Insights

Reverse split aims to address Nasdaq bid-price compliance without changing ownership stakes.

Wearable Devices is executing a 1-for-3 reverse split of ordinary shares and warrants, consolidating the float but leaving authorized capital at 500,000,000 shares. This is a structural change to share count and price, not to the company’s underlying business.

The stated objective is to lift the trading price to satisfy Nasdaq’s $1.00 minimum bid requirement and reduce the risk of immediate delisting under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A). Economic ownership remains essentially proportional, aside from minor rounding effects on fractional positions.

Actual impact will depend on how the post-split share price trades once WLDS and WLDSW begin split-adjusted trading on June 22, 2026, and on the company’s ability to maintain bid-price compliance over time.

Reverse Share Split financial
"it will effect a reverse share split (the “Reverse Share Split”) of the Company’s ordinary shares"
A reverse share split is when a company reduces the number of its shares outstanding by combining multiple shares into one, effectively increasing the price of each share. For investors, this can help improve the company's image or meet stock exchange listing requirements, but it does not change the total value of their investment. It’s similar to turning many small pieces of a puzzle into fewer larger pieces—nothing new is added or lost, just rearranged.
Nasdaq Capital Market financial
"The Ordinary Shares and Warrants will continue to trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the existing symbols"
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.
minimum bid price requirement regulatory
"to regain compliance with the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market"
A minimum bid price requirement is a rule that a stock must trade above a set price for a specified period to stay listed on an exchange. It matters to investors because falling below that threshold can trigger warnings or removal from the exchange, which can cut liquidity, reduce visibility, and often lead to sharper declines in share value—think of it like a venue’s minimum dress code that, if not met, can bar a performer from the stage.

Reverse Share Split

 

On June 17, 2026, Wearable Devices Ltd. (the “Company”) announced that it will effect a reverse share split (the “Reverse Share Split”) of the Company’s ordinary shares, no par value per share, (the “Ordinary Shares”) and the Company’s tradable warrants, each exercisable for one Ordinary Share (the “Warrants”), at the ratio of 1-for-3. As a result of the Reverse Share Split, every three (3) Ordinary Shares shall be consolidated into one (1) Ordinary Share and every three (3) Warrants shall be consolidated into one (1) Warrant. In addition, the exercise price underlying each Warrant shall be proportionately adjusted. The Ordinary Shares and Warrants will continue to trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the existing symbols “WLDS” and “WLDSW”, respectively, and will begin trading on a split-adjusted basis when the market opens on June 22, 2026. The new CUSIP numbers for the Ordinary Shares and Warrants following the Reverse Share Split will be M97838 409 and M97838 219, respectively.

 

The Reverse Share Split was approved by the Company’s shareholders at the Company’s Special General Meeting of Shareholders held on June 4, 2026, to be effected at the board of directors’ discretion within approved parameters, and the board of directors has approved the 1-for-3 ratio. The Reverse Share Split will not result in an adjustment to the authorized share capital of the Company under the Company’s amended and restated articles of association, as currently in effect (the “Articles”), which, as of the date hereof consists of 500,000,000 Ordinary Shares.

 

The Reverse Share Split will adjust the number of issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares of the Company from 6,568,408 Ordinary Shares to approximately 2,189,469 Ordinary Shares and the number of Warrants from 32,886 Warrants to approximately 10,962 Warrants (subject to any further adjustments based on the treatment of fractional shares). In accordance with the Company’s Articles, no fractional Ordinary Shares or Warrants will be issued as a result of the Reverse Share Split and all fractional Ordinary Shares or Warrants shall be rounded to the nearest whole Ordinary Share or Warrant, as applicable, such that only shareholders holding fractional consolidated Ordinary Shares or Warrants of more than half of the number of Ordinary Shares or Warrants which consolidation constitutes one whole Ordinary Share or Warrant, shall be entitled to receive one consolidated Ordinary Share or Warrant, as applicable. Proportional adjustments also will be made to Ordinary Shares underlying outstanding options and warrants, including the Warrants, (with a reciprocal increase in the per share exercise price), restricted shares, restricted share units, and to the number of Ordinary Shares issued and issuable under the Company’s share incentive plans and certain existing agreements.

 

On June 17, 2026, the Company issued a press release titled “Wearable Devices Ltd. Announces 1-for-3 Reverse Stock Split,” a copy of which is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Report of Foreign Private Issuer on Form 6-K (this “Report”).

Wearable Devices Ltd. Announces 1-for-3 Reverse Stock Split

 

Strategic Action Aimed at Regaining Compliance with Nasdaq’s Minimum Bid Price Requirement and Protecting Continued Listing Status

 

YOKNEAM ILLIT, ISRAEL, June 17, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Wearable Devices Ltd. (the “Company” or “Wearable Devices”) (Nasdaq: WLDS, WLDSW), a technology growth company specializing in artificial intelligence (“AI”)-powered touchless sensing wearables, today announced that it intends to effect a one-for-three reverse split (the “Reverse Share Split”) of the Company’s ordinary shares, no par value per share, (the “Ordinary Shares”) and the Company’s tradable warrants (the “Warrants”). The Ordinary Shares and Warrants will continue to trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the existing symbols “WLDS” and “WLDSW”, respectively, and will begin trading on a split-adjusted basis when the market opens on June 22, 2026. The new CUSIP numbers for the Ordinary Shares and Warrants following the Reverse Share Split will be M97838 409 and M97838 219, respectively.

 

The primary purpose of the Reverse Share Split is to increase the per-share trading price of the Company’s Ordinary Shares to regain compliance with the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market. Under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), as recently amended, companies that have conducted a reverse split within the prior two-year period may face immediate delisting proceedings without the benefit of a standard 180-day grace period if they fall out of compliance. By effecting the Reverse Share Split at this time, the Company intends to proactively satisfy these regulatory requirements and maintain the listing of its Ordinary Shares and Warrants on Nasdaq.

 

The Reverse Share Split was approved by the Company’s shareholders at the Company’s Special General Meeting of Shareholders held on June 4, 2026, to be effected at the board of directors’ discretion within approved parameters, and the board of directors has approved the 1-for-3 ratio. The Reverse Share Split will not result in an adjustment to the authorized share capital of the Company under the Company’s amended and restated articles of association, as currently in effect (the “Articles”), which, as of the date hereof consists of 500,000,000 Ordinary Shares.

 

The Reverse Share Split will affect all shareholders uniformly and will not alter any shareholder’s percentage ownership interest in the Company’s equity, except for minor changes to the treatment of fractional shares as described below. The Reverse Share Split will adjust the number of issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares of the Company from 6,568,408 Ordinary Shares to approximately 2,189,469 Ordinary Shares and the number of publicly held Warrants from 32,886 Warrants to approximately 10,962 Warrants (subject to any further adjustments based on the treatment of fractional shares). In accordance with the Company’s Articles, no fractional Ordinary Shares or Warrants will be issued as a result of the Reverse Share Split and all fractional Ordinary Shares or Warrants shall be rounded to the nearest whole Ordinary Share or Warrant, as applicable, such that only shareholders holding fractional consolidated Ordinary Shares or Warrants of more than half of the number of Ordinary Shares or Warrants which consolidation constitutes one whole Ordinary Share or Warrant, shall be entitled to receive one consolidated Ordinary Share or Warrant, as applicable. Proportional adjustments also will be made to Ordinary Shares underlying outstanding options and warrants (with a reciprocal increase in the per share exercise price), restricted shares, restricted share units, and to the number of Ordinary Shares issued and issuable under the Company’s share incentive plans and certain existing agreements.

 

VStock Transfer, the Company’s transfer agent, will send instructions to shareholders of record who hold share certificates regarding the exchange of certificates for Ordinary Shares. Shareholders who hold their Ordinary Shares in book-entry form or in brokerage accounts or “street name” are not required to take any action to effect the exchange of their Ordinary Shares following the Reverse Share Split.
