Insights

Sensei's 1-for-20 reverse split aims to maintain Nasdaq listing by boosting share price, signaling potential financial distress.

Sensei Biotherapeutics' announcement of a 1-for-20 reverse stock split is a clear attempt to maintain Nasdaq compliance by artificially boosting its share price above the minimum bid requirement. This defensive maneuver typically signals underlying financial challenges, as companies rarely pursue such dramatic consolidations from positions of strength.

The reduction from 25.2 million to approximately 1.3 million outstanding shares will mathematically increase the share price by a factor of 20, though total market capitalization remains unchanged. This cosmetic adjustment doesn't improve fundamental business operations or cash position.

Particularly concerning is the timing and ratio of this split. A 1-for-20 ratio is unusually steep, suggesting the current share price has fallen significantly below Nasdaq's $1 minimum bid requirement. Such aggressive consolidations often indicate prolonged price deterioration and can trigger negative market perception.

For existing shareholders, while their ownership percentage technically remains unchanged, reverse splits historically correlate with continued share price erosion after implementation. The split also reduces market liquidity by decreasing the float, potentially widening bid-ask spreads.

This action represents a critical juncture for Sensei, buying time to demonstrate improved clinical results or secure additional financing, but does nothing to address the underlying factors that drove the share price down initially.

BOSTON, June 13, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sensei Biotherapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: SNSE), a clinical stage biotechnology company focused on the discovery and development of next-generation therapeutics for cancer patients, today announced that it will implement a 1-for-20 reverse stock split of its issued and outstanding shares of common stock ("Reverse Stock Split"), effective atĢż5:00 p.m. Eastern TimeĢżonĢżJune 16, 2025. The Reverse Stock Split was approved by the Company's stockholders at the Company's Annual Meeting of Stockholders held onĢżMay 21, 2025, with the final ratio subsequently determined by the Company's Board of Directors. The reverse stock split is intended to bring the Company into compliance with the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market.

The Company's common stock is expected to begin trading on a split-adjusted basis when the markets open on Tuesday,ĢżJune 17, 2025Ģżunder the Company's existing trading symbol "SNSE" with the new CUSIP number 81728A207.

At the effective time of the Reverse Stock Split, every 20 shares of the Company's issued and outstanding common stock will be automatically reclassified and combined into 1 share of common stock without any change in the par value per share. This will reduce the number of issued and outstanding shares of common stock from approximately 25.2 million shares to approximately 1.3 million shares. The Reverse Stock Split will proportionately reduce the number of authorized shares of the Company's common stock from 250,000,000 shares to 12,500,000 shares. Proportionate adjustments will be made to the conversion and exercise prices of the company’s outstanding stock options, restricted stock unit awards, warrants and to the number of shares issued and issuable under the Company’s equity incentive plans.

Fractional shares will not be issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. Stockholders who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fractional share will be entitled to receive a cash payment. The Reverse Stock Split will affect all stockholders uniformly and will not alter any stockholder's relative interest in the Company's equity securities, except for any adjustments for fractional shares.

Equiniti Trust Company, LLC is acting as the exchange agent and transfer agent for the Reverse Stock Split. Stockholders holding their shares electronically are not required to take any action to receive post-split shares. Stockholders owning shares through a bank, broker or other nominee will have their positions adjusted to reflect the Reverse Stock Split and will receive payment for any fractional shares in accordance with their respective bank's, broker's, or nominee's particular processes.
