Rhea-AI Filing Summary

SideChannel, Inc. is implementing a 1-for-52 reverse stock split of its outstanding common stock. At 4:00 p.m. ET on January 22, 2026, after the close of trading on the OTCQB, each 52 shares of pre-split common stock will automatically be reclassified into one share, with any fractional shares rounded up to the nearest whole share.

The company’s common stock is expected to begin trading on a post-split basis at market open on January 23, 2026. The reverse split does not change the authorized number of common shares or the par value, so it mainly affects the number of shares outstanding and the per-share trading price.

Insights

SideChannel is consolidating shares 1-for-52 with fractional shares rounded up.

SideChannel, Inc. is carrying out a 1-for-52 reverse stock split, meaning every 52 existing shares of common stock will become one share. This type of action typically reduces the number of shares outstanding and can increase the market price per share, while leaving the company’s overall equity value unchanged from an accounting standpoint.

The company corrected its amendment so that any fractional shares created by the split will be rounded up to the nearest whole share, which is slightly more favorable to very small holders than standard rounding. The filing also states that the reverse split will not affect the authorized number of common shares or the par value, so the change is focused on the share count and trading dynamics rather than on the company’s capital structure limits.

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

 

As previously reported, on February 12, 2025 at the annual meeting of stockholders, the stockholders of SideChannel, Inc. (the “Company”) approved and adopted an amendment to the Company’s certificate of incorporation, as amended (the “Certificate of Incorporation”), to effectuate a reverse stock split of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock, at a ratio of no less than 1-for-2 and no more than 1-for-200, with such ratio to be determined by the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) in its sole discretion. On August 21, 2025, the Board approved a reverse stock split at a ratio of 1-for-52 (the “Reverse Split”). On January 12, 2026, the Company filed a certificate of amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Amendment”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to effectuate the Reverse Split. The Certificate of Amendment will be effective for state law purposes at 4:00 p.m. ET on January 22, 2026, after the close of trading on the OTCQB, such that the Company’s common stock is expected to begin trading on a post-Reverse Split basis at market open on January 23, 2026.

 

The foregoing description of the Certificate of Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Certificate of Amendment, which is filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference herein.

 

On January 16, 2026, the Company filed a certificate of correction to the Certificate of Amendment (the “Certificate of Correction”) to correct a scrivener’s error in the Certificate of Amendment. The Certificate of Amendment indicated that any fractional shares resulting from the Reverse Split would be rounded “to the nearest whole share” of common stock, rather than providing that any fractional shares would be rounded “up to the nearest whole share” of common stock, as the Company intended.

 

Accordingly, at 4:00 p.m. ET on January 22, 2026, after the close of trading on the OTCQB, each 52 shares of issued and outstanding common stock (collectively, the “Pre-Split Common Stock”) will automatically, and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, be reclassified such that each 52 shares of Pre-Split Common Stock will become one share of common stock, with any resulting fractional shares common stock being rounded up to the nearest whole share of common stock. The Company’s common stock is expected to begin trading on a post-Reverse Split basis at market open on January 23, 2026. The Reverse Split will not affect the authorized number of shares of common stock or the par value of the common stock.

 

The foregoing description of the Certificate of Correction does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Certificate of Correction, which is filed as Exhibit 3.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference herein.
