Exhibit 99.1

SHARPS TECHNOLOGY, INC. ANNOUNCES STOCKHOLDERS’ APPROVAL OF REVERSE STOCK SPLIT RATIO AND EFFECTIVE DATE

October 14, 2024

NEW YORK, October 14, 2024 / Sharps Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ: “STSS” and “STSSW”) (“Sharps”), an innovative medical device and pharmaceutical packaging company offering patented, best-in-class syringe products, today announced that it will effect a one-for-22 reverse stock split (the “reverse split”) of its common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), that will become effective on October 15, 2024 at 11:59 PM Eastern Time, before the opening of trading on The Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”). Sharps has requested that its Common Stock begin trading on October 16, 2024, on a post-reverse split basis on the Nasdaq under the existing symbol “STSS”.

The reverse split is primarily intended to bring Sharps 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 82003F200.

At Sharps’ special meeting of stockholders on October 7, 2024 (the “Special Meeting”), Sharps’ stockholders approved the proposal to authorize Sharps’ Board of Directors (the “Board”), in its sole and absolute discretion, to file a certificate of amendment (the “Amendment”) to Sharps’ amended and restated certificate of incorporation to effect the reverse split at a ratio to be determined by the Board, not to exceed a 1-for-22 reverse split. On August 19, 2024, the Board approved the reverse split at a ratio of one-for-8 up to 1-for-22, and the Amendment has been filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada, which will become effective on October 15, 2024, at 11:59 PM 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 Sharps’ 2023 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 Sharps’ 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 39.5 million shares to approximately 1.8 million shares.
