The offering is expected to close on or about February 18, 2020, subject to customary closing conditions.
Trxade Group expects to receive gross proceeds of $5.2 million from the sale of common stock in the offering, prior to deducting the underwriting discounts and offering expenses.

This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy these securities, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of that state or jurisdiction.
Additionally, as previously disclosed, stockholders holding a majority of the outstanding voting shares of the Company, approved a reverse stock split of the outstanding shares of our common stock in the range from one-for-two (1-for-2) to one-for-ten (1-for-10), and provided authority to the Company’s Board of Directors to select the ratio of the reverse stock split in their discretion (the “Stockholder Authority”). On February 12, 2020, the Board of Directors approved a stock split ratio of 1-for-6 (“Reverse Stock Split”) in connection with the Stockholder Authority and the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment with the Secretary of Delaware to affect the Reverse Stock Split which was effective on February 13, 2020. The Reverse Stock Split was undertaken to allow us to meet the minimum share price requirement of the NASDAQ Capital Market in connection with the Uplisting. No fractional shares will be issued as a result of the Reverse Stock Split, and no cash or other consideration will be paid. Instead, the Company will issue one whole share of the post-reverse stock split common stock to any shareholder who otherwise would have received a fractional share as a result of the Reverse Stock Split.
All options, warrants and convertible securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior to the reverse stock split will be appropriately adjusted in accordance with their respective terms in order to reflect the reverse stock split.
The reverse stock split does not affect the Company’s authorized common stock, preferred stock or previously designated series of preferred stock, except to affect, where applicable, the conversion rates and voting rights of such preferred stock.
Action Stock Transfer Corporation, the Company’s transfer agent, will act as the exchange agent for the reverse stock split. Please contact Action Stock Transfer Corporation for further information at (801) 274-1088.
