Full Press Release Details
Announces Reverse Stock Split
ROCKAWAY, N.J., February 14, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- electroCore,
Inc. (Nasdaq: ECOR) (the "Company"), a commercial-stage bioelectronic medicine and wellness company, today announced a planned
reverse stock split of its shares of common stock at a ratio of 1-for-15. The reverse stock split will take effect as of 12:01 a.m. ET,
on Wednesday, February 15, 2023, and shares of electroCore will trade on a post-split basis on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the existing
trading symbol, "ECOR," at the market open on February 15, 2023.
At the Company's special meeting of stockholders held February
13, 2023, stockholders approved an amendment to the Company's certificate of incorporation to implement a reverse stock split in
a range of 1-for-5 to 1-for-50 and granted the board of directors the authority to implement and determine the exact split ratio within
such range, which was set by the board at 1-for-15. Following the reverse stock split, the new CUSIP number of the common stock will be
28531P202, with the par value per share of common stock remaining at $0.001. A proportionate adjustment will be made to the per-share
exercise prices and number of shares issuable under all outstanding warrants and equity awards.
When the reverse stock split becomes effective, every 15 shares of
the Company's issued and outstanding common stock will be combined into one share of common stock. No fractional shares will
be issued in connection with the reverse stock split. Stockholders who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fractional share will
instead receive a cash payment based on the closing sales price of the Company's common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market
on February 14, 2023. Each stockholder's percentage ownership interest in electroCore will remain unchanged after the reverse stock
split (other than the de minimis impact from the elimination of the fractional shares).
The Company is implementing the reverse stock split to seek to increase
the price of its common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market and potentially regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement of
$1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive trading days, as required for continuing listing of the common stock on the Nasdaq Capital
Market pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the "Bid Price Rule"). The Company has appealed the December 20, 2022,
determination letter from the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") that the common stock has not achieved compliance with the
Bid Price Rule. A hearing was held on February 2, 2023, before a Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the "Panel"). While the appeal process
is pending, the potential suspension of trading of the common stock by Nasdaq is stayed, a Form 25-NSE will not be filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission, and the common stock continues to trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market until the hearing process concludes and
the Panel issues a written decision. The Company has furnished the Panel with a plan to regain compliance, part of which is the implementation
of the reverse stock split in order to attempt to regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule and thereby avoid delisting of the common
stock from the Nasdaq Capital Market. There can be no assurance that the Panel will grant the Company's request for a continuing
suspension of delisting or continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market, nor that the common stock will regain compliance with the Bid
