[DEF 14A] Senseonics Holdings, Inc. Definitive Proxy Statement
Senseonics Holdings, Inc. (SENS) is asking shareholders to approve authority for its board to implement a reverse stock split at a ratio between 1-for-10 and 1-for-20, at any time before September 29, 2026. The Special Meeting will be held virtually on September 29, 2025 and the record date is August 7, 2025 when 814,680,910 shares were outstanding. The board unanimously recommends a vote FOR the proposal to give management flexibility to raise the per-share trading price, address NYSE American minimum price criteria, potentially improve marketability and liquidity, and preserve flexibility for future corporate actions. No fractional shares will be issued; holders entitled to fractions will receive cash based on the five-day average closing price before the effective date. Approval requires a majority of votes properly cast.

- None.
Insights
TL;DR: Board seeks flexible authority for a 1:10–1:20 reverse split to address listing risk and potentially improve marketability.
The proposal is a tactical corporate action to address low trading price and NYSE American listing criteria by reducing outstanding shares and increasing the per-share price. The board’s authority to select any ratio within 1-for-10 to 1-for-20 provides execution flexibility through September 29, 2026. Key quantifiable facts: 814,680,910 shares outstanding as of the record date and 155 record holders. The non-issuance of fractional shares and cash-out mechanism based on a five-day average price are specified, which may simplify post-split administration. This is material to equity liquidity and capital-raising options but does not itself change fundamentals.
TL;DR: Shareholder approval grants the board discretionary power; governance trade-offs include flexibility versus potential stockholder perception risks.
The board requests shareholder authorization to amend the charter and effect a reverse split, with the option to abandon after approval. The proxy discloses procedural safeguards: Certificate of Amendment filing, cash-in-lieu for fractional shares, and that the board may choose not to implement the split. Material ownership disclosures identify large holders including PHC Holdings and entities affiliated with Robert J. Smith. The proposal is routine under exchange rules and requires a majority of votes cast to pass.
