Insights

Nauticus' 1-for-9 reverse split aims to maintain Nasdaq listing and potentially attract institutional investors, though fundamentally neutral for shareholders.

Nauticus Robotics (NASDAQ: KITT) has announced a 1-for-9 reverse stock split that will take effect on September 5, 2025. This corporate action will consolidate every nine shares into one share, proportionally increasing the stock price. The primary motivation behind this move is to regain compliance with Nasdaq's minimum bid price requirement, which suggests the stock has been trading below the exchange's threshold.

Reverse splits are typically implemented when companies face delisting risks due to prolonged low share prices. While Nauticus hasn't explicitly stated its current share price, the 9:1 ratio indicates a significant adjustment is needed. This suggests the company's shares have fallen substantially below the $1 Nasdaq minimum.

From a technical perspective, this action is value-neutral for shareholders. Investors will own fewer shares at a higher price, maintaining the same percentage ownership and total value. However, market perception of reverse splits is often negative, as they're frequently associated with struggling companies.

The timing—with board and shareholder approval already secured—indicates this move has been planned for some time. The company's emphasis on potentially attracting institutional investors with higher share prices suggests management is looking beyond mere compliance to improve their capital market positioning.

For current shareholders, no action is required for those holding shares electronically, while certificate holders will receive instructions from the transfer agent. The rounding up of fractional shares represents a minor positive for small shareholders but is immaterial to the overall transaction.

HOUSTON, Sept. 2, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Ìý(±·´¡³§¶Ù´¡²Ï: KITT, "Nauticus" or the "Company") today announced that it will proceed with a 1-for-9 reverse stock split ("Reverse Split") of its outstanding shares of common stock ("Common Stock") following approval by its Board of Directors and stockholders. This ratio is within the range approved by stockholders at the annual meeting of the Company's shareholders held on June 25, 2025. 

What is a Reverse Split?

A reverse stock split is a corporate action that reduces the number of outstanding shares of the corporation and proportionately increases their respective share price. In this case, Nauticus is implementing a 1-for-9 reverse stock split, meaning that every 9 shares of our Common Stock will be consolidated into one share and the share price will increase proportionally.

Why is Nauticus enacting the Reverse Split?

By reducing the number of shares, the per-share stock price of Nauticus' Common Stock should increase proportionally. The primary objective of the Reverse Split is to increase the share price to comply with the minimum bid price required by The Nasdaq Capital Market. A higher share price can also make the stock more attractive to a broader range of investors, including institutional investors who may have minimum price thresholds for investments.

How will the Reverse Split affect current investors?

Every 9 shares of Nauticus Common Stock held by shareholders will be automatically combined into one share. Fractional shares will be rounded up to the nearest share. This adjustment will not change the ownership percentages of the company or change the overall value of Nauticus, and the share price should be adjusted accordingly. Current shareholders will retain the same ownership percentage in Nauticus as before the Reverse Split. 

When will the Reverse Split be effective?

The reverse stock split is expected to become effective on September 05, 2025. After-market trading of shares in Nauticus' Common Stock is expected to be suspended temporarily at 7:50 p.m. Eastern Time on September 04, 2025. Nauticus expects the Common Stock will begin trading on a post-split basis at the market open on September 05, 2025 under the symbol "KITT" with the new CUSIP number 63911H 306.

Do shareholders need to take any action in connection with the Reverse Split?

Shareholders holding their shares electronically in book-entry form are not required to take any action to receive the post-split shares. Shareholders who hold certificated shares will receive instructions from Continental Stock Transfer and Trust, our transfer agent who is acting as the exchange agent for the Reverse Split.
