Insights

VolitionRx consolidates shares via a 1-for-20 reverse split.

VolitionRx Limited’s board has executed a one-for-twenty reverse stock split of its common stock, following prior stockholder approval. This action amends the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation through a Certificate of Third Amendment filed in Delaware.

The reverse split becomes effective at 12:01 a.m. ET on April 28, 2026. The amendment also specifies how fractional common shares will be handled. While a reverse split changes the share count and trading price mechanics, its practical impact will depend on how the post-split stock trades and future company disclosures.

"to effect a reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”) of the outstanding shares"
A reverse stock split is when a company reduces the number of its shares outstanding, making each share more valuable. For example, if you own 100 shares worth $1 each, a 1-for-10 reverse split would turn your 100 shares into 10 shares worth $10 each. Companies often do this to boost their stock price and appear more stable to investors.
