Insights

Equity structure and corporate actions analyst

Rallybio’s approved 1-for-8 reverse split restructures its share count without changing total company value.

Rallybio obtained shareholder approval to amend its certificate of incorporation and implement a 1-for-8 reverse stock split effective at 12:01 a.m. on February 6, 2026. After that, its common stock will trade on a post-split basis under a new CUSIP identifier.

A reverse split consolidates shares so each holder owns fewer shares at a proportionally higher price, leaving overall economic ownership unchanged. The proposal allowed a 1-for-5 to 1-for-20 range, but the board selected 1-for-8. Approval was decisive, with 34,507,021 votes for and only 464,514 against.

At the December 30, 2025 record date, 42,243,774 shares were outstanding and entitled to vote, and 34,983,474 shares were represented at the special meeting. Future company communications and market trading after February 6, 2026 will reflect the adjusted share count and post-split pricing.
