Crown Electrokinetics (NASDAQ: CRKN) stock plunged in pre-market trading Monday after the company announced a 1-for-150 reverse stock split.
Crown Electrokinetics has announced a significant corporate action: a 1-for-150 reverse stock split. This stock split will take effect on Tuesday, June 25, 2024, and trading on a split-adjusted basis will commence on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the ticker symbol “CRKN”.
The company’s Board of Directors approved the reverse stock split on June 12, 2024. Shareholder approval followed during the annual meeting on June 14, 2024.
The reverse stock split will consolidate every 150 shares of the company’s issued and outstanding common stock into a single share.
