April 14 2021 - 4:05PM
InspireMD, Inc. (NYSE American: NSPR, NSPR.WS, NSPR.WSB), developer
of the CGuard™ Embolic Prevention System (EPS) for the prevention
of stroke caused by the treatment of Carotid Artery Disease (CAD),
today announced a 1-for-15 reverse split of its common stock,
effective as of April 26, 2021. Beginning on April 27, 2021, the
Company’s common stock will trade on the NYSE American on a split
adjusted basis.
At InspireMD’s special meeting of stockholders
on April 14, 2021, the Company’s stockholders authorized the Board
of Directors to amend the Amended and Restated Certificate of
Incorporation of the Company to effect a reverse stock split at a
ratio in the range of 1-for-10 to 1-for-20.
Upon effectiveness, the reverse stock split will
cause a reduction in the number of shares of common stock
outstanding and issuable upon the conversion of the Company’s
outstanding shares of preferred stock and the exercise of its
outstanding stock options and warrants in proportion to the ratio
of the reverse stock split and will cause a proportionate increase
in the conversion and exercise prices of such preferred stock,
stock options and warrants. The number of shares of common stock
issuable upon exercise or vesting of outstanding stock options and
warrants will be rounded up to the nearest whole share.
Accordingly, upon effectiveness of the reverse stock split,
each outstanding warrant currently trading on the NYSE
American under the symbol “NSPR.WS” shall become
a warrant to purchase one-twenty six thousand two hundred
fiftieth (1/26,250) of one share of common stock at an exercise
price of $131,250.00 per full share of common stock, and
each outstanding warrant currently trading on the NYSE
American under the symbol “NSPR.WSB” shall become
a warrant to purchase one-twenty six thousand two hundred
fiftieth (1/26,250) of one share of common stock at an exercise
price of $52,500.00 per full share of common stock, pursuant to the
terms of such warrants. Warrants may only be exercised for a whole
number of shares of common stock. Warrants exercised on or prior to
April 26, 2021 will be deemed exercised on a pre-adjusted
basis.
The Company’s common stock will continue to
trade on the NYSE American under the symbol “NSPR.” The new CUSIP
number for the common stock following the reverse stock split is
45779A 846.
The number of authorized shares of the Company’s
common stock will remain at 150,000,000, while the number of
outstanding shares will be reduced from approximately 118.0 million
to 7.9 million. No fractional shares will be issued following the
reverse stock split.
Registered stockholders holding their shares of
common stock in book-entry or through a bank, broker or other
nominee form do not need to take any action in connection with the
reverse stock split. For those stockholders holding physical stock
certificates, the Company’s transfer agent, Action Stock Transfer
Corp, will send instructions for exchanging those certificates for
new certificates representing the post-split number of shares.
Action Stock Transfer Corp can be reached at (801) 274-1088.

split can be found in the Company’s definitive proxy statement
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 9,
2021, a copy of which is also available at www.sec.gov or at
