enVVeno Medical (NASDAQ: NVNO) adds reverse stock split vote to 2025 meeting
enVVeno Medical Corporation is asking stockholders to approve authority for a reverse stock split of its common stock, at a ratio between one-for-five and one-for-thirty-five, to be implemented at the Board’s discretion if approved. The company currently has 20,216,176 shares outstanding; for example, at a one-for-five ratio this would become approximately 4,043,235 shares. The Board states its main goal is to lift the share price above Nasdaq’s $1.00 minimum bid requirement after receiving notice that the stock traded below that level for 30 consecutive business days, with a recent closing price of $0.3297 per share. The reverse split would not change authorized share counts, so it would increase the pool of authorized but unissued shares, and each holder’s ownership percentage is expected to remain about the same aside from fractional-share cashouts. The Board also reduced the quorum requirement for stockholder meetings to thirty three and one-third percent of voting shares outstanding.

enVVeno seeks flexible reverse split authority to address Nasdaq bid-price deficiency.
enVVeno Medical is adding a fifth proposal to its 2025 annual meeting agenda to authorize a reverse stock split in a wide range from one-for-five to one-for-thirty-five. The Board ties this directly to Nasdaq rules, noting the stock closed at $0.3297 on November 18, 2025 and that Nasdaq has notified the company it no longer meets the $1.00 minimum bid requirement. The split would be effected, if at all, via a certificate of amendment filed at the Board’s sole discretion.
The reverse split would not change the number of authorized common or preferred shares, but would reduce outstanding shares from 20,216,176 to, for example, about 4,043,235 at one-for-five or 577,605 at one-for-thirty-five. That structure preserves each holder’s proportional ownership, aside from cash in lieu of fractional shares, while increasing the number of authorized but unissued shares. The company states the move is not part of a plan to go private and that the Board can abandon the split even if it receives approval.
The filing also discloses that the Board amended bylaws on November 17, 2025 to lower the quorum requirement from a majority to thirty three and one-third percent of outstanding voting shares. Approval of the reverse split proposal requires a majority in voting power of shares present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote, and it is classified as a routine matter, allowing brokers to vote without specific instructions if none are provided.

Why is enVVeno Medical (NVNO) seeking approval for a reverse stock split?
The Board states that the main purpose is to raise the per-share trading price of the common stock to comply with Nasdaq’s minimum bid requirement of $1.00 per share.

Based on 20,216,176 common shares outstanding as of the record date, a one-for-five reverse split would reduce the outstanding shares to approximately 4,043,235, while a one-for-thirty-five split would reduce them to about 577,605. Each stockholder is expected to hold roughly the same ownership percentage, aside from cash paid instead of issuing fractional shares.
Will the reverse stock split change enVVeno Medical’s authorized share count or voting rights?
The company states that the reverse split will not change the authorized number of common or preferred shares, so the number of authorized but unissued shares would increase.

What voting approval is required for enVVeno Medical’s reverse split proposal?
Approval of Proposal 5 requires the affirmative vote of holders of a majority in voting power of the shares that are present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote on the proposal.
