As previously disclosed, on December 2, 2019, Recon Technology, Ltd (the “Registrant” or “Company”), held its annual meeting, at which the Company’s shareholders approved a share consolidation or reverse stock split, of the Company’s ordinary shares, par value $0.0185 per share, at a ratio of one-for-four, one-for-five or one-for-six (and if one-for-six is selected, to approve an increase in the authorized share capital of the Company from US$1,850,000.000 to US$1,850,000.037), with the exact ratio to be selected at the sole discretion of the Company’s Board such that the number of the Company’s ordinary shares is decreased and the par value of each ordinary share is increased by that ratio or alternatively that the share capital of the Company remains unchanged.

 

On December 10, 2019, the Company’s Board approved to effect a reverse stock split of the Company's ordinary shares at the ratio of one-for-five with the market effective date of December 27, 2019, such that the number of the Company’s ordinary shares is decreased from 100,000,000 to 20,000,000 and the par value of each ordinary share is increased from US$0.0185 to US$0.0925 (the “Reverse Stock Split”).

 

Reason for the Reverse Stock Split

 

The Reverse Stock Split was effected solely to enable the Company to expeditiously meet the NASDAQ continued listing standards relating to the minimum bid price (which the Company was previously advised it was in non-compliance with) and to reduce the risk of the Company being automatically delisted from the NASDAQ Capital Market due to the closing bid price of its ordinary shares falling below $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business days, which typically triggers the NASDAQ to begin delisting procedures regarding a listed company’s securities.

 

Effects of the Reverse Stock Split

 

Effective Date; Symbol; CUSIP Number. The Reverse Stock Split will become effective on December 26, 2019, and will be reflected with the NASDAQ Capital Market and in the marketplace at the open of business on December 27, 2019 (the “Effective Date”), whereupon the ordinary shares begin trading on a split-adjusted basis. In connection with the Reverse Stock Split, the Company’s ordinary shares continue to trade on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbol “RCON” but trade under a new CUSIP Number, G7415M124.

 

Split Adjustment; No Fractional Shares. On the Effective Date, the total number of the Company’s ordinary shares held by each shareholder will be converted automatically into the number of whole ordinary shares equal to (i) the number of issued and outstanding ordinary shares held by such shareholder immediately prior to the Reverse Stock Split, divided by (ii) 5.

 

No fractional ordinary shares will be issued to any shareholders in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. Each shareholder will be entitled to receive one ordinary share in lieu of the fractional share that would have resulted from the Reverse Stock Split.

 

Non-Certificated Shares; Certificated Shares. Shareholders who are holding their shares in electronic form at brokerage firms do not have to take any action as the effect of the Reverse Stock Split will automatically be reflected in their brokerage accounts.

 

Shareholders holding paper certificates may (but are not required to) send the certificates to the Company’s transfer agent at the address given below. The transfer agent will issue a new share certificate reflecting the terms of the Reverse Stock Split to each requesting shareholder.

Authorized Shares. At the time the Reverse Stock Split is effective, our authorized ordinary shares will be consolidated at the ratio of one-for-five. The authorized share capital of the Company will be US$1,850,000 divided into 20,000,000 Ordinary Shares of a nominal or par value of US$0.0925 each.

 

Capitalization. As of December 26, 2019 (immediately prior to the Effective Date), there were 23,049,639 ordinary shares outstanding. As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, there are approximately 4,609,928 ordinary shares outstanding (subject to adjustment due to the effect of rounding fractional shares into whole shares).
