Insights
Greenlane approved an extreme reverse split (up to 1:750), typically a last-resort measure for severely depressed share prices.
Greenlane's stockholders have approved a potentially massive reverse stock split at a ratio between 1-for-250 to 1-for-750, granting the board discretion to determine the exact ratio and implement it within one year. The proposal passed with significant shareholder support (89.7% of votes cast). Reverse splits of this magnitude are exceptionally large by market standards and typically signal severe underlying challenges. While reverse splits are mathematically neutral to company value, they're generally implemented to boost share prices that have fallen dramatically, often to maintain exchange listing requirements. The extraordinarily high ratio range (up to 1-for-750) suggests Greenlane faces significant price deterioration. For perspective, a $0.10 stock would become $75 after a 1-for-750 split, but each shareholder would own 750× fewer shares. Such extreme measures are usually last-resort options for companies with deeply depressed share prices, and the market frequently responds negatively to such announcements. The board's one-year implementation window provides flexibility but also creates uncertainty regarding timing and the final split ratio. Current shareholders should note this will dramatically reduce their share count while proportionally increasing per-share price.
