Arizona Tribune - Aspire Biopharma Holdings, Inc. Announces Approval Of Reverse Stock Split Ratio

The reverse split is primarily intended to bring Aspire into compliance with the minimum bid price requirement for maintaining its listing on the Nasdaq. The new CUSIP number for the Common Stock following the reverse split will be 738920305.

At Aspire's special meeting of stockholders on April 10, 2026 (the "Special Meeting"), Aspire's stockholders approved the proposal to authorize Aspire's board of directors (the "Board"), in its sole and absolute discretion, to file a certificate of amendment (the "Amendment") to Aspire's amended and restated certificate of incorporation to effect the reverse split of the Company at a ratio of one-to-thirty (1:30). On April 24, 2026, the Board approved the reverse split at a ratio of one-to-thirty (1:30), and the Amendment has been filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, which will become effective on May 11, 2026, at 12:01 AM Eastern Time, before the opening of trading on the Nasdaq.

The reverse split will affect all issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock. All outstanding options, restricted stock awards, warrants and other securities entitling their holders to purchase or otherwise receive shares of Common Stock will be adjusted as a result of the reverse split, as required by the terms of each security. The number of shares available to be awarded under any Equity Incentive Plan, will also be appropriately adjusted. Following the reverse split, the par value of the Common Stock will remain unchanged at $0.0001 per share. The reverse split will not change the authorized number of shares of Common Stock or preferred stock. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued as a result of the Reverse Split, and stockholders who otherwise would be entitled to receive fractional shares of New Common Stock shall be entitled to receive the number of shares of New Common Stock rounded up to the next whole number. The reverse split will affect all stockholders uniformly and will not alter any stockholder's percentage interest in Aspire's equity (other than as a result of the rounding of fractional shares, as set forth above).

The reverse split will reduce the number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding from approximately 36,329,490 million to approximately 1,210,983 million.
