374Water (NASDAQ: SCWO) reverse stock split approved, trading post-split Dec 26

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

374Water Inc. is implementing a 1-for-10 reverse stock split of its common stock, effective at 12:01 a.m. Eastern Time on December 26, 2025. Every ten shares held immediately before the effective time will be combined into one share, with no fractional shares issued.

Stockholders entitled to a fraction of a share will instead receive a cash payment based on the Nasdaq closing price on the effective date. The split will proportionally reduce outstanding shares, equity plan share pools, and shares underlying stock options, restricted stock units and warrants, while increasing their per-share exercise prices. Authorized capital will remain at 1,050,000,000 shares, including 1,000,000,000 common and 50,000,000 preferred shares.

The post-split common stock will continue trading on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol SCWO beginning December 26, 2025, with a new CUSIP of 88583P 203 and an unchanged par value of $0.0001 per share. Stockholders previously approved the reverse split at a special meeting.

Insights

Equity Capital Markets Analyst

374Water is consolidating its share count via a 1-for-10 reverse split.

374Water is carrying out a 1-for-10 reverse stock split, so each block of ten common shares becomes one share. This reduces the number of shares outstanding and those available under equity incentive plans by a factor of ten but leaves each investor's proportional ownership unchanged, except where small fractional positions are cashed out.

Fractional shares will not be issued; instead, holders receive cash equal to their fractional entitlement multiplied by the Nasdaq closing price on December 26, 2025. The company’s total authorized capital remains 1,050,000,000 shares, consisting of 1,000,000,000 common and 50,000,000 preferred shares, which preserves the capacity to issue additional equity if the company elects to do so.

The reverse split also adjusts stock options, restricted stock units and warrants so that underlying share counts fall tenfold while per-share exercise prices increase proportionally. Common stock will trade on a post-split basis on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol SCWO beginning December 26, 2025, making this primarily a mechanical change in share structure rather than a change to the company’s operations.

Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

On December 15, 2025, 374Water Inc. (“374Water” or the “Company”) filed a Certificate of Amendment of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Amendment”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to effect a 1-for-10 reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”) of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock (the “Common Stock” ). The Certificate of Amendment will take effect as of 12:01 a.m. Eastern Time on December 26, 2025 (the “Effective Time”).

Upon the Effective Time of the Certificate of Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, each ten (10) shares of Common Stock issued immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, automatically and without any action on the part of the respective holders thereof, be reclassified and combined into one (1) share of Common Stock. No fractional shares shall be issued. In lieu thereof, stockholders of record who otherwise would be entitled to receive fractional shares will be instead entitled to an amount in cash (without interest or deduction) equal to the fraction of one share to which such stockholder would otherwise be entitled, multiplied by the closing price of our common stock on Nasdaq on the date of the Effective Time. Except for the right to receive the cash payment in lieu of fractional shares, stockholders will not have any voting, dividend or other rights with respect to the fractional shares they would otherwise be entitled to receive. The cash payment may be paid by check, wire, deposit into an existing brokerage account or some other means depending on how the shares are held.. The Reverse Stock Split will affect all shares of the Company’s Common Stock outstanding, or held as treasury stock, immediately prior to the effective time of the Reverse Stock Split, as well as the number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the Company’s equity incentive plans. In addition, the Reverse Stock Split will result in a reduction in the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of stock options, restricted stock units and warrants outstanding immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Reverse Stock Split with a corresponding increase in the exercise price per share applicable to such stock options. The total number of shares of capital stock that we are authorized to issue pursuant to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation will not be affected by the Reverse Stock Split and will remain at 1,050,000,000 shares, consisting of 1,000,000,000 shares of common stock and 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock.

The Company's Common Stock is scheduled to begin trading on a post-Reverse Stock Split basis at the market open on December 26, 2025, under the Company's existing trading symbol “SCWO.” The new CUSIP number for the Common Stock following the Reverse Stock Split is 88583P 203. The par value per share of the common stock will remain unchanged at $0.0001.

The foregoing brief description of the Certificate of Amendment is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Certificate of Amendment, filed as Exhibit 3.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
