(Nasdaq: TNXP) (Tonix or the Company), a fully-integrated biopharmaceutical company with marketed products and a pipeline of development candidates, today announced that it will effect a 1-for-100 reverse stock split of its outstanding common stock. The reverse stock split will be effective for trading purposes as of the commencement of trading on February 5, 2025.



The reverse stock split is intended to increase the per share trading price of Tonix’s common stock to satisfy the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on The NASDAQ Capital Market (Rule 5550(a)(1)). Tonix’s common stock will continue to trade on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbol “TNXP” and under a new CUSIP number, 890260839.

The reverse split will also apply to common stock issuable upon the exercise of Tonix’s outstanding warrants and stock options. The reverse stock split will not proportionately reduce the number of shares of authorized common stock, as permitted under Nevada law, as shareholder approval for the reverse stock split was obtained on October 30, 2024.
