Equity Inc. Announces Reverse Stock Split
Fla. and CAMBRIDGE, United Kingdom, Oct. 9, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - CDT Equity Inc. (Nasdaq: CDT) ("CDT" or the "Company"),
announces that its board of directors has approved a 1-for-8 reverse stock split of the Company's common stock. The Company's
stockholders approved future reverse stock splits, their timing, and granted the board of directors authority to determine future exact
split ratios, at the Company's Special Meeting of Stockholders held on May 5, 2025. The directors expect that the reverse stock
split will increase the amount of funds the Company might be able to raise to execute its strategy.
reverse stock split will become effective on October 10, 2025, at 5:00 pm, Eastern Time (the "Effective Time"), and the Company's
common stock is expected to begin trading on a reverse stock split-adjusted basis on The Nasdaq Capital Market ("Nasdaq")
at market open under the existing ticker symbol, "CDT" on October 13, 2025, the date which has been approved by Nasdaq for
the effectiveness of such split.
of the Effective Time, every eight shares of the Company's issued and outstanding common stock will be combined into one share
of common stock. The par value per share of the Company's common stock will remain unchanged at $0.0001. Proportional adjustments
will be made to the number of shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Company's equity awards, convertible securities
and warrants, as well as the applicable exercise price, and the number of shares authorized and reserved for issuance pursuant to the
Company's equity incentive plans.
Company's common stock will continue to trade on Nasdaq under the symbol "CDT" following the reverse stock split, with
a new CUSIP number of 20678X403. After the effectiveness of the reverse stock split, the number of outstanding shares of common stock
will be reduced to approximately 1,352,448. No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the reverse stock split, and stockholders
who would otherwise be entitled to a fractional share will receive a proportional cash payment.
Company's transfer agent, VStock Transfer, LLC, will serve as the exchange agent for the reverse stock split. Registered stockholders
holding pre-reverse stock split shares of common stock electronically in book-entry form are not required to take any action to receive
post-reverse stock split shares. Those stockholders who hold their shares in brokerage accounts or in "street name" will
have their positions automatically adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split, subject to each broker's particular processes,
and will not be required to take any action in connection with the reverse stock split.
