FOOTHILL RANCH, Calif.,
Nov. 17, 2021 /PRNewswire/
-- BIOLASE, Inc. (NASDAQ: BIOL), the global leader in dental
lasers, encourages stockholders to vote TODAY "FOR" the
amendment to the BIOLASE, Inc. Certificate of Incorporation to
effect a reverse stock split (without reducing the authorized
number of shares of common stock) (the "amendment" or the "reverse
stock split"). The special meeting of BIOLASE stockholders is
scheduled to be held at 10:00 a.m. Pacific
Time on Friday, November 19, 2021.
With the special meeting only days away, BIOLASE
stockholders are urged to vote now online or by
telephone to ensure their shares are represented at the
special meeting. It is critical that stockholders vote, no
matter how many shares they own. The reverse stock split
will not affect stockholders' percentage ownership of BIOLASE.
Our Board Strongly Recommends That Stockholders Approve the
Amendment. Approving the amendment will:
- Help ensure continued listing of our common stock on The Nasdaq
Capital Market,
- Attract institutional investors and promote greater liquidity
for our stockholders,
- Enable us to offer equity compensation to employees and other
service providers (and, thus, conserve cash), and
- Provide that shares of common stock are authorized and
available for future uses.
