FAIRFAX, Va., Aug. 09, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- WaveDancer, Inc. (NASDAQ:WAVD) ("WaveDancer" or the "Company"), announced today that it intends to effect a reverse stock split of its common stock at a ratio of one (1) post-split share for every three (3) pre-split shares. The reverse stock split will become effective at 12:01 p.m., New York time, on Monday, August 12, 2024, and will begin trading on a split-adjusted basis when the market opens on Tuesday, August 13, 2024. The new CUSIP number for the common stock following the reverse stock split will be 317970101. Additionally, in connection with the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of November 15, 2023, as amended, by and between WaveDancer, Firefly Neuroscience, Inc. and FFN Merger Sub, Inc., WaveDancer will change its name to Firefly Neuroscience, Inc. prior to the consummation of the reverse stock split. Upon market-effective date of the reverse stock split on August 13, 2024, the Company's name will be Firefly Neuroscience, Inc. and the Company's common stock will trade under the symbol AIFF.

Pursuant to the Company's registration statement on Form S-4, WaveDancer's stockholders granted the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board") the discretion to effect a reverse stock split of all of the outstanding shares of WaveDancer's common stock through an amendment to its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation at a ratio of not less than 1-for-1.5 and not more than 1-for-20, with the exact ratio and timing to be determined by the Board.

At the effective time of the reverse stock split, every three (3) shares of WaveDancer's issued and outstanding common stock will be converted automatically into one (1) issued and outstanding share of common stock without any change in the par value per share or the number of authorized shares of common stock. Stockholders holding shares through a brokerage account will have their shares automatically adjusted to reflect the 1-for-3 reverse stock split. It is not necessary for stockholders holding shares of the Company's common stock in certificated form to exchange their existing stock certificates for new stock certificates of the Company in connection with the reverse stock split, although stockholders may do so if they wish.

The reverse stock split will affect all stockholders uniformly and will not alter any stockholder's percentage interest in the Company's equity, except to the extent that the reverse stock split would result in a stockholder owning a fractional share. All fractional shares issuable to the Company's stockholders as a result of the reverse stock split will be aggregated and rounded up to the nearest whole share. The reverse stock split will reduce the number of shares of WaveDancer's common stock outstanding by a factor of three (3) from 2,013,180 shares to approximately 671,060 shares, subject to adjustment for the rounding up of fractional shares (with the post-merger total number of shares outstanding to be approximately 7,900,000). Proportional adjustments will be made to the number of shares of WaveDancer's common stock issuable upon the exercise or conversion of WaveDancer's equity awards, convertible preferred stock and warrants, as well as the applicable exercise price or conversion price. Stockholders with shares in brokerage accounts should direct any questions concerning the reverse stock split to their broker; all other stockholders may direct questions to the Company's transfer agent, Direct Transfer, LLC a subsidiary of Issuer Direct Corporation, via email at Julie.Felix@issuerdirect.com or by telephone at 919-744-2722.
