Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Cre8 Enterprise Limited is implementing a 1-for-12 reverse stock split of all issued and unissued Class A and Class B ordinary shares. The split will take effect for trading on February 13, 2026, when Class A Ordinary Shares will trade on Nasdaq on a post-split basis under the symbol CRE.

The reverse split will reduce outstanding Class A Ordinary Shares from 19,667,500 to approximately 1,638,959, with every twelve existing shares combined into one new share and fractional shares rounded up. The move is intended to lift the share price to meet Nasdaq’s $1.00 minimum bid requirement, which must be satisfied for at least ten consecutive business days before April 1, 2026, to avoid potential suspension and delisting.

Positive

  • None.

Negative

  • Nasdaq listing at risk if bid price compliance is not regained: The reverse split is explicitly intended to satisfy Nasdaq’s $1.00 minimum bid requirement by April 1, 2026, and the company notes that failure to do so could result in suspension and delisting of its Class A Ordinary Shares.

Insights

Cre8 enacts a 1-for-12 reverse split to address Nasdaq minimum bid price deficiency.

Cre8 Enterprise Limited approved a 1-for-12 reverse stock split, cutting outstanding Class A Ordinary Shares from 19,667,500 to approximately 1,638,959. All options, warrants and other convertible securities will be proportionally adjusted, with fractional share positions rounded up to the nearest whole share.

The stated purpose is to increase the per-share trading price to meet Nasdaq’s $1.00 minimum bid price requirement for continued listing. Nasdaq has granted Cre8 until April 1, 2026 to regain compliance, requiring a closing bid at or above $1.00 for at least ten consecutive business days.

If Cre8 does not regain compliance within the permitted period, Nasdaq may move to suspend and delist the Class A Ordinary Shares, though the company could appeal to a Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel. This creates a clearly disclosed listing risk until the minimum bid requirement is satisfied.

On January 15, 2026, the Board of Directors of Cre8 Enterprise Limited (the “Company”) approved a reverse stock split of all of the Company’s issued and unissued shares, including the Class A ordinary shares with no par value (the “Class A Ordinary Shares”) and Class B ordinary shares with no par value, at an exchange ratio of one (1) share for twelve (12) shares (the “Reverse Stock Split”). Pursuant to the BVI Business Companies Act (as amended) and the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, the Company’s Board of Directors is authorized to effect the Reverse Stock Split without the approval of the Company’s shareholders. Accordingly, no shareholder vote, consent or approval is required or will be sought in respect of the Reverse Stock Split.

 

Upon the opening of the market on February 13, 2026, the Company’s Class A Ordinary Shares will be trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) on a post-Reverse Stock Split basis under the current symbol “CRE”. The new CUSIP number following the Reverse Stock Split is G2R63D113. The Reverse Stock Split will reduce the number of outstanding Class A Ordinary Shares of the Company from 19,667,500 to approximately 1,638,959 Class A Ordinary Shares. Every twelve (12) outstanding Class A Ordinary Shares will be combined into and automatically become one post-Reverse Stock Split Class A Ordinary Share. No fractional shares will be issued as a result of the reverse stock split. Instead, any fractional shares that would have resulted from the split will be rounded up to the next whole number.

 

After the Reverse Stock Split, all options, warrants and other convertible securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior to the Reverse Stock Split will be adjusted by dividing the number of Class A Ordinary Shares into which the options, warrants and other convertible securities are exercisable or convertible by twelve (12) in accordance with the terms of the plans, agreements or arrangements governing such options, warrants and other convertible securities and subject to rounding to the nearest whole share.

 

The Reverse Stock Split is intended for the Company to regain compliance with a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share for continued listing on Nasdaq, as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Minimum Bid Requirement”). Nasdaq provided the Company until April 1, 2026 to regain compliance. To regain compliance, the closing bid price of the Company’s Class A Ordinary Shares must meet or exceed $1.00 per share for a minimum of ten consecutive business days during this period. If the Company does not regain compliance within the allotted compliance period(s), including any extensions that may be granted by Nasdaq, Nasdaq will provide notice that the Company’s Class A Ordinary Shares will be subject to suspension and delisting. The Company would then be entitled to appeal Nasdaq’s determination to a Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel and request a hearing.

Cre8 Enterprise Limited Announces 1-for-12 Reverse Stock Split

 

Hong Kong, Feb. 11, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cre8 Enterprise Limited (Nasdaq: CRE) (“Cre8” or the “Company”), a Hong Kong-based integrated financial printing service provider, announces  that it is implementing a reverse stock split of all of the Company’s issued and unissued shares, including the Class A ordinary shares with no par value (the “Class A Ordinary Shares”) and Class B ordinary shares with no par value, at an exchange ratio of one (1) share for twelve (12) shares (the “Reverse Stock Split”). The Reverse Stock Split was approved by the Company’s Board of Directors on January 15, 2026.

 

Beginning on February 13, 2026, the Company’s Class A Ordinary Shares will begin trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market on a post-Reverse Stock Split basis under the current ticker symbol “CRE”. The new CUSIP number for the Class A Ordinary Shares following the reverse stock split will be G2R63D113.

 

The Reverse Stock Split will reduce the number of outstanding Class A Ordinary Shares of the Company from approximately 19,667,500 Class A Ordinary Shares to approximately 1,638,959 Class A Ordinary Shares. Every twelve (12) outstanding Class A Ordinary Shares will be combined into and automatically become one post-Reverse Stock Split Class A Ordinary Share. No fractional shares will be issued as a result of the reverse stock split. Instead, any fractional shares that would have resulted from the split will be rounded up to the next whole number.

 

Registered shareholders holding their shares of ordinary shares in book-entry or through a bank, broker or other nominee form do not need to take any action in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. Shareholders holding physical stock certificates will also generally receive book-entry shares instead of their existing certificates. The Company’s transfer agent, VStock Transfer LLC, will send further instructions.

 

The reverse stock split is intended to increase the per share trading price of the Company’s Class A Ordinary Shares to satisfy the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement for continued listing of the Class A Ordinary Shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market. Nasdaq previously provided the Company until April 1, 2026, to regain compliance. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement.
