SAN ANTONIO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- bioAffinity Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: BIAF, BIAFW) , a biotechnology company focused on the need for noninvasive tests for the detection of early-stage cancer, today announced that it will effect a 1-for-15 reverse split of its common stock. Commencing with the opening of trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market on August 24, 2026, the Company’s common stock will trade on a post-split basis under the symbol BIAF. The reverse stock split was approved by the Company’s stockholders at the Company’s annual meeting held on April 30, 2026.
As a result of the reverse stock split, the CUSIP number for the Company’s common stock will now be 09076W406. As a result of the reverse stock split, every 15 shares of issued and outstanding common stock will be exchanged for one share of common stock. Any stockholders who would have otherwise received fractional shares will receive cash in lieu of such fractional shares. Immediately after the reverse stock split becomes effective, the Company will have approximately 592,373 shares of common stock issued and outstanding.
The reverse stock split is primarily intended to bring the Company into compliance with Nasdaq’s minimum bid price requirement.
As a result of the reverse stock split, proportionate adjustments will be made to the per-share exercise prices of, and the number of shares underlying, the Company’s outstanding stock options, as well as to the number of shares available for future awards granted under the Company’s stock incentive plans. In addition, proportionate adjustments will be made to the per-share exercise prices of, and the number of shares underlying, outstanding warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock. The CUSIP number for the Company’s publicly traded warrants will not change as a result of the reverse stock split.
The combination of, and reduction in, the issued shares of common stock as a result of the reverse stock split will occur automatically at the effective time of the reverse stock split without any additional action on the part of the Company’s stockholders. The Company's transfer agent, VStock Transfer LLC, is acting as the exchange agent for the reverse stock split and will send stockholders of record holding their shares electronically in book-entry form a transaction notice indicating the number of shares of common stock held after the reverse stock split, along with a cash payment in lieu of any fractional shares, in accordance with the processes at their respective, bank, broker or nominee.
Additional information concerning the reverse stock split can be found in the Company’s definitive proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 2, 2025.
