NEW YORK, June 25, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Indaptus Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: INDP) (“Indaptus” or the “Company”), a clinical stage biotechnology company dedicated to pioneering innovative cancer and viral infection treatments, today announced that its Board of Directors has approved a one-for-twenty eight reverse stock split of its common stock that is scheduled to become effective after trading closes on June 26, 2025. Beginning on June 27, 2025, the Company’s common stock will trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market on a split adjusted basis under a new CUSIP number 45339J 204. The Company’s common stock will continue to trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “INDP.” As previously disclosed, at the Indaptus Therapeutics 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on June 10, 2025, the Company’s stockholders approved a proposal authorizing the Company’s Board of Directors, among other things, to effect a reverse stock split at a ratio in the range of 1-for-5 and 1-for-28 in order to increase the per share price and bid price of the Company’s common stock to regain compliance with the continued listing requirements of Nasdaq and make the common stock more attractive to certain institutional investors, which would provide for a stronger investor base.

Upon effectiveness of the reverse stock split, every 28 shares of the Company’s outstanding common stock will be converted to one share of common stock. In addition, a proportionate adjustment will be made to the per share exercise price and the number of shares issuable upon the exercise of all outstanding options and warrants entitling the holders to purchase common stock.

No fractional shares will be issued if, as a result of the reverse stock split, a stockholder would otherwise become entitled to a fractional share because the number of shares of common stock they hold before the reverse stock split is not evenly divisible by the split ratio. Instead, each stockholder will be entitled to receive a cash payment in lieu of such fractional share. The cash payment to be paid will be equal to the fraction of a share to which such stockholder would otherwise be entitled multiplied by the closing price per share as reported by The Nasdaq Capital Market (as adjusted to give effect to the reverse stock split) on June 26, 2025. The number of authorized shares of the Company’s common stock will not change, while the number of outstanding shares will be reduced from approximately 16 million to approximately 572 thousand.

Registered stockholders holding their shares of common stock in book-entry or through a bank, broker or other nominee form do not need to take any action in connection with the reverse stock split. For those stockholders holding physical stock certificates, the Company’s transfer agent, VStock Transfer, LLC, will send instructions for exchanging those certificates for new certificates representing the post-split number of shares. VStock Transfer, LLC can be reached at (212) 828-8436.

Additional information about the reverse stock split can be found in the Company’s definitive proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 28, 2025, a copy of which is also available at www.sec.gov or at https://indaptusrx.com/investors/ under the SEC Filings tab located on the Investors page.
