Helio sets flexible reverse split to pursue an exchange uplisting.

Helio Corporation obtained written consent from majority holders to implement a reverse stock split between 1.25-for-1 and 5-for-1. The board can choose the ratio and timing within 12 months, giving discretion to align with market conditions and an underwritten offering.

reverse stock split financial
"approved and authorized an amendment ... to effect a reverse stock split of the Company’s issued and outstanding Common Stock"
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.

Schedule 14C regulatory
"coordinating effectiveness with (i) the applicable Schedule 14C notice period under Regulation 14C of the Securities Exchange Act"
Schedule 14C is an SEC filing that companies use to send an official information statement to shareholders when they are not asking for proxy votes. It lays out key facts about corporate actions—such as reorganizations, related-party transactions, or changes in governance—so investors can understand what’s happening without being asked to vote, like receiving a detailed neighborhood notice about a rule change rather than a petition. Because it provides formal, regulated disclosure, Schedule 14C helps investors verify claims, weigh potential impacts on ownership or value, and hold management accountable.

underwritten public offering financial
"the Reverse Stock Split is intended to bring the Company’s share price into compliance ... in connection with a contemplated underwritten public offering"
An underwritten public offering is when a company sells new shares of its stock to the public with the help of a financial firm, called an underwriter. The underwriter agrees to buy all the shares upfront, reducing the company's risk, and then sells them to investors. This process helps companies raise money quickly and confidently from a wide range of buyers.

Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

 

On May 11, 2026, Helio Corporation (the “Company”) received the written consent (the “Written Consent”) of holders of record of an aggregate of 16,331,019 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), representing approximately 64.44% of the 25,342,454 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding as of such date, acting in lieu of a special meeting pursuant to Section 607.0704 of the Florida Business Corporation Act and the Company’s bylaws. The consenting shareholders are Gregory Delory (5,600,780 shares; 22.10%), Paul Turin (7,730,329 shares; 30.50%), and Edward Cabrera (3,000,000 shares; 11.84%).

 

By the Written Consent, the majority shareholders approved and authorized an amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation to effect a reverse stock split of the Company’s issued and outstanding Common Stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”) at a ratio within the range of 1.25-for-1 to 5-for-1, with the exact ratio and timing to be determined by the Board of Directors (or a duly authorized committee thereof) in its sole discretion at any time within 12 months following the date of the Written Consent. Fractional shares resulting from the Reverse Stock Split will be addressed as determined by the officers of the Company, including by rounding up to the nearest whole share or payment of cash in lieu of fractional shares. The Board of Directors approved and recommended the Reverse Stock Split at a duly called meeting held on May 9, 2026. Upon determination of the exact ratio, the proper officers of the Company are authorized and directed to prepare, execute, and file Articles of Amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation with the Florida Department of State, Division of Corporations, coordinating effectiveness with (i) the applicable Schedule 14C notice period under Regulation 14C of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (ii) FINRA corporate action processing, and (iii) the Company’s transfer agent.

 

The Board of Directors has determined that the Reverse Stock Split is advisable and in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders in order to support the Company’s proposed uplisting of its Common Stock to a national securities exchange. Both the Nasdaq Capital Market and the New York Stock Exchange impose a minimum bid price requirement of $4.00 per share for initial listing, and the Reverse Stock Split is intended to bring the Company’s share price into compliance with that threshold in connection with a contemplated underwritten public offering.
