LONG ISLAND CITY, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Cemtrex Inc. (Nasdaq: CETX, CETXP, CETXW), a leading global technology company, today announced that effective at 9:00 a.m., EDT, on June 13, 2019, the Company will effect a six-for-one reverse stock split of its outstanding common stock.

The reverse stock split is primarily intended to bring the Company into compliance with the minimum average closing share price requirement for maintaining its listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market. The Company's common stock will continue to trade under the symbol "CETX". Upon the effectiveness of the reverse stock split, every six shares of issued and outstanding common stock before the open of business on June 13, 2019 will be combined into one issued and outstanding share of common stock, with no change in par value per share. The Company's common stock will open for trading on Nasdaq on June 13, 2019 on a post-split basis.

The reverse stock split will reduce the number of shares of the Company's outstanding common stock from approximately 16,737,009 million shares to approximately 2,789,502 million shares. No fractional shares will be issued as a result of the reverse stock split. Any fractional shares that would result from the reverse stock split will be rounded up to the nearest whole share.

The reverse stock split will affect all issued and outstanding shares of the Company's common shares, as well as the number of shares of common shares available for issuance under the Company's stock options and warrants. In addition, the reverse stock split will reduce the number of shares of common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options or warrants outstanding immediately prior to the reverse split and correspondingly increase the respective exercise prices. The reverse stock split will affect all shareholders uniformly and will not alter any shareholder's percentage interest in the Company's equity, except to the extent that the reverse stock split results in some shareholders experiencing an adjustment of a fractional share as described above.

Shareholders holding share certificates will receive information from Clear Trust, LLC the Company's transfer agent, regarding the process for exchanging their shares of common stock. Shareholders with questions may contact our transfer agent by calling 813-235-4490.
