Insights

Powell Max enacts 1-for-10 reverse split to support Nasdaq bid-price compliance.

Powell Max Limited is consolidating all ordinary share classes on a 1-for-10 basis, reducing authorized shares from 550,250,000 to 55,025,000 while increasing par value from US$0.0008 to US$0.008. This does not change aggregate authorized capital but simplifies the share count.

The stated purpose is to lift the Class A Ordinary Share price above the US$1.00 minimum bid required for Nasdaq Capital Market listing. The move is structurally neutral for proportional ownership because all classes are treated uniformly and fractional positions are rounded up.

Actual impact depends on how the market values the stock once trading begins on a split-adjusted basis on April 17, 2026. Future company filings may clarify whether the action successfully maintains Nasdaq listing over time.

reverse stock split financial
"announced that it will implement a 1-for-10 reverse stock split of its Class A Ordinary Shares"
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.
Share Reorganization financial
"such process, the “Share Reorganization”. This structure was effected to satisfy BVI registry procedures"
Nasdaq Capital Market financial
"minimum bid price requirement for continued listing 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.
par value financial
"Ordinary Shares of par value US$0.0008 each into one (1) Ordinary Share of par value US$0.008 each"
Par value is the fixed amount printed on a bond or stock that represents its original value when issued. It’s like the face value of a coin or bill—what the issuer promises to pay back or the starting price of a stock—though it often doesn’t change with market prices. It matters because it helps determine certain financial details, like how much the company will pay back at maturity.

Forward-looking statements are predictions or plans that companies share about what they expect to happen in the future, like estimating sales or profits. They matter because they help investors understand a company's outlook, but since they are based on guesses and assumptions, they can sometimes be wrong.

Share Reorganization

 

Background. Pursuant to the BVI Business Companies Act, 2004 (as amended) and the Company’s memorandum and articles of association, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) is authorized to effect share combinations and subdivisions by resolution of directors, without any requirement for shareholder approval. On March 27, 2026, the Board approved a 1-for-8 share combination of all classes of the Company’s Ordinary Shares. The Company subsequently filed the relevant amended memorandum and articles of association (the “Fifth M&A”) with the Registrar of Corporate Affairs in the British Virgin Islands (the “Registrar”), which took effect upon registration. Following that filing, The Board determined that it would be in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to effect a 1-for-10 share combination rather than a 1-for-8 share combination in order to provide the Company with additional flexibility with respect to its capital structure and to increase the per-share trading price of the Company’s Class A Ordinary Shares. Accordingly, the Board achieved the net effect of a 1-for-10 share combination of all classes of Ordinary Shares after the initial 1-for-8 share combination by completing an 8-for-1 share subdivision and immediately following with a 1-for-10 share combination (such process, the “Share Reorganization”). This structure was effected to satisfy BVI registry procedures and has no independent economic significance; its economic and legal effect on shareholders is identical to a direct 1-for-10 share combination of all classes of Ordinary Shares.

 

Authorized and Issued Share Capital Prior to the Share Reorganization. Immediately prior to the Share Reorganization, the Company was authorized to issue a maximum of 550,250,000 Ordinary Shares with a par value of US$0.0008 each. These shares consisted of: (i) 500,000,000 Class A Ordinary Shares of par value US$0.0008 each (the “Class A Ordinary Shares”); (ii) 250,000 Class B Ordinary Shares of par value US$0.0008 each (the “Class B Ordinary Shares”); and (iii) 50,000,000 Class C Ordinary Shares of par value US$0.0008 each (the “Class C Ordinary Shares” and, together with the Class A Ordinary Shares and the Class B Ordinary Shares, the “Ordinary Shares”).

 

Completion of Share Combination. At completion of the Share Reorganization, the Company combined every ten (10) issued and unissued Ordinary Shares of par value US$0.0008 each into one (1) Ordinary Share of par value US$0.008 each, applied uniformly across all three classes. The aggregate par value of the authorized share capital was unchanged. Immediately following the Share Reorganization, the Company is authorized to issue a maximum of 55,025,000 Ordinary Shares of par value US$0.008 each, consisting of: (i) 50,000,000 Class A Ordinary Shares; (ii) 25,000 Class B Ordinary Shares; and (iii) 5,000,000 Class C Ordinary Shares, each of par value US$0.008. The number of issued and outstanding Class A Ordinary Shares will be reduced from 10,371,518 to approximately 1,037,152, and the number of issued and outstanding Class C Ordinary Shares will be reduced from 6,781,611 to approximately 678,162, in each case subject to adjustment for fractional shares as described below. No Class B Ordinary Shares are issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Share Reorganization. The Share Reorganization affects all shareholders uniformly and will not alter any shareholder’s proportionate equity interest in the Company, except to the extent of any fractional share adjustments described below.

 

Split Adjustment; No Fractional Shares. On the Effective Date, the Class A Ordinary Shares and Class C Ordinary Shares held by each shareholder will each be automatically converted into the number of whole shares of the applicable class equal to (i) the number of issued and outstanding shares of that class held by such shareholder immediately prior to the Share Reorganization, divided by (ii) ten (10). No fractional shares will be issued as a result of the Share Reorganization. Shareholders of record who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fractional share will instead receive one whole share, rounded up to the nearest whole share. For beneficial holders who hold shares through a brokerage firm, fractional shares will be rounded up at the participant level.

 

The foregoing description of the sixth amended and restated memorandum and articles of association of the Company (the “Sixth M&A”) does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Sixth M&A. The Sixth M&A will be filed with the Registrar in connection with the Share Reorganization; a copy is furnished herewith as Exhibit 3.1 to this Form 6-K Report and is incorporated herein by reference. The press release issued by the Company on April 15, 2026 announcing the Share Reorganization is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 6-K Report and is incorporated herein by reference.
