Aeva® (NYSE: AEVA), a leader in next-generation sensing and perception systems, today announced that its previously announced a 1-for-5 reverse stock split of its outstanding shares of common stock became effective as of March 18, 2024 at 4:01 p.m. Eastern Time. Aeva’s common stock will continue trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the existing symbol (AEVA) and will begin trading on a split-adjusted basis when the market opens on March 19, 2024, with the new CUSIP number 00835Q202.
As a result of the reverse stock split, every five issued and outstanding shares of Aeva’s common stock was automatically reclassified into one issued and outstanding share of Aeva’s common stock. No fractional shares were issued as a result of the reverse stock split. Stockholders who would otherwise be entitled to a fractional share of common stock are instead entitled to receive a cash payment (without interest) in an amount equal to their respective pro rata share of the total proceeds of the sale of the aggregated fractional shares net of any brokerage and other costs incurred to sell such shares. The reverse stock split will not affect the number of authorized shares of common stock or the par value of the common stock.
Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company is acting as the exchange agent for the reverse stock split. Registered stockholders holding pre-split shares of Aeva’s common stock are not required to take any action to receive post-split shares. Stockholders owning shares via a broker, bank, trust or other nominee will have their positions automatically adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split, subject to such broker’s particular processes, and will not be required to take any action in connection with the reverse stock split. Stockholders holding shares of Aeva’s common stock in certificate form will receive a transmittal letter from Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company with instructions as soon as practicable after the effective date.
The terms of outstanding warrants and equity-based awards (including exercise price and number of shares issuable thereunder) were proportionately adjusted, in accordance with the terms of the applicable agreement. Specifically, every five shares of common stock that may be purchased pursuant to the exercise of warrants prior to the Effective Time represent one share of Common Stock that may be purchased pursuant to such warrants following the Effective Time. The exercise price for each warrant following the Effective Time equals the product of five multiplied by the exercise price prior to the Effective Time. Accordingly, the exercise price for the Company’s public warrants trading under the symbol “AEVA.WS” is $57.50. The CUSIP numbers for the Company’s warrants did not change.
The reverse stock split is primarily intended to increase the per share trading price of Aeva’s common stock in order to meet the NYSE’s price criteria for continued listing.
