New CUSIP number 92852R601 CUSIP for Vivakor’s common stock following the reverse stock split
reverse stock split financial
"Vivakor, Inc. announced a 1-for-20 reverse stock split of its issued and outstanding common stock"
A reverse stock split reduces a company's number of outstanding shares while raising the price per share proportionally, so the total value of each investor's holding is unchanged; a 1-for-10 split turns 100 shares worth $1 each into 10 shares worth $10 each. Companies often do this to regain compliance with an exchange's minimum price rule or to attract investors who avoid very low-priced stocks.
Nasdaq Capital Market financial
"intended to increase the per-share trading price and support the Company’s continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market"
The Nasdaq Capital Market is a platform where smaller, emerging companies can list their shares for trading by investors. It provides these companies with access to funding and visibility, helping them grow, much like a local marketplace where new vendors can introduce their products to potential customers. For investors, it offers opportunities to discover early-stage companies with growth potential.
CUSIP number financial
"Following the reverse stock split, the Company’s common stock will trade under the new CUSIP number 92852R601"
A CUSIP number is a nine-character code that uniquely identifies a specific U.S. or Canadian stock, bond, or other security, similar to a barcode or a social-security number for a financial instrument. It matters to investors because it removes confusion between similar securities, ensures trades and settlements are applied to the correct issue, and helps locate official documents and transaction records quickly.
forward-looking statements regulatory
"This news release may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions"
Forward-looking statements are predictions or plans that companies share about what they expect to happen in the future, like estimating sales or profits. They matter because they help investors understand a company's outlook, but since they are based on guesses and assumptions, they can sometimes be wrong.
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 regulatory
