Insights

Greenlane executes a 1-for-8 reverse split to address Nasdaq bid-price compliance without changing overall equity value.

Greenlane Holdings, Inc. approved and executed a 1-for-8 reverse stock split of its Class A common stock, effective at 12:01 a.m. Eastern Time on April 6, 2026. The reverse split consolidates every eight existing shares into one new share with the same $0.01 par value.

The stated purpose is to meet the Nasdaq Capital Market’s minimum bid price requirement of $1.00 per share for continued listing. Economically, reverse splits do not directly change the company’s market capitalization; they re-denominate share count and stock price, while the filing notes proportionate voting and other rights remain the same.

No fractional shares are issued; instead, cash is paid based on the April 2, 2026 Nasdaq closing price, and the split automatically adjusts outstanding warrants, pre-funded warrants, stock options and equity plan share reserves. Future disclosures in periodic reports can show whether the higher per-share price leads to sustained Nasdaq compliance and how the reduced share count interacts with any future capital-raising activity.

reverse stock split financial
"to effect a 1-for-8 reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”)"
A reverse stock split is when a company reduces the number of its shares outstanding, making each share more valuable. For example, if you own 100 shares worth $1 each, a 1-for-10 reverse split would turn your 100 shares into 10 shares worth $10 each. Companies often do this to boost their stock price and appear more stable to investors.
Nasdaq Capital Market financial
"closing sales price of the Common Stock as reported on the Nasdaq Capital Market"
The Nasdaq Capital Market is a platform where smaller, emerging companies can list their shares for trading by investors. It provides these companies with access to funding and visibility, helping them grow, much like a local marketplace where new vendors can introduce their products to potential customers. For investors, it offers opportunities to discover early-stage companies with growth potential.
minimum bid price requirement financial
"intended for the Company to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement of $1.00 per share"
A minimum bid price requirement is a rule that a stock must trade above a set price for a specified period to stay listed on an exchange. It matters to investors because falling below that threshold can trigger warnings or removal from the exchange, which can cut liquidity, reduce visibility, and often lead to sharper declines in share value—think of it like a venue’s minimum dress code that, if not met, can bar a performer from the stage.
pre-funded warrants financial
"will apply to the Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Company’s outstanding warrants, pre-funded warrants and stock options"
Pre-funded warrants are financial instruments that give investors the right to purchase a company's stock at a set price, but with most or all of the purchase price paid upfront. They function like a coupon or gift card for stock, allowing investors to buy shares later at a fixed price, which can be beneficial if they want to avoid future price increases. This makes them important for investors seeking flexibility and certainty in their investment plans.
equity incentive plans financial
"the number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the Company’s equity incentive plans will be proportionately adjusted"
Equity incentive plans are company programs that pay employees, executives, or directors with company stock, stock options, or share units instead of or in addition to cash, aiming to align their interests with shareholders—like giving team members a stake in the house they help build. For investors this matters because such plans can motivate better company performance but also dilute existing ownership and increase reported compensation costs, so they affect future earnings, voting power, and share value.

Item 3.03. Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.

 

To the extent required by Item 3.03 of Form 8-K, the information contained in Item 5.03 herein is incorporated by reference into this Item 3.03.

 

Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

 

On April 2, 2026, Greenlane Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Amendment”), with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to effect a 1-for-8 reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”) of the shares of Company’s Class A common stock, $0.01 par value per share (“Common Stock”), to be effective as of April 6, 2026.

 

As previously disclosed in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 25, 2026, at the Company’s Special Meeting of Stockholders held on March 25, 2026, the stockholders of the Company approved any amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to effect a reverse stock split of the Common Stock, within a range of 1-for-5 to 1-for-15 (or any number in between), without reducing the authorized number of shares of Common Stock, and the filing of a final amendment with the ratio within such range to be determined in the sole discretion of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) at any time on or before April 30, 2026, without further approval or authorization of the Company’s stockholders. The Board set the Reverse Stock Split ratio at 1-for-8 and approved and authorized the filing of the Certificate of Amendment on April 2, 2026.

 

As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, every eight (8) shares of pre-Reverse Stock Split Common Stock will be combined into one (1) share of post-Reverse Stock Split Common Stock, without any change in par value per share. Proportionate voting rights and other rights of holders of Common Stock will not be affected by the Reverse Stock Split (other than as a result of the payment of cash in lieu of fractional shares as described below).

 

No fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued as a result of the Reverse Stock Split. In lieu of any fractional shares to which a holder of Common Stock would otherwise be entitled as a result of the Reverse Stock Split, the Company will pay cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the closing sales price of the Common Stock as reported on the Nasdaq Capital Market on April 2, 2026, which is the trading day immediately preceding the effective date of the Reverse Stock Split.

 

The Reverse Stock Split is intended for the Company to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement of $1.00 per share of Common Stock for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market. The Reverse Stock Split was effective at 12:01 a.m., Eastern Time, on April 6, 2026, and the Common Stock began trading on a Reverse Stock Split-adjusted basis on the Nasdaq Capital Market at the opening of the market on April 6, 2026. The trading symbol for the Common Stock will remain “GNLN,” and the new CUSIP number of the Common Stock following the Reverse Stock Split is 395330 608.

 

The Reverse Stock Split affected all record holders of the Common Stock uniformly and did not affect any record holder’s percentage ownership interest in the Company, except for de minimis changes as a result of the elimination of fractional shares. Holders of Common Stock who hold in “street name” in their brokerage accounts do not have to take any action as a result of the Reverse Stock Split. Their accounts will be automatically adjusted to reflect the number of shares owned. Stockholders of record will be receiving information from Equiniti Trust Company, LLC regarding their stock ownership following the Reverse Stock Split and cash in lieu of fractional share payments, if applicable.

 

In addition, the Reverse Stock Split will apply to the Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Company’s outstanding warrants, pre-funded warrants and stock options, with proportionate adjustments to be made to the exercise prices in accordance with the applicable terms thereof. Furthermore, the number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the Company’s equity incentive plans will be proportionately adjusted for the Reverse Stock Split ratio, such that fewer shares will be subject to such plans.

 

The summary of the Certificate of Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Certificate of Amendment, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
