Plus Therapeutics Announces Reverse Stock Split
HOUSTON, Texas, March 31, 2026 Plus Therapeutics, Inc. (the Company ), a clinical-stage pharmaceutical company developing targeted radiotherapeutics with advanced platform technologies for central nervous system cancers, today announced that the Company's Board of Directors has approved a reverse stock split of its shares of common stock at a ratio of 1-for-25. The reverse stock split will become effective at 12:01 a.m. Eastern Time on April 2, 2026, and the Company's common stock will open for trading on The Nasdaq Capital Market on a post-split basis on April 2, 2026 under the Company's existing trading symbol, PSTV. At such time, the Company's common stock will also commence trading with a new CUSIP number, 72941H806.
The reverse stock split is being implemented to increase the per share trading price of the Company's common stock for the purpose of ensuring a share price high enough to comply with the minimum $1.00 bid price requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market.
At the effective time of the reverse stock split, every twenty-five (25) shares of Plus Therapeutics common stock issued and outstanding will be combined into one (1) share of common stock issued and outstanding, with no change to the par value of $0.001 per share. This will reduce the Company's outstanding common stock from approximately 171,550,698 shares to approximately 6,862,027 shares. No fractional shares of common stock will be issued as a result of the reverse stock split and instead holders of Plus common stock will receive a cash payment in lieu of fractional shares to which they would otherwise be entitled. The shares underlying the Company's outstanding equity awards and warrants will also be adjusted accordingly. The reverse stock split affects all stockholders uniformly and will not alter any stockholder's percentage interest in the Company's common stock, except for adjustments that may result from the treatment of fractional shares.
The Company has retained its transfer agent, Broadridge Financial Services, Inc. ( Broadridge ), to act as its exchange agent for the reverse stock split. Stockholders with shares held in certificate form will receive from Broadridge instructions regarding the exchange of their certificates. Stockholders that hold shares in book-entry form or hold their shares in brokerage accounts are not required to take any action and will see the impact of the reverse stock split reflected in their accounts, subject to brokers' particular processes. Beneficial holders of Plus Therapeutics common stock are encouraged to contact their bank, broker, custodian or other nominee with questions regarding procedures for processing the reverse stock split.
