize investor confidence. The company's ability to communicate its strategic plan and demonstrate growth potential post-split will be paramount to regain and sustain investor trust.

WILLISTON, Vt.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- iSun, Inc. (NASDAQ: ISUN) (the “Company,” or “iSun”), a leading solar energy and clean mobility infrastructure company with 50-years of experience accelerating the adoption of innovative electrical technologies, today announced that it will effect a 1-for-20 reverse stock split of its issued Common Stock, effective at 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time on Friday, April 26, 2024. Beginning Friday, April 26, 2024, the Company's Common Stock will trade on a split-adjusted basis.

At the Company's Special Meeting of Stockholders held on February 27, 2024, the Company's stockholders approved a proposal to authorize a reverse stock split of the Company’s Common Stock, at a ratio of not less than 1-for-6 and not more than 1-for-20 as to be determined by the Company's Board of Directors. The Board of Directors approved a 1-for-20 reverse split ratio, and on Wednesday, April 24, 2024, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to effect the reverse stock split effective as of 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time on Friday, April 26, 2024 (the “Effective Time”).

The Company's Board of Directors implemented the reverse stock split with the objective of regaining compliance with the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement of The Nasdaq Capital Market. The Company has until May 13, 2024 to comply with this requirement. To evidence compliance with this requirement, the closing bid price of the Company’s Common Stock must be at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days by May 13, 2024.

The Company's shares of Common Stock will continue to trade on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol "ISUN." The new CUSIP number for the Company's Common Stock post-reverse stock split is 465246 205.

As a result of the reverse stock split, every twenty shares of the Company’s Common Stock will automatically be combined into one share of Common Stock. The reverse stock split will affect all stockholders uniformly and will not alter any stockholder’s percentage ownership interest in the Company’s equity, except to the extent that the reverse stock split results in any of our stockholders receiving whole shares in lieu of fractional shares, as discussed below. Any fraction of a share of Common Stock that would be created as a result of the reverse stock split will be rounded up to the next whole share. There will not be a reduction in the total number of authorized shares of Common Stock.

As of the Effective Time, the number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the Company’s equity incentive plans and issuable pursuant to equity awards immediately prior to the reverse stock split will be proportionately adjusted by the reverse stock split. The exercise prices of the Company’s outstanding options will be adjusted in accordance with their respective terms.

The combination of, and reduction in, the number of issued shares of Common Stock as a result of the reverse stock split will occur automatically at the Effective Time without any additional action on the part of our stockholders. The Company's transfer agent, Continental Stock Transfer and Trust Company is acting as the exchange agent for the reverse stock split and will send stockholders a transaction statement indicating the number of shares of Common Stock stockholders hold after the reverse stock split. 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. Additional information regarding the reverse stock split is available on the Form 8-K filed today, as well as in the Company’s definitive proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 29, 2024, a copy of which is available at www.sec.gov and on the Company's website.
