Xcel Brands Announces 1-for-10 Reverse Stock Split, Effective March 25

(RTTNews) - Xcel Brands, Inc. (XELB) will implement a 1-for-10 reverse stock split of its outstanding common stock, effective at the start of trading on March 25, 2025.

The company's stock will continue trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the ticker symbol XELB, with a new CUSIP number (98400M200) assigned post-split.

As a result of the reverse split, every ten shares of common stock will be consolidated into one share, maintaining the same overall ownership percentage for stockholders, except for fractional shares.

Stock options and warrants will be proportionally adjusted along with their exercise prices.

The reverse split was approved at a special stockholders' meeting on March 12, 2025, authorizing the Board of Directors to implement a split ratio between 1-for-2 and 1-for-10, with the final decision made at the discretion of the Board Chairman. The change will occur automatically, with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company handling the adjustments for shareholders.

XELB is currently trading at $0.2626 or 10.0993% lower on the Nasdaq Capital Market.
