K Wave Media (Nasdaq: KWM) will implement a 1-for-30 reverse stock split of its issued and outstanding ordinary shares, effective at 12:01 a.m. ET on August 3, 2026. The shares are expected to begin trading on a split-adjusted basis that same day on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the unchanged symbol “KWM”. The company currently has 78,514,509 shares outstanding, which will be reduced by a factor of thirty, with a proportional increase in per-share market price, though future trading prices are not assured.
The reverse split was authorized by the board and shareholders and will affect all shareholders uniformly, except for adjustments from fractional share treatment. No fractional shares will be issued; fractional interests will be handled under previously announced procedures. Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company will act as exchange agent, and most holders in book-entry or brokerage accounts will not need to take action. A new CUSIP number will be assigned post-split. According to K Wave Media, the action is intended to help maintain compliance with Nasdaq’s minimum bid price requirement, without changing the company’s underlying business operations, assets, or liabilities aside from share-count and fractional-share adjustments.
