Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Wearable Devices Ltd. is carrying out a 1‑for‑3 reverse share split of its ordinary shares and publicly traded warrants. Every three existing shares or warrants will be consolidated into one, with warrant exercise prices adjusted proportionally.

The move aims to increase the share price to help regain compliance with Nasdaq’s $1.00 minimum bid requirement and protect the company’s continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market. After the split, issued and outstanding ordinary shares will be reduced from 10,593,227 to approximately 3,531,076, and publicly held warrants from 98,589 to approximately 32,863, while authorized capital remains at 500,000,000 shares.

The split, approved by shareholders and the board at a 1‑for‑3 ratio, will take effect for trading on a split‑adjusted basis when the market opens on March 11, 2026. Fractional positions will be rounded to the nearest whole share or warrant, and outstanding equity awards and plan reserves will be adjusted proportionally.

Insights

Wearable Devices is consolidating shares 1‑for‑3 to support Nasdaq bid‑price compliance while keeping authorized capital unchanged.

The company will consolidate every three ordinary shares and publicly traded warrants into one, with warrant exercise prices adjusted so the economic value per holder is largely maintained. Issued and outstanding shares fall from 10,593,227 to approximately 3,531,076, and publicly held warrants from 98,589 to approximately 32,863.

The stated goal is to lift the trading price above Nasdaq’s $1.00 minimum bid requirement and reduce the risk of delisting under Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A). Because authorized capital of 500,000,000 ordinary shares remains intact, the company preserves flexibility for future equity issuance despite the lower share count.

The reverse split affects all shareholders uniformly except for minor rounding of fractional positions, and it triggers proportional adjustments to options, restricted shares, restricted share units, and shares issuable under incentive plans. Future disclosures in company filings may show whether the higher post‑split price successfully maintains Nasdaq Capital Market listing.

Reverse Share Split

 

On March 6, 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 March 11, 2026. The new CUSIP numbers for the Ordinary Shares and Warrants following the Reverse Share Split will be M97838300 and M97838193, respectively.

 

The Reverse Share Split was approved by the Company’s shareholders at the Company’s Special General Meeting of Shareholders held on February 19, 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 10,593,27 Ordinary Shares to approximately 3,531,076 Ordinary Shares and the number of Warrants from 98,589 Warrants to approximately 32,863 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 March 6, 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, March 06, 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 March 11, 2026. The new CUSIP numbers for the Ordinary Shares and Warrants following the Reverse Share Split will be M97838300 and M97838193, 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 February 19, 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 10,593,227 Ordinary Shares to approximately 3,531,076 Ordinary Shares and the number of publicly held Warrants from 98,589 Warrants to approximately 32,863 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.
