Reverse split proposal highlights NYSE bid risk for agilon health (AGL)
agilon health, inc. is calling a virtual special stockholder meeting on March 17, 2026 to vote on a reverse stock split and a possible adjournment of the meeting. Holders of 414,869,759 common shares as of February 17, 2026 may vote.
The main proposal would authorize the board to implement a reverse stock split at a ratio between 1-for-5 and 1-for-25, without changing the total number of authorized shares or the $0.01 par value. This would sharply reduce shares outstanding and raise the share price mathematically, while increasing the pool of authorized but unissued shares.
The company discloses that its stock closed at $0.35 on the record date and that it previously received a NYSE notice for failing the $1.00 minimum bid requirement. The board believes a reverse split may help maintain NYSE listing, but warns there is no assurance the price will rise or remain above $1.00, and that lower share count could reduce liquidity.
Fractional shares would not be issued; instead, aggregated fractional interests would be cashed out. A second proposal would allow adjournment of the special meeting to solicit more proxies if there are not enough votes to approve the reverse split. The board unanimously recommends voting “FOR” both proposals.
Positive
- None.
Negative
NYSE minimum bid deficiency disclosed: The company reports a NYSE notice on November 5, 2025 for trading below the
$1.00 minimum bid for 30 consecutive business days, highlighting a meaningful risk of eventual delisting if compliance is not regained.Increased dilution capacity: The reverse split would reduce outstanding shares but leave authorized shares unchanged, increasing authorized but unissued stock that the board may issue later, which the company notes would be dilutive and could pressure the share price.
Insights
Reverse split aims to address NYSE bid-price deficiency but adds overhang risk.
agilon health is seeking authority for a 1-for-5 to 1-for-25 reverse stock split after receiving a NYSE notice that its shares traded below the
The reverse split would not change total authorized shares, so reducing outstanding shares from roughly 414.9 million would increase authorized but unissued capacity. The company explicitly notes future issuances could dilute existing holders and might pressure the trading price if investors anticipate additional stock sales.
Management acknowledges common risks: reverse splits can carry negative stigma, sometimes precede further price declines, and may reduce liquidity. The filing emphasizes there is no assurance the split will restore or sustain compliance with NYSE rules; actual impact depends on post-split trading, fundamentals, and any subsequent capital-raising activity.

How will the agilon health (AGL) reverse stock split affect existing shares and ownership?
Each stockholder’s shares would be reclassified into fewer shares at the chosen ratio, but percentage ownership should remain about the same. No fractional shares will be issued; instead, aggregated fractional interests will be paid out in cash by the transfer agent.
