HONG KONG, Feb. 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Infobird Co., Ltd (NASDAQ: IFBD) (“Infobird” or the “Company”), a software-as-a-service provider of innovative AI-powered, or artificial intelligence enabled, customer engagement solutions, today announced that the extraordinary general meetings of the shareholders held on February 20, 2024, at Room 706, 7/F, Low Block, Grand Millennium Plaza, 181 Queen’s Road Central, Central, Hong Kong, approved the proposed 1-for-8 share consolidation of its ordinary shares of US$0.5 par value each (the “Share Consolidation”) as well as capital reduction and share capital reorganization (the “Capital Reduction and Reorganization”).
Beginning with the opening of trading on February 27, 2024, the Company’s ordinary shares will begin trading on a post-Share Consolidation basis on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the same symbol “IFBD”, but under a new CUSIP number of G47724300. The objective of the Share Consolidation is to enable the Company to regain compliance with Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5550(a)(2) and maintain its listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market.
Upon the effectiveness of the Share Consolidation, every eight ordinary shares of a par value of US$0.5 each (including issued and unissued shares) will automatically be consolidated into one ordinary share of a par value of US$4.0 each. No fractional shares will be issued as a result of the Share Consolidation. Instead, any fractional shares that would have resulted from the Share Consolidation will be rounded up to the next whole number. The Share Consolidation affects all shareholders uniformly and will not alter any shareholder’s percentage interest in the Company’s outstanding ordinary shares, except for adjustments that may result from the treatment of fractional shares.
The capital reduction will become effective when the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands grants a court order to confirm the Capital Reduction. Immediately following the Capital Reduction and the Reorganization, the authorized share capital of the Company be changed from US$25,000,000,000 divided into 6,250,000,000 shares of par value of US$4.00 each to US$50,000,000 divided into 5,000,000,000,000 ordinary shares of par value US$0.00001 each by cancelling the excess authorized but unissued ordinary shares in the authorized share capital. If implemented, the Capital Reduction will be effected simultaneously for all issued shares of the Company. The Capital Reduction will affect all of our shareholders uniformly and will not affect any shareholder’s percentage ownership interests in the Company. After the Capital Reduction and Reorganization, our ordinary shares will have the same voting rights and rights to dividends and distributions and will be identical in all other respects to our ordinary shares now authorized.
The Share Consolidation and the Capital Reduction and Reorganization was approved by the Company’s board of directors on January 10, 2024 and its shareholders on February 20, 2024. The Company will file a Sixth Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association with the Cayman Islands Registrar of Companies after the Capital Reduction and Reorganization becomes effective.
