Insights
Jeffs' Brands' 1-for-17 reverse split aims to maintain Nasdaq listing but signals potential underlying financial concerns.
Jeffs' Brands' announcement of a 1-for-17 reverse share split is a significant corporate action that warrants careful investor attention. After implementation, the company's outstanding shares will dramatically decrease from 9,407,534 to approximately 553,385, while maintaining the same overall company valuation.
This aggressive ratio (1-for-17) is particularly noteworthy as reverse splits are typically implemented for one primary reason: to increase share price to meet exchange listing requirements. Nasdaq requires listed companies to maintain a minimum bid price of
The timing is crucial - with implementation set for June 16, 2025, just days after the announcement. The reverse split doesn't change the company's fundamental value or authorized share capital (1.5 billion shares remain authorized), but it does artificially inflate the per-share price by exactly 17 times. For example, if shares were trading at
While technically not changing shareholder equity percentages, reverse splits often signal underlying financial distress and frequently lead to negative market sentiment. Shareholders should monitor post-split trading patterns closely, as many stocks experience downward pressure following such actions.

For investors, this move represents a significant restructuring event that often precedes either stabilization or further deterioration.
Following the reverse share split the Company will have approximately 553,385 outstanding shares
Tel Aviv, Israel, June 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Jeffs' Brands Ltd (“Jeffs’ Brands” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: JFBR, JFBRW), a data-driven e-commerce company operating on the Amazon Marketplace, today announced that it intends to effect a one-for-seventeen (1-for-17) reverse split (the "Reverse Share Split") of the Company’s issued and outstanding ordinary shares, no par value per share (the "Ordinary Shares"). The Ordinary Shares are expected to begin trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market on a post-split basis at the opening of trading on June 16, 2025, under the Company’s existing trading symbol “JFBR”, with a new CUSIP number of M61472144. The trading symbol “JFBRW” and CUSIP number for the Company’s public warrants will remain unchanged following the Reverse Share Split.
The Reverse Share Split was approved by the Company's shareholders at the Company’s Special General Meeting of Shareholders held on April 28, 2025, to be effected at the board of directors' discretion within approved parameters, and accordingly the board of directors resolved to effect a 1-for-17 ratio. The Reverse Share Split will not result in an adjustment to the authorized share capital of the Company under the Company’s amended and restated articles of association, as currently in effect (the “Articles”), which, as of the date hereof consists of 1,500,000,000 Ordinary Shares.
The Reverse Share Split will affect all shareholders uniformly and will not alter any shareholder’s percentage ownership interest in the Company’s equity, except for minor changes to the treatment of fractional shares as described below. The Reverse Share Split will reduce the number of issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares from 9,407,534 Ordinary Shares to approximately 553,385 Ordinary Shares (subject to any further adjustments based on the treatment of fractional shares). In accordance with the Articles, no fractional Ordinary Shares will be issued as a result of the Reverse Share Split and all fractional Ordinary Shares shall be rounded to the nearest whole Ordinary Share, at the DTC participant level. In addition, a proportional adjustment will be made to the per share exercise price and the number of shares issuable upon the exercise of all outstanding options or public and private warrants entitling the holders to purchase Ordinary Shares. No fractional Ordinary Shares will be issued upon exercise of warrants or options. As to any fraction of an Ordinary Share which a holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon exercise, the Company shall round up to the nearest whole Ordinary Share, according to the terms of the warrant or option.
