EDBLW Edible Garden AG Inc

Edible Garden AG Incorporated (“Edible Garden” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: EDBL, EDBLW), a leader in controlled environment agriculture (CEA), locally grown, organic and sustainable produce and products, today announced a planned reverse stock split of its shares of common stock at a ratio of 1-for-20. The reverse stock split will take effect as of 12:01 a.m. ET, on Friday, April 5, 2024, and shares of Edible Garden will trade on a post-split basis on Nasdaq under the existing trading symbol, “EDBL,” at the market open on April 5, 2024.

At the Company’s special meeting of stockholders held November 6, 2023, stockholders approved an amendment to the Company’s certificate of incorporation to implement a reverse stock split in a range of 1-for-5 to 1-for-50, and granted the board of directors the authority to implement and determine the exact split ratio within such range, which was subsequently set by the board at 1-for-20. Following the reverse stock split, the new CUSIP number of the common stock will be 28059P303, with the par value per share of common stock remaining at $0.0001. A proportionate adjustment will be made to the per-share exercise prices and number of shares issuable under all outstanding warrants and equity awards.

Jim Kras, CEO of Edible Garden, commented, “The reverse split is being implemented because we believe it will allow us to meet Nasdaq’s minimum bid price requirements, among other listing requirements. We also believe that the increased market price of the common stock that is expected as a result of implementing the reverse stock split could improve the marketability of the Company’s shares.”

When the reverse stock split becomes effective, every 20 shares of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock will be combined into one share of common stock. Each stockholder’s percentage ownership interest in Edible Garden will remain unchanged after the reverse stock split. Any fractional shares resulting from the reverse stock split will be rounded up to the nearest whole share of common stock. The reverse stock split will not reduce the number of authorized shares of common stock.
