CNET ZW Data Action Technologies Inc

ZW Data Action Technologies Inc. (Nasdaq: CNET) (“ZW Data” or the “Company”), an integrated online advertising, precision marketing, data analytics, and other value-added services company, announced today that its Board of Directors has approved a reverse stock split of its common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) at a ratio of 1-for-4 (the “Reverse Stock Split”). The Reverse Stock Split will take effect on September 30, 2024, and the shares of the Company will trade on a post-split basis on Nasdaq under the Company’s existing trading symbol “CNET,” at the market open on September 30, 2024, upon Nasdaq’s approval. The new CUSIP number following the Reverse Stock Split will be 98880R 307.

Under Nevada Revised Statutes (“NRS”) Section 78.207, the Company may decrease its authorized shares of Common Stock and correspondingly decrease the number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock by resolution adopted by the Board of Directors, without obtaining the approval of the stockholders. The Reverse Stock Split will be effected by the Company filing a Certificate of Change (the “Certificate”) pursuant to NRS Section 78.209 with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada. As a result of the filing of the Certificate, the number of shares of the Company’s authorized Common Stock will be reduced from 50,000,000 shares to 12,500,000 shares and the issued and outstanding number of shares of the Common Stock will be correspondingly decreased.

When the Reverse Stock Split becomes effective, the total number of shares of Common Stock held by each stockholder of the Company will be converted automatically into the number of shares of Common Stock equal to (i) the number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock held by each such stockholder immediately prior to the Reverse Stock Split, divided by (ii) 4, with such resulting number of shares rounded up to the nearest whole share. The Company will issue one whole share of the post-Reverse Stock Split Common Stock to any stockholder who otherwise would have received a fractional share as a result of the Reverse Stock Split. As a result, no fractional shares will be issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split and no cash or other consideration will be paid in connection with any fractional shares that would otherwise have resulted from the Reverse Stock Split.

The Reverse Stock Split has no effect on the par value of the Company’s Common Stock or authorized shares of preferred stock. Immediately after the Reverse Stock Split, each stockholder’s percentage ownership interest in the Company and proportional voting power will remain unchanged, except for minor changes and adjustments that will result from the treatment of fractional shares. The rights and privileges of the holders of shares of Common Stock will be substantially unaffected by the Reverse Stock Split.

The Reverse Stock Split is primarily being effected to regain compliance with the $1.00 minimum bid price required for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2).

Stockholders who are holding their shares in electronic form at brokerage firms do not need to take any action, as the effect of the Reverse Stock Split will automatically be reflected in their brokerage accounts. Stockholders holding paper certificates may (but are not required to) send the certificates to the Company’s transfer agent and registrar, Empire Stock Transfer. Empire Stock Transfer will issue a new stock certificate reflecting the Reverse Stock Split to each requesting stockholder.
