Analysis

The stock dropped -15.5% in the session following this news. A negative reaction despite a largely technical action fits a backdrop of prior earnings pressure and balance sheet work. The reverse split at 10-for-1 targets Nasdaq bid-price compliance rather than operational change, so traders may reassess valuation given shares were already near a 52-week low. Historical patterns, with 4 of the last 5 events aligned to news tone, suggest reactions often mirror perceived fundamental impact.

reverse stock split financial

"has approved a reverse stock split of all classes of its common stock"

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.

minimum bid price requirement regulatory

"to regain compliance with the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement for continued listing"

A minimum bid price requirement is a rule that a stock must trade above a set price for a specified period to stay listed on an exchange. It matters to investors because falling below that threshold can trigger warnings or removal from the exchange, which can cut liquidity, reduce visibility, and often lead to sharper declines in share value—think of it like a venue’s minimum dress code that, if not met, can bar a performer from the stage.

nasdaq capital market regulatory

"for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market ("Nasdaq")"

The Nasdaq Capital Market is a platform where smaller, emerging companies can list their shares for trading by investors. It provides these companies with access to funding and visibility, helping them grow, much like a local marketplace where new vendors can introduce their products to potential customers. For investors, it offers opportunities to discover early-stage companies with growth potential.

cusip technical

"the new CUSIP number will be 91705J 303"

A CUSIP is a nine-character alphanumeric code that uniquely identifies a U.S. or Canadian financial security—such as a stock, bond, or fund share—like a Social Security number for an investment. It matters to investors because brokers, exchanges and record-keepers use the CUSIP to match trades, track ownership, settle transactions and pull accurate records, reducing errors and ensuring money and securities go to the right place.

SILVER SPRING, Md., Jan. 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Urban One, Inc. (Nasdaq: UONE and UONEK) (the "Company"), today announced that its Board of Directors (the "Board") has approved a reverse stock split of all classes of its common stock (collectively, the "Common Stock"), including its publicly traded shares of Class A Common Stock and Class D Common Stock at a ratio of 10 for 1. Stockholders previously approved the reverse stock split on June 18, 2025, and provided the Board with discretion to determine the final reverse stock split ratio.

The reverse stock split is being conducted to regain compliance with the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market ("Nasdaq") with respect shares of the Company's Class D Common Stock.

The reverse stock split is expected to become effective at 11:59 p.m. on January 22, 2026 (the "Effective Date"). Shares of the Company's Class A and Class D Common Stock are expected to begin trading on a split-adjusted basis on Nasdaq on January 23, 2026. Shares of the Class A Common Stock will continue to trade under the symbol "UONE" and the new CUSIP number will be 91705J 303. Shares of the Class D Common Stock will continue to trade under the symbol "UONEK" and the new CUSIP number will be 91705J 402.

On the Effective Date, every 10 shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock issued and outstanding will be automatically converted into one share of Class A Common Stock, and every 10 shares of the Company's Class D Common Stock issued and outstanding will be automatically converted into one share of Class D Common Stock.

No fractional shares of Class A or Class D Common Stock will be issued in connection with the reverse stock split. Holders of Class A or Class D Common Stock who would otherwise receive a fractional share of Class A or Class D Common Stock pursuant to the reverse stock split will receive cash in lieu of the fractional share equal to the closing sales price of the Class A or Class D Common Stock on the Effective Date.

The reverse stock split will be realized simultaneously and in the same ratio for all classes (Class A, Class B, Class C and Class D) of our common stock. The reverse stock split will affect all holders of our common stock uniformly and will not affect any stockholder's percentage of ownership interest in the Company. Further, the proposed reverse stock split would not affect the Company's underlying business operations, total stockholders' equity, or the proportional ownership interests of existing shareholders, except for adjustments resulting from fractional share treatment. Immediately after the reverse stock split, each stockholder's percentage of ownership interest in the Company and proportional voting power will remain unchanged, except for minor changes that will result from the treatment of fractional shares.
