Xi’an, China, June 28, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- China Green Agriculture, Inc. (NYSE: CGA) today announced that its Board of Directors and shareholders approved a reverse stock split of the Company’s Common Stock at a ratio of 1-for-12. The reverse stock split is effective after market close on June 27, 2019 (Effective Time). The Common Stock will begin trading on a split-adjusted basis on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) at the market open on June 28, 2019.
At the Effective Time, every twelve issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock will be converted into one share of the Company’s Common Stock. Once effective, the reverse stock split will reduce the number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding from approximately 47.82 million to approximately 3.98 million.
No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the reverse stock split, with shares rounded to the nearest whole share (except that any resulting shareholding share less than one whole share will be rounded to one whole share.) Holders of the Company’s Common Stock held in book-entry form or through a bank, broker or other nominee do not need to take any action in connection with the reverse stock split.
The reverse stock split is intended to increase the market price per share of the Company’s Common Stock to ensure the Company regains full compliance with the NYSE share price listing rule and maintains its listing on the NYSE and to improve the marketability and liquidity of the Company’s Common Stock. The Company anticipates that effects of the reverse stock split will be sufficient for the Company to regain compliance with the NYSE’s continued listing standards by mid-August, 2019.
The trading symbol for the Company’s Common Stock will remain “CGA.” The new CUSIP number for the Company’s Common Stock following the reverse stock split will be 16943W204.
