Bluejay Diagnostics completes 1-for-4 reverse split
Voting rights and the $0.0001 par value remain unchanged; fractional-share entitlements are paid in cash.
Sentiment and the balance of points
Rhea-AI Sentiment reads the wording of the document, how positive or negative its language is on a 1 to 5 scale. The balance of points shown with the takes weighs what the document actually discloses, so the two can disagree, for example when a trial that missed its main goal is described in upbeat language.
Rhea-AI Filing Summary
Bluejay Diagnostics, Inc. (BJDX) completed a 1-for-4 reverse stock split effective November 3, 2026: every four issued and outstanding common shares converted into one share. Issued and outstanding common shares declined from 4,468,051 to approximately 1,117,013. The company also proportionately adjusted the exercise prices and share counts under outstanding equity awards and warrants, and the shares authorized and reserved under its equity incentive plans.
No fractional shares were issued; holders otherwise due a fraction are entitled to a cash payment based on the recent average closing price per share after surrendering certificates or converting book-entry shares. Book-entry positions are automatically adjusted, while stockholders holding shares in street name receive instructions from brokers. The certificate-amendment description states a 1-for-4 conversion, but a sentence in the accompanying press release says three shares would combine into one. The two descriptions also give adjusted prefunded-warrant share counts of 55,646 and 55,645, respectively.

Item 3.03 Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.
To the extent required by Item 3.03 of Form 8-K, the information regarding the Reverse Stock Split (as defined herein) contained in Item 5.03 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference herein.
Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year
At the Annual Meeting of Stockholders of Bluejay Diagnostics, Inc. (the “Company”) held on June 9, 2026, the stockholders of the Company approved an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Charter”) to implement a reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, at several fixed ratios between 1-for-2 and 1-for-20, with the final ratio to be determined by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”).
On October 30, 2026, the Company filed a certificate of amendment to the Charter (the “Certificate of Amendment”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, to implement a 1-for-4 reverse split of the Company’s common stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”), which 1-for-4 ratio was selected and approved by the Board. The Reverse Stock Split became effective as of 12:01 a.m. (Eastern time) on November 3, 2026, and the Company’s common stock began trading on The Nasdaq Capital Market on a post-split basis at the open of trading on November 3, 2026 with a new CUSIP number, 095633707. The trading symbol for the Company’s common stock remains “BJDX.”
As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, every four (4) issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001, was converted into one (1) share of common stock, par value $0.0001, reducing the number of issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock from 4,468,051 shares to approximately 1,117,013 shares (and reducing the number of shares of the Company’s common stock issuable upon the exercise of prefunded warrants from 222,581 to 55,646). The Company’s transfer agent, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (“Continental”), is providing instructions to stockholders of record regarding the process of exchanging shares.
The Reverse Stock Split did not alter the par value of the Company’s common stock or modify any voting rights or other terms of the common stock.
No fractional shares are being issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. Stockholders who otherwise would be entitled to receive fractional shares because they hold a number of pre-Reverse Stock Split shares of the Company’s common stock not evenly divisible by four (4) are entitled, in lieu of a fractional share, upon surrender to Continental of certificate(s) representing their pre-split shares or upon conversion of their shares held in book-entry, to receive a cash payment based on the recent average closing price per share of the Company’s common stock, which cash payment shall not have accrued, and shall be without, interest.
Continental is issuing all of the post-split shares through their paperless Direct Registration System, also known as “book-entry form.” Continental will hold the shares in an account set up for the stockholder. All book-entry or other electronic positions representing issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock are being automatically adjusted. Those stockholders holding common stock in “street name” are receiving instructions from their brokers.
In addition, pursuant to their terms, a proportionate adjustment has been made to the per share exercise price and number of shares issuable under all of the Company’s outstanding equity awards and warrants to purchase shares of common stock, and the number of shares authorized and reserved for issuance pursuant to the Company’s equity incentive plans has been reduced proportionately.
The above description of the Certificate of Amendment and the Reverse Stock Split is a summary of the material terms thereof and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Certificate of Amendment, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1, as filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on October 30, 2026.
Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
To the extent required by Item 5.07 of Form 8-K, the information regarding the Reverse Stock Split (as defined herein) contained in Item 5.03 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference herein.
Item 8.01 Other Events.
On October 30, 2026, the Company issued a press release relating to the matters described in Item 5.03 above. A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this report and is incorporated herein by reference.

Exhibit 99.1
Bluejay Diagnostics Announces 1-for-4 Reverse Stock Split
ACTON, Mass., October 30, 2026 – Bluejay Diagnostics, Inc. (NASDAQ: BJDX) (“Bluejay” or the “Company”), a medical diagnostics company focused on improving patient outcomes through its Symphony™ near-patient diagnostic platform, today announced that the Company’s Board of Directors has approved a reverse stock split of its shares of common stock at a ratio of 1-for-4 (the “Reverse Stock Split”). The Reverse Stock Split will become effective at 12:01 a.m. Eastern Time on November 3, 2026, and the Company’s common stock will open for trading on The Nasdaq Capital Market on a post-split basis on November 3, 2026 under the Company’s existing trading symbol, “BJDX.” At such time, the Company’s common stock will also commence trading with a new CUSIP number, 095633707.
At the effective time of the reverse stock split, every three (3) issued and outstanding shares of Bluejay common stock will be combined into one (1) share of common stock, with no change to the par value of $0.0001 per share. This will reduce the Company's outstanding common stock from approximately 4,468,051 shares to approximately 1,117,013 shares (and reduce the number of shares of the Company's common stock issuable upon the exercise of prefunded warrants from 222,581 to 55,645). No fractional shares of common stock will be issued as a result of the reverse stock split and instead holders of Bluejay common stock will receive a cash payment in lieu of fractional shares to which they would otherwise be entitled. The shares underlying the Company’s outstanding equity awards and warrants will also be adjusted accordingly. The reverse stock split affects all stockholders uniformly and will not alter any stockholder’s percentage interest in the Company’s common stock, except for adjustments that may result from the treatment of fractional shares.
The Company has retained its transfer agent, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (“Continental”), to act as its exchange agent for the reverse stock split. Stockholders with shares held in certificate form will receive from Continental instructions regarding the exchange of their certificates. Stockholders that hold shares in book-entry form or hold their shares in brokerage accounts are not required to take any action and will see the impact of the reverse stock split reflected in their accounts, subject to brokers’ particular processes. Beneficial holders of Bluejay common stock are encouraged to contact their bank, broker, custodian or other nominee with questions regarding procedures for processing the reverse stock split.
