Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Scinai Immunotherapeutics Ltd. (SCNI) is changing the ratio of its American Depositary Shares (ADSs) to ordinary shares, effective August 21, 2026. Each ADS will represent 40,000 ordinary shares, instead of 4,000, which has the same effect as a one-for-ten reverse split of the ADSs.

SCNI’s ADSs are expected to begin trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market on an adjusted basis on August 21, 2026, continuing under the symbol SCNI with a new CUSIP 09073Q402. Holders do not need to take action; fractional ADS entitlements will be aggregated and sold, with net cash proceeds distributed by the depositary. The stated objective is to increase the per-ADS trading price and seek compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), which requires a minimum bid price of $1.00 per ADS, although the company notes there is no assurance this change will restore or maintain compliance.

American Depositary Shares financial
"the ratio of its American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”) to its non-traded ordinary shares"
American depositary shares (ADSs) are a way for investors in the United States to buy shares of foreign companies without dealing with international markets directly. They represent ownership in a foreign company's stock and are traded on U.S. stock exchanges, making it easier for American investors to buy, sell, and own parts of companies from around the world.
reverse split financial
"will have the same effect as a one-for-ten reverse split of the ADSs"
A reverse split is when a company reduces the number of its outstanding shares by combining several existing shares into one new share, so the price per share rises proportionally while the company’s overall value stays the same. Investors care because it can make a stock appear more respectable or meet exchange rules — like turning many small coins into a single larger bill — but it can also signal financial trouble and often affects trading liquidity and investor perception.
fractional entitlements financial
"fractional entitlements to new ADSs will be aggregated and the depositary bank will attempt to sell"
Fractional entitlements occur when a corporate action (like a dividend, stock split, rights offering or consolidation) would give a shareholder a non-whole share or security — for example, 0.5 of a share. Companies typically settle these fractions by paying a small cash amount or rounding up/down, and this matters to investors because it changes cash balances, can slightly alter ownership percentages, and may have small tax and record-keeping implications, much like receiving change after splitting a bill.
Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) regulatory
"regaining compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), which requires a minimum bid price"

ADS Ratio Change

 

On August 19, 2026, Scinai Immunotherapeutics Ltd. (the “Company”) announced that, effective August 21, 2026, the ratio of its American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”) to its non-traded ordinary shares will change from the current ratio of one (1) ADS representing four thousand (4,000) ordinary shares to a new ratio of one (1) ADS representing forty thousand (40,000) ordinary shares (the “ADS Ratio Change”).

 

For holders of the Company’s ADSs, the ADS Ratio Change will have the same effect as a one-for-ten reverse split of the ADSs.

 

The Company’s ADSs are expected to begin trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market on an adjusted basis at the opening of trading on August 21, 2026, and will continue to trade under the symbol “SCNI.” The new CUSIP number for the ADSs will be 09073Q402.

 

No action is required by the holders of the ADSs to affect the ADS Ratio Change, and no fractional new ADSs will be issued in connection with the change in ADS Ratio Change. Instead, fractional entitlements to new ADSs will be aggregated and the depositary bank will attempt to sell them with the net cash proceeds from the sale of the fractional ADS entitlements to be distributed to the applicable ADS holders by the depositary bank.

 

The Company is implementing the ADS Ratio Change with the objective of increasing the per-ADS trading price and regaining compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), which requires a minimum bid price of $1.00 per ADS for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market. There can be no assurance that the ADS Ratio Change will enable the Company to regain or maintain compliance with Nasdaq’s continued-listing requirements.
