ConnectM Technology Solutions (CNTM) sets vote on reverse split and written consent rights
ConnectM Technology Solutions, Inc. has called a special stockholder meeting on January 15, 2026 to vote on three proposals. The first would authorize the board to implement a reverse stock split of the common stock at a ratio between 1-for-5 and 1-for-50, reducing the 152,830,345 shares of common stock outstanding as of December 22, 2025 into a proportionately smaller number of shares if the board chooses to proceed.
The company explains that a higher per-share price could support potential equity or equity-linked financing transactions and allow it to evaluate a possible uplisting of its common stock to NYSE American, though neither outcome is assured. The second proposal would amend the certificate of incorporation to permit stockholders holding a majority of outstanding shares to act by written consent without a meeting. The third would allow adjournment of the meeting to solicit additional proxies or provide supplemental disclosure. The board recommends a vote “FOR” all three proposals.
Positive
- None.
Negative
- None.

ConnectM seeks flexible reverse split authority and broader stockholder consent rights.
ConnectM Technology Solutions, Inc. is asking stockholders to authorize a reverse stock split in a wide range of ratios, from 1-for-5 to 1-for-50, applied to the 152,830,345 common shares outstanding as of
The filing also proposes a notable governance change: deleting the current prohibition on stockholder action by written consent and replacing it with language allowing actions to be taken without a meeting if written consents are signed by holders of a majority of outstanding stock. This aligns more closely with DGCL Section 228 and is framed as enhancing stockholder participation, while still requiring majority support.
The third proposal would authorize adjournment of the special meeting to gather additional proxies or distribute supplemental disclosure if needed. The board recommends “FOR” on all three proposals. Actual effects on trading price, financing access, or any potential uplisting are not specified and would depend on future board decisions and market conditions.

FAQ
What is ConnectM (CNTM) asking stockholders to approve at the special meeting?
Stockholders are being asked to approve three items: (1) a reverse stock split of the common stock at a ratio between 1-for-5 and 1-for-50, at the board’s discretion; (2) an amendment to allow stockholder action by written consent if signed by holders of a majority of outstanding shares; and (3) authority for the chair to adjourn the special meeting under certain circumstances to solicit more proxies or provide supplemental disclosure.
How would the proposed reverse stock split affect ConnectM (CNTM) shares?
If implemented, the reverse stock split would combine between 5 and 50 existing shares of common stock into one new share, decreasing the number of shares outstanding. Based on 152,830,345 shares outstanding as of December 22, 2025, the company estimates it would have between approximately 30.6 million and 3.0 million shares outstanding after the split, depending on the final ratio. Fractional share entitlements would be rounded up to the next whole share.
Why does ConnectM want authority to conduct a reverse stock split?
The board states that the primary purpose is to increase the per-share market price of the common stock. A higher price is described as potentially helping with potential financing transactions, aligning with pricing expectations of certain financing partners, and supporting the company’s ability to evaluate a potential uplisting of its common stock to NYSE American. The filing notes that a reverse stock split alone will not guarantee any financing or uplisting.
What change to written consents are ConnectM (CNTM) stockholders voting on?
Currently, the certificate of incorporation prohibits stockholder action by written consent, requiring actions to occur at duly called meetings. Proposal No. 2 would delete this prohibition and add a new Section 7.3 providing that any action that could be taken at an annual or special meeting may instead be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if written consents are signed by holders of a majority of the outstanding stock and delivered to the company.
How do abstentions and broker non-votes affect the ConnectM special meeting proposals?
For the reverse stock split and written consent proposals, approval requires “For” votes from holders of a majority of outstanding shares. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have the effect of votes “AGAINST” these proposals. For the adjournment proposal, approval requires “For” votes from a majority of shares present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote; abstentions will have the effect of votes “AGAINST,” and broker non-votes, if any, will also have the effect of votes “AGAINST.”
What does the ConnectM board recommend on the reverse split and governance changes?
The board of directors recommends that stockholders vote “FOR” all three proposals: the reverse stock split authorization, the amendment to allow stockholder action by written consent, and the adjournment authority for the special meeting.
