Picard Medical, Inc. (NYSE American: PMI) (the "Company" or "Picard Medical"), parent company of SynCardia Systems LLC, maker of the world's first and only total artificial heart approved by both the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") and Health Canada, today announced that its Board of Directors has approved the implementation of a 1-for-50 reverse stock split of the Company's issued and outstanding common stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”).
As disclosed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on July 21, 2026, the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment to the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation at the annual meeting of the stockholders held on July 17, 2026, authorizing a reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock at a ratio in the range of 1-for-15 to 1-for-50, with the ratio, implementation and timing to be determined by the Board in its sole discretion.
The Board subsequently determined to effect the Reverse Stock Split at a ratio of 1-for-50.
The Reverse Stock Split is expected to become effective at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on July 31, 2026, with the Company's common stock expected to begin trading on a split-adjusted basis at the opening of trading on August 3, 2026 under the existing NYSE American ticker symbol, “PMI” with a new CUSIP number of 71953R 207.
At the effective time of the Reverse Stock Split, every fifty (50) issued and outstanding shares of the Company's common stock will automatically be combined into one (1) issued and outstanding share of common stock for stockholders of record as of the close of trading on July 31, 2026, the effective date.
The Reverse Stock Split will proportionately reduce the number of outstanding shares of common stock while leaving each stockholder's percentage ownership in the Company substantially unchanged, subject to the treatment of fractional shares.
No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. Stockholders who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fractional share as a result of the Reverse Stock Split will have their shares rounded up to the nearest whole share.
The Reverse Stock Split will proportionately adjust the number of shares of common stock underlying the Company's outstanding equity awards, warrants and other convertible securities, as well as the applicable exercise or conversion prices, in accordance with their respective terms.
"The Reverse Stock Split is an important step in supporting our continued listing on NYSE American while positioning Picard Medical for our next phase of growth," said Richard Fang, Interim Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board.
"We remain focused on executing on our updated commercial strategy for the SynCardia Total Artificial Heart, expanding adoption of this technology while optimizing our manufacturing, advancing the development of the Emperor, next-generation total artificial heart platform, and pursuing opportunities to create long-term value for our stockholders."
The Company's transfer agent, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, will act as exchange agent for the Reverse Stock Split.
Stockholders holding shares electronically through a brokerage account or in book-entry form are not required to take any action to receive their post-split shares.
