Westport, CT, Jan. 31, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- BioSig Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: BSGM) ("BioSig" or the "Company"), a medical technology company committed to delivering unprecedented accuracy and precision to intracardiac signal visualization, today announced that it intends to effect a reverse stock split of its common stock at a ratio of 1 post-split share for every 10 pre-split shares. The reverse stock split will become effective at 4:05 p.m. New York Time on Thursday, February 1, 2024. BioSig's common stock will continue to trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol BSGM. It will begin trading on a split-adjusted basis when the market opens on Friday, February 2, 2024. The new CUSIP number for the common stock following the reverse stock split will be 09073N3008.

At the Company's annual meeting of stockholders held on December 18, 2023, BioSig's stockholders granted the Company's board of directors (the “Board”) the discretion to effect a reverse stock split of all of the outstanding shares of the Company's common stock through an amendment to its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation at a ratio in the range of 1-for-2 to 1-for-10, with the exact exchange ratio and timing to be determined by the Company's Board. 

At the effective time of the reverse stock split, every ten shares of BioSig's issued and outstanding common stock will be converted automatically into one issued and outstanding share of common stock without any change in the par value per share. Stockholders holding shares through a brokerage account will have their shares automatically adjusted to reflect the 1-for-10 reverse stock split. It is not necessary for stockholders holding shares of the Company's common stock in certificated form to exchange their existing stock certificates for new stock certificates of the Company in connection with the reverse stock split, although stockholders may do so if they wish.

The reverse stock split will affect all stockholders uniformly. It will not alter any stockholder's percentage interest in the Company's equity, except to the extent that the reverse stock split would result in a stockholder owning a fractional share. Any fractional share of a stockholder resulting from the reverse stock split will be rounded up to the nearest whole number of shares. The reverse stock split will reduce the number of shares of BioSig's common stock outstanding from 93,344,435 to approximately 9,334,636, subject to adjustment for the rounding up of fractional shares. Proportional adjustments will be made to the number of shares of BioSig's common stock issuable upon the exercise or conversion of BioSig's equity awards, convertible preferred stock and warrants, and the applicable exercise or conversion price. The reverse stock split will have no effect on the number of authorized shares of common stock or the par value per share. Stockholders with shares in brokerage accounts should direct any questions concerning the reverse stock split to their broker; all other stockholders may direct questions to the Company's transfer agent, Securities Transfer Corporation, via email at info@stctransfer.com or by telephone at 1-469-633-0101.
